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 1.7.30 is now available.
What's new in this release:

• More support for fonts in DirectWrite.
• Improved ATL thunk support.
• A few more C runtime functions.
• Regedit import/export fixes.
• 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 and Ubuntu Based Distro.
