The Wine project has always impressed me and seeing all of these wonderful changes just keeps impressing me more. Take a look at that list of graphical and audio changes? Whoa. VMR-9 video rendering support, the slew of Direct3D additions and strengthening of the implementations of some of the features, better networking support including NTLM and negotiate authentication protocol support.
Refraining from going into full fanboy mode, but I hope the Wine project gets to the point where one day any Windows app can run with an almost guaranteed inside of the Linux operating system. The day I can run Adobe Creative Suite 6 from within Ubuntu basically bug free is the day I ditch Windows completely for Linux.
Some Windows apps will never run on Wine due to the scope of the emulation, but you might someday run them on ReactOS which uses Wine and takes over where Wine stops.
