Question I want to reinstall Internet Explorer 9, however it is not listed into control panel so how to reinstall Internet Explorer 9 on my windows 7 machine? Solved Answer It’s a very simple process, just follow below mentioned step by step guide to reinstall Internet Explorer. Here you’ll also get the steps to downgrade internet explorer version. That method will solve most of the Internet Explorer issues, because it would re-create all the dll’s files and re-register all them, also re-create all the registry keys and values.
That’s why that method will solve most of the IE issues. You can also downgrade internet explorer version to default version ny following “method2”. That method also can solve 50% issues of the internet explorer. So follow the below mentioned method to reinstall Internet Explorer 9. Method 1. Click on Start button.
Click on Control Panel. Click on Programs. Click on Programs & Features. You’ll get a window which have listed all the installed programs on your computer. Look on the left side-bar, and then click on “ Turn of windows features on or off”.
Then you will get a dialog box which have listed all the Microsoft inbuilt programs. Uncheck the check box “ Internet Explorer 8/9/10” on this dialog and click on OK. Wait until it gives you a message that “It finished and restart the computer”. Click on Yes to restart your computer. After restart you’ll get your internet explorer uninstalled.
To reinstall Internet explorer, come back to the same dialog box and Re-check the check box again and click on OK. Wait until it gives you a message that “It finished and restart the computer” click on Yes to restart computer. After restarted, you’ll get internet explorer installed. Hopefully issues would be solved which you were facing. Method 2. Click on Start button. Click on Control Panel.
Click on Programs. Click on Programs & Features. You’ll get a window which have listed all the installed programs on your computer.
Look on the left side-bar, and click on “ View installed updates”. Uninstall “ Internet Explorer 8/9/10” from right side pane. Then restart your computer when it prompts. After restart you’ll get uninstalled the newer version of internet explorer, and get installed a default version of internet explorer automatically. Hopefully your issue would be solved with downgraded version, which you were facing.

About Internet Explorer 8 Windows Internet Explorer 8 (abbreviated IE8) is the latest web browser developed by Microsoft in the long running Internet Explorer browser series. The browser was released on March 19, 2009 for Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, and Windows 7. Both 32-bit and 64-bit builds are available.
It is the successor to Internet Explorer 7, released in 2006, and is the default browser for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 operating systems except in Europe. IE8's global market share is estimated to be about 18-20%. According to Microsoft, security, ease of use, and improvements in RSS, Cascading Style Sheets, and Ajax support were its priorities for Internet Explorer 8. Standards mode Internet Explorer 8's main rendering mode, known as standards mode, has improved support for various web standards, especially CSS, compared to Internet Explorer 7 and earlier versions.
The web standards supported by IE8 include the following:. HTML, including the HTML object fallback and the abbr and elements. Data: URIs.
CSS level 1 is fully supported. CSS level 2 is mostly supported however the CSS level 2 implementation does diverge from the CSS2 specification on over 50 counts. CSS level 3 is partially supported.
DOM storage. Partial HTML 5 support, including cross-document messaging. Selectors APIs.
DOM, that brings it in line with implementations in other browsers. Attributes and properties in DOM objects are now handled differently, and the behavior of the getAttribute, setAttribute and removeAttribute modifiers have been changed to match the behavior of other browsers. Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA) specification for enhanced accessibility in Ajax-based rich Internet applications. However, IE8 does not support some other W3C standards. Wine configuration This is with a clean configuration directory, with no other applications or games installed.
Internet Explorer 8 Developer Tools Conclusion and known problems While IE 8 will run and render web pages just fine there is still a large number of problems/bugs that remain to be resolved before you will want to use the browser on Linux on a daily basis. Bookmarks and RSS feeds don't currently work and their is a number of problems related to comctl32.dll for example the forward and backward buttons background isn't painted and even worse if you select Help the browser will lock up. I also had a number of lock ups when trying to save Internet options. Their are also major problems with comdlg32.dll the address and search bars don't accept input at this time, so what ive done is set Google as my homepage and then go from there. You can easily do this in the user.reg file, just change the start page to what you want your home page to be. Here is what I have as a example: Software Microsoft Internet Explorer Main 'Start Page'='You can however view web pages, and navigate around a site to see how well it renders with IE 8 if your a web developer. One way to help support further development of Internet Explorer is to and then vote for IE 8 as the app that you would most like to see supported in a future release.

