wine is a bunch of software programs which allows a person to run windows programs on x86-based unixes which includes linux, freebsd and solaris. wine is not an emulator.

this is a bit exciting for me because with wine i can play my windows games on linux. and i could possibly run photoshop (up to cs2) on my linux machine and test some customized programs that runs only in a dos-box. they have a database of windows applications that have been tested to run on wine on a handful of linux boxes. not all windows applications run flawlessly and some not at all so check the applications database if you can run your fave windows program on your linux box. lastly, they also have a faq of sorts on why wine is important.
