Wine (originally an acronym for "Wine Is Not an Emulator") is a compatibility layer capable of running Windows applications on several POSIX-compliant operating systems, such as Linux, Mac OSX, & BSD. Instead of simulating internal Windows logic like a virtual machine or emulator, Wine translates Windows API calls into POSIX calls on-the-fly, eliminating the performance and memory penalties of other methods and allowing you to cleanly integrate Windows applications into your desktop.

The Wine development release 1.7.31 is now available.
What's new in this release:

• New version of the Gecko engine based on Firefox 34.
• Support for the Visual Studio 2013 version of the C/C++ runtimes.
• More font metrics support in DirectWrite.
• Some more Direct2D work.
• 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. follow this page for information about  Install Wine 1.7.30 in Linux Mint, Ubuntu 14.10, 14.04, 13.10, 13.04, 12.04 and Debian Based Distro [PPA]