Interesting post, i can understand why you might want to do this from a web development perspective (to have multiple browsers to test with). However you may not have read the IE8 eula which says: 'You may not use it if you do not have a license for the software. You may use this supplement with each validly licensed copy of the software.' (software being a legal copy of windows) so installing on linux/wine is prohibited as you are not using IE8 with windows.
I imagine you just pressed 'I agree' without reading the eula (many of us do that), but you may want to at least put a disclaimer in the post for people who do worry about licensing issues. I run Internet Explorer on Linux in order to use my company's OWA (Outlook Web Access) website for email. I can use this site in Firefox, but not surprisingly, many features are disabled unless you access it in Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, OWA requires https access, which does not yet work for me under wine 1.1.29 when running Internet Explorer 7 (and presumably IE8, unless someone can confirm otherwise). IE6 under wine can access https sites fine, so I'm still stuck using this older version. Tom, are you sure that I should place the missing files into $USER/.wine/drivec/.?
Because I have noticed that other files which exist in the (New override for library) drop down box, these files locates inside /usr/lib/wine folder (with a name like this: browseui.dll.so) so these files do not reside in $USER/.wine/drivec/. folder, this path that you provided contains the three files you've listed above (msimtf.dll, uxtheme.dll and msctf.dll) but not the ones that exist in the library override drop down box in wine.
So I found out that I should copy the files to /usr/lib/wine, I'm sorry for bothering you, correct me if I'm wrong! Harking back to the question as to why anybody would want to use IE8 on Linux.
I've been working with UNIX since 1985 as an administrator and programmer, but have also been working with Windows since the early 90s. Windows has, traditionally, been far more user friendly than UNIX. Just setting up X-Windows on UNIX was, once, a challenge and certainly no task for the average user.
It was not ideal for a desktop machine unless you were a geek (I'm putting my hand up here). This is no longer the case. Ubuntu 10.04 is quite a sophisticated implementation. I would much rather use Ubuntu than Windows, but the reality is that my bread and butter is earned through my work with Oracle's Siebel CRM. This is a three tiered system with a DB, Application and Web server. The client is Microsoft IE, and only Microsoft IE, versions 5.5, 6, 7 and 8. The interactivity is heavily dependent on Active X components.
Any other browser provides only very low interactivity for the user (in my implementation, low interactivity is not supported anyway). So, in my world, I would love to run IE8 on Wine and clearly have good reasons for it. But, alas, the EULA does not allow it in the first instance and in the second instance, from what I've read here, IE8 on Wine is far too buggy. The best I can hope for at this time is IE8 on Windows in a virtual machine hosted by Linux. But then, I might as well just use Windows 7. Anonymous said.

If you have a legal copy of 2003 or xp you can just load that in VirtualBox OSE. Some gotchas I found in the install on the latest Debian, but after poking around I found the virtualbox-ose-modules guest package for my kernel and it worked. With 128 MB alloted for memory and a 5G virtual disk I got IE8 plus Winamp and Norton AV running just fine. Sure beats fighting all the stuff listed here.
Wine is great for Sol and Freecell and Quicken and a bunch of stuff I haven't done lately. For some reason no one has been able to duplicate the card appearance for Windows Solitaire and the other versions hurt my eyes. Being able to run Internet Explorer on GNU/Linux or Unix systems would mean 'even Microsoft native programs can be run outside of Windows'.
