If you ever commit sacrilege install Office, iTunes, Norton Antivirus and other atrocities in Ubuntu – I give you a clue OpenOffice, Songbird and ClamAV – But some people need an environment free of viruses yet productive programs like Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Illustrator, Autocad, because face it, Gimp and other programs are not just the size for professional environments – although user at home – and also the games. While there are excellents solutions and companies concerned to remove their ports to Linux. But for those companies who do not believe in the mighty penguin just tell them Lero, Lero … Well not so much, as in theory that would benefit by their licenses, I’m talking about the best alternative to virtualization, Wine.

Wine is an acronym for Wine Is Not an Emulator and helps you to run applications and games that they normally would in Windows, the latest gem that was the juge in GTA San Andreas. I do not play any better because my PC does not let me. This excellent solution for Linux is now in version 1.1.30 and has the following improvements:

- Support for OpenAL.
- Improvements in HTML and JavaScript support.
- Improvements and fixes in the common controls.
- More work on Direct3D 10.
- Better support MAPI.
- Fixed many bugs.

The source code is available and also a binary for different distributions on the link below.
