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.
