<span style=

"font-size:8pt; ">Wine is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of X, OpenGL, and Unix.</span></span></span>
<p>
<span style=
"font-family:MS Sans Serif "><span style=
"color:#800000 "><span style=
"font-size:8pt; ">Think of Wine as a compatibility layer for running Windows programs. Wine does not require Microsoft Windows, as it is a completely free alternative implementation of the Windows API consisting of 100% non-Microsoft code, however Wine can optionally use native Windows DLLs if they are available. Wine provides both a development toolkit for porting Windows source code to Unix as well as a program loader, allowing many unmodified Windows programs to run on x86-based Unixes, including Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, and Solaris.</span></span></span>
