+unabatedshagie Subscriber¹ Posted June 18, 2008 Subscriber¹ Share Posted June 18, 2008 meh, it's good that it's finally reached version 1 but I don't see what the huge fuss is about. IMO it seems like far too much work to get things working on it unless they are on the platinum/gold list. I've tried a few simple programs on it but apart from a few games that I would like to try, foobar and miranda (which I know work but most of the plugins don't) there isn't anything from windows land that I haven't found a linux replacement for. I'm aware that other people have other needs that might require more use from wine than me though so if it works for them then thats cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwolfe Veteran Posted June 18, 2008 Veteran Share Posted June 18, 2008 ^^^ I agree that I much prefer native Linux equivalents, and that is the way to go in a long-term approach to Linux-based computing. However, wine is an acceptable stop-gap. In addition, I think that their 0.9 stuff was impressive in its ability to run a variety of apps. Nice to see they updated their numbering to 1.x (not that the number matters all that much to me). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pong Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I'm very happy for the wine team, they should go out and have a beer together to celebrate. :beer: One of the few things keeping me from Linux full time is Photoshop CS 3 and Final Fantasy XI, photoshop being a very request app and FFXI being the most requested. Here's to hoping they get around to fixing them soon :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markwolfe Veteran Posted June 19, 2008 Veteran Share Posted June 19, 2008 Well also bear in mind Wine development helps out ReactOS to becoming more usable day by day. It's a very exciting time, the open source community has made huge steps in reverse engineering Windows. Ugh. That is an ugly, dark and winding road. ReactOS is an interesting experiment, but its goal can never be achieved. The reason: a "Windows" clone is a moving target. Windows 95? Windows NT? XP? Vista? There is so much reverse-engineering work to do, and the goalposts keep getting moved. They have done amazing work, but I don't see this as much more than an interesting experiment. Who is the target? Corporations that have legacy apps that only run on NT4? Those companies would likely prefer to keep NT4, and just firewall that PC (or groups of PCs). Or even run Vista and virtualize an instance of NT4 for their needed tasks. Kudos to the ReactOS team for the hard work they have done, but I don't see the payback being greater than the resources spent for the ReactOS product. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borbus Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Although any free software is good... Wine is almost useless for free software users. How much free software is there that runs on Windows only? I can think of a few, but most have equal or better cross-platform replacements anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afusion Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 You know just reading "after 15 years of development and beta testing" It is a major accomplishment of endurance and skill. They didn't produce gimmicks with version increments (2.0, 3.0 etc). They worked their ass off for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKer Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Great use, but WINE has been amazingly good for a long time. At least they've squashed the bugs (most of which I've not seen, it's been flawless on my system for ages!). I hope this makes for a good PR push, as more people should know how good WINE is and how easy it makes running Windows apps on other platforms - it's something I've come to rely on, and makes using other operation systems possible without constantly switching machines or OSs.

+InsaneNutter MVC Posted July 14, 2008 MVC Share Posted July 14, 2008 July 11, 2008: Wine 1.1.1 ReleasedThe Wine development release 1.1.1 is now available. What's new in this release: Fixes for Photoshop CS3 and Office 2007 installers. More progress on gdiplus. Support for Unicode files in regedit. Improved video playback. Many Richedit fixes and improvements. Various bug fixes. The source is available now. Binary packages are in the process of being built, and will appear soon at their respective download locations. Sounds good to me if Photoshop and Office 2007 can be used in Linux :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k311 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 i think this is a great release. the fact that i can install photoshop and office right out of the box make this a perfect way for me to almost never have to boot into windows. plus there are other things to consider. there are many irc clients for linux, but in my opinion, there arent really any good ones. so instead of just being without, i can load my windows version of mirc with my personal scripts written up for it and it works perfectly. i prefer a lot of my linux apps over their windows counterparts (deluge, k3b, etc) but some things i can't do without, and wine is great at bridging the gap (plus it plays starcraft better than windows vista!)

chrisj1968 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 what would be more awesome than this news is, if these app developers would see that linux is a VERY stable, reliable and a real challenger to Windows and OSX, then we could see linux really put the other OS'es up to a challenge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
