Wine 0.9.28 Update
Just when everyone's drinking and being merry this season, the open source WINE community just released their latest version, 0.9.28, to the community. What's new in this release?
- OpenGL in child windows should work again.
- Better mouse support in games.
- Beginnings of new state management in Direct3D.
- Improved audio and font support on Mac OS.
- Lots of bug fixes.
Download and play with it whilst you have time during the holidays. 
Personally, I prefer full virtualisation since it allows me to use other operating systems besides any of the Microsoft operating systems, which I do not really use.
