I recently used Wine on Ubuntu and was amazed how smoothly it just worked. Download an msi Windows installer and open it just like you would in Windows. The program installs just like on Windows, and runs from its own icon just like in Windows. You hardly need to think about the fact that it&#x27;s not Windows. Understandably there were a few compatibility problems but having it so well integrated into the UI was a surprise. It&#x27;s perhaps almost good enough that you don&#x27;t need to port your Windows application to Linux anymore. Just avoid the broken functionality. As a Windows programmer, I now keep Wine compatibility in mind when deciding to use new features and libraries and will be trying to remove incompatible code.