This will shut up those people who claim that GNU/Linux have very limited softwares that it can run. And I hope Wine becomes more and more capable of running Windows games and other programs, so that Windows become less and less usefull. I have nothing against Windows other than the fact it stands for monopoly/hegemony/ignorance/restriction/vendor-lockin. Look at all these people who can't fathom why anyone would want to use IE8.
It doesn't really take much though to figure it out. Web developers need to test their applications in Internet Explorer. I setup AWStats on one of my web applications and it says that over 60% of our clients are using IE and 80% of the clients who use IE are using IE6. The reason I found this page is that my company bought a time reporting web application that does not work in Firefox, Chrome, Opera, or Safari.
Now that was definitely a mistake but it's a mistake that I have to deal with and to deal with it, I'm installing IE on Fedora. So those out there who say, 'There's no reason for this because my way is the right way and there is no reason to do it differently', your reality is small, boring, and not real at all.
3.14 / August 17, 2018; 0 days ago ( 2018-08-17) Written in, (development) (experimental ), 18.0 MB (compressed tar.) v2.1+ Website Wine ( for Wine Is Not an ) is a that aims to allow ( and ) developed for to run on. Wine also provides a, known as Winelib, against which developers can Windows applications to help them to Unix-like systems. Wine the Windows by translating Windows into -compliant, recreating the of Windows systems, and providing alternative implementations of Windows, system services through wineserver and various other components (such as, the, and ). Wine is predominantly written using reverse-engineering, to avoid issues. The name Wine initially was an abbreviation for Windows Emulator. Wine later shifted to the Wine Is Not an Emulator in order to differentiate the software from.
No or occurs when running a Windows under Wine. 'Emulation' would refer to of code intended for one (such as ) by software running on a different processor (such as ). While the name sometimes appears in the forms WINE and wine, the project developers have agreed to standardize on the form Wine. In a 2007 survey by desktoplinux.com of 38,500 Linux desktop users, 31.5% of respondents reported using Wine to run Windows applications. This plurality was larger than all programs combined, as well as larger than the 27.9% who reported not running Windows applications. Bob Amstadt, the initial project leader, and Eric Youngdale started the Wine project in 1993 as a way to run Windows applications on Linux. It was inspired by two ' products, the for the operating system, and the, which was an attempt to get the fully reimplemented in the public domain as an standard but rejected due to pressure from in 1996.
Wine originally targeted for, but as of 2010 focuses on and versions which have become the standard on newer operating systems. The project originated in discussions on in in June 1993. Has led the project since 1994.
The project has proven time-consuming and difficult for the developers, mostly because of incomplete and incorrect of the Windows API. While Microsoft extensively documents most Win32, some areas such as and have no publicly available specification from Microsoft, and Windows also includes undocumented low-level functions, undocumented behavior and obscure that Wine must duplicate precisely in order to allow some applications to work properly. Consequently, the Wine team has many function calls and file formats in such areas as. The Wine project originally released Wine under the same as the X Window System, but owing to concern about versions of Wine not contributing their changes back to the core project, work as of March 2002 has used the LGPL for its licensing. Wine officially entered beta with version 0.9 on 25 October 2005. Version 1.0 was released on 17 June 2008, after 15 years of development.
Version 1.2 was released on 16 July 2010, version 1.4 on 7 March 2012, version 1.6 on 18 July 2013. And version 1.8 on 19 December 2015.
Development versions are released roughly every two weeks. Corporate sponsorship The main corporate sponsor of Wine is, which employs Julliard and many other Wine developers to work on Wine and on, CodeWeavers' supported version of Wine.
CrossOver includes some application-specific tweaks not considered suitable for the WineHQ version, as well as some additional proprietary components. The involvement of for a time assisted the project, chiefly by employing Julliard and others to work on it. Corel had an interest in porting, its, to Linux (especially ). Corel later cancelled all Linux-related projects after Microsoft made major investments in Corel, stopping their Wine effort. Other corporate sponsors include, which hired CodeWeavers to fix Wine so ran well enough to be ported directly to Linux using the same binary as on Windows; Google later paid for improvements to Wine's support for. Wine is also a regular beneficiary of Google's program. Software architecture The goal of Wine is to implement the fully or partially that are required by programs that the users of Wine wish to run on top of a Unix-like system.
