My progress in porting Wine

Remember that Wine is not an emulator… it’s an implementation of the Windows API for other OS’s so if we could run Firefox for Windows on Wine, it would run natively. There’s no shame in running software through Wine.

An actual port to Haiku would be preferable but if this allows me to run Inkscape on Haiku, then I’ve got all but two of my necessary applications on Haiku… the last two being OpenVPN and actual virtualized VM’s through Qemu or Virtualbox.

I’m getting my new workstation on Thursday and the first thing I want to try is to run Haiku on it. The prospect of having a near complete workstation experience on Haiku is amazing. Thanks for all the hard work!
