刚刚步入Linux，难免要有时利用一下Windows的程序资源，Wine提供了一个用来运行Windows程序的平台。 Wine(Wine Is Not an Emulator的缩写，即Wine不仅仅是一个模拟器)是一个在XWindows和Unix上执行的Windows APIs(应用程序接口)，也可以认为Wine是一个Windows兼容层。

Wine is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of X, OpenGL, and Unix.

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.