Win32 API The Win32 function calls (over 10,000 library calls) are collectively called the Win32 API. DirectX DirectX is a collection of APIs for rendering, audio and input. While most office software does not make use of these, computer games do.
As of 2017, Wine contains a DirectX 9.0c implementation. DirectInput.
Main article: Direct3D Direct3D 9 Many games which use a Direct3D 9 rendering path can run on top of Wine. Gallium3D The driver model creates a module called Gallium3D State Tracker. A Gallium3D State Tracker was written for 9 in (and another one for Direct3D 10 written in which has not been maintained). After some modification to Wine, it is now possible to use Direct3D 9 games without the requirement to translate Direct3D calls into OpenGL calls, thus gaining a huge performance boost. Direct3D 10 Direct3D versions newer than 9c are not well supported by Wine.
Direct3D 11 On December 12, 2016, Phoronix mentioned that a recent revision of Wine could run the video game. Microsoft Windows family of operating systems The concept underlying the Windows API is exactly contrary to the one underlying the concept of the.
The functions comprising the Linux API are simple, with few parameters and few places where there are multiple ways to perform the same operation. Win32 provides very comprehensive interfaces with many parameters, often with three or four ways of doing the same thing, without the programmer actually knowing the costs, as documentation of the involved system calls is not available outside Microsoft. Additionally Win32 mixes low-level and high-level functions together.
The programming interfaces of the Microsoft Windows family of OSes consist largely of. These contain a huge number of wrapper sub-routines for the system calls of the kernel, the NTOS kernel-mode program (ntoskrnl.exe). Only programmers at Microsoft write to the system-call layer, as documentation is not publicly available. The published user-mode interfaces all belong to operating system personalities that are implemented using subsystems that run on top of the NTOS layers. As a result, a programmer never knows the cost of sub-routine. But Windows also includes a number of programming interfaces which are implemented as services that run as separate processes.
Applications communicate with user-mode services through RPCs. Unlike Linux, Windows is case insensitive, meaning it does not generally distinguish between upper- and lowercase. Wine Wine implements the Windows (ABI) entirely in, rather than as a. Services normally provided by the kernel in Windows are provided by a known as the wineserver, whose task is to implement basic Windows functionality, as well as integration with the, and translation of into native Windows exceptions.
Although Wine implements some aspects of the, it is not possible to use native Windows drivers with it, due to Wine's underlying architecture. This prevents certain applications and games from working, for example those using copy-protection which requires to be installed. Wine is primarily developed for Linux, but the, and Solaris ( was dropped in 1.5.26) are currently (as of August 2013 ) well maintainedalthough a packaged file for Mac isn't available. Wine is also available for and a number of other systems via. Since October 2010, Wine also works on the platform when used as Winelib (which lets developers compile Windows code on Linux using Wine as a library). Some versions of Wine's DLLs are available for Microsoft Windows, but Wine does not fully compile or run on Windows yet. User interface.
Unusable software ('Garbage') The developers of the portions of Wine have continued to implement new features such as to increase game support. Wine can also use native DLLs directly, thus increasing functionality, but then a license for Windows is needed unless the DLLs were distributed with the application itself. Winecfg is a GUI configuration utility included with Wine.
Winecfg makes configuring Wine easier by making it unnecessary to edit the registry directly, although, if needed, this can be done with the included registry editor (similar to Windows ). Wine also includes its own open-source implementations of several other Windows programs, such as, and. (AppDB) is a community-maintained on-line database about which Windows programs works with Wine and how well they work. Backward compatibility Wine ensures good with legacy Windows applications, including those written for. Wine can mimic different Windows versions required for some programs, going as far back as Windows version 2.0. However, Windows 1.x and Windows 2.x support was removed from Wine development version 1.3.12. If DOSBox is installed on the system (see below on ), Wine development version 1.3.12 and later nevertheless show the 'Windows 2.0' option for the Windows version to mimic, but Wine still won't run most Windows 2.0 programs because MS-DOS and Windows functions are not currently integrated.
Backward compatibility in Wine is superior to that of Windows, as newer versions of Windows can force users to upgrade legacy Windows applications. In many cases, Wine can offer better legacy support than newer versions of Windows with 'Compatibility Mode'. Wine can run Windows programs on a 64-bit operating system, which uses an (64-bit) CPU. 64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows cannot run 16-bit Windows programs.
Wine partially supports Windows, and the user can choose which backend to use to manage the console (choices include raw streams, and ). When using the raw streams or curses backends, Windows applications will run in a Unix terminal. 64-bit applications Preliminary support for Windows applications was added to Wine 1.1.10, in December 2008. This requires at least version 4.4, and the Wine developers expect that it will take significant time before support stabilizes. However, as almost all Windows applications are currently available in 32-bit versions, and the 32-bit version of Wine can run on 64-bit platforms, this is seen as a non-issue.
The 64-bit port of Wine also has preliminary support (as of April 2010 ), which allows both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows applications to run inside the same Wine instance. Third-party applications. Running via Wine, version 1.1.42. (The is enabled by using winetricks.
You can see the smooth fonts in the picture when it's viewed at full size.) Some applications require more tweaking than simply installing the application in order to work properly, such as manually configuring Wine to use certain Windows DLLs. The Wine project does not integrate such into the Wine codebase, instead preferring to focus solely on improving Wine's implementation of the Windows API. While this approach focuses Wine development on long-term compatibility, it makes it difficult for users to run applications that require workarounds. Consequently, many third-party applications have been created to ease the use of those applications that don't work out of the box within Wine itself. The Wine wiki maintains a page of current and obsolete third-party applications. Winetricks is a to install some basic components (typically Microsoft DLLs and fonts) and tweak settings required for some applications to run correctly under Wine. It can fully automate the install of a number of apps and games, including applying any needed workarounds.
Winetricks has a. The Wine project will accept bug reports for users of Winetricks, unlike most third-party applications. It is maintained by Wine developer Austin English. is an open Gui for advanced setup of Wine. is an application-management tool for the desktop which adds functionality to Wine. Wine-Doors is an alternative to WineTools which aims to improve upon WineTools' features and extend on the original idea with a more modern design approach. is a utility to install all versions of Internet Explorer, including versions 4 to 6 and version 7 (in beta).
Wineskin is a utility to manage Wine engine versions and create wrappers for. is an application to ease the installation of Windows applications (primarily games). There is also a corresponding Macintosh version called. is a proprietary Wine GUI configuration manager that runs winelib applications. It also supports installation of third-party utilities, installation of applications and games, and the ability to use custom configurations.
Bordeaux currently runs on Linux, FreeBSD, PC-BSD, Solaris, OpenSolaris, and macOS computers. Windows CE Wine will not run programs. There is an ongoing project to port Wine to processors, which may in the future be used as a base for a WineCE running programs. However, there is a proof-of-concept version of Wine that can run Windows CE programs called WineCE.
MS-DOS Early versions of Microsoft Windows run on top of and Windows programs may depend on MS-DOS programs being runnable. Wine does not have good support for MS-DOS, but starting with development version 1.3.12, Wine tries running MS-DOS programs in if DOSBox is available on the system. However, due to a bug, current versions of Wine incorrectly identify Windows 1.x and Windows 2.x programs as MS-DOS programs, attempting to run them in DOSBox (which does not work). Compatibility for Internet Explorer can be installed directly on Wine.
However, it is not recommended to do so, since (there is an alternative with Wine and) at least in the past it crashed or does not work well on recent versions of Wine which had poor support for Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer 5 can be installed on Wine 1.3.9 but crashes frequently. Internet Explorer 5.5 is buggy on Wine 1.3.6, and Internet Explorer 6 refuses to install on Wine 1.6-rc5. Internet Explorer 7 32-bit version does not work very well on 1.5.11, and the 64-bit version does not load web pages on 1.6-rc5. Internet Explorer 8 also crashes constantly on Wine 1.6.
Internet Explorer 9 (both 32-bit and 64-bit ) and 10 cannot be installed. An alternative for installing Internet Explorer directly is to use. However, It is not compatible with the latest versions of Wine, and the development of IEs4Linux is inactive. Other versions of Wine The core Wine development aims at a correct implementation of the Windows API as a whole and has sometimes lagged in some areas of compatibility with certain applications. Direct3D, for example, remained unimplemented until 1998, although newer releases have had an increasingly complete implementation.
CrossOver. Main article: CodeWeavers markets CrossOver specifically for running and other major Windows applications, including some games. CodeWeavers employs to work on Wine and contributes most of its code to the Wine project under the LGPL. CodeWeavers also released a new version called CrossOver Mac for Intel-based computers on 10 January 2007. CrossOver now includes the functionality of both the CrossOver Games and CrossOver Pro lines therefore CrossOver Games and CrossOver Pro are no longer available as single products. CrossOver Games was optimized for running Windows. Unlike CrossOver, it didn't focus on providing the most stable version of Wine.
Instead, experimental features are provided to support newer games. Cedega / WineX. Main article: produced the proprietary Cedega software. Formerly known as WineX, Cedega represented a from the last MIT-licensed version of Wine in 2002.
Much like CrossOver Games, TransGaming's Cedega was targeted towards running Windows video games. On 7 January 2011, TransGaming Technologies announced continued development of Cedega Technology under the GameTree Developer Program.
TransGaming Technologies allowed members to keep using their Cedega ID and password until 28 February 2011. Main article: TransGaming has also produced Cider, a library for Macintoshes. Instead of being an end-user product, Cider (like Winelib) is a allowing developers to adapt their games to run natively on without any changes in source code.
WINE@Etersoft The company Etersoft has been developing a proprietary version of Wine since 2006. WINE@Etersoft supports popular Russian applications (for example, 1C:Enterprise by ). For 2010, Etersoft was going to issue WINE@Etersoft CAD, which is oriented towards such as, and. Main article: Darwine is a port of the Wine libraries to and to macOS for both the PowerPC and Intel x86 architectures. All patches for x86 version were merged back into the main branch of Wine in 2009. Development on the PPC version was abandoned.
Mike Kronenberg previously created the WineHelper for Darwine to add a GUI and macOS style app for interacting with Wine, which was later replaced by WineBottler. Darwine now provides macOS compatible packages compiled from the Wine repository. Wine for Android.
WINE running on Android On 3 February 2013 at the FOSDEM talk in Brussels, demonstrated an early demo of Wine running on Google's operating system. Experimental builds of WINE for Android were released in late 2017. Pipelight/wine-compholio The Pipelight Team has produced a custom version of Wine that acts as a for Windows NPAPI plugins within Linux browsers. This tool permits Linux users to run, the Windows version of, and the, along with a variety of other NPAPI plugins. The project provides an extensive set of patches against the upstream Wine project, some of which occasionally get approved and added to upstream Wine. Other projects using Wine source code Other projects using Wine source code include:., a project to write an operating system compatible with versions 5.x and up (which includes and its successors) down to the level. ReactOS uses Wine source code considerably, but because of architectural differences, ReactOS code (such as dlls written specifically for it, like ntdll, user32, kernel32, gdi32, and advapi) is not generally reused in Wine.
In July 2009, Aleksey Bragin, the ReactOS project lead, started a new ReactOS branch called, and it was officially announced in January 2010. Arwinss is an alternative implementation of the core Win32 components, and uses mostly unchanged versions of Wine's user32.dll and gdi32.dll. WineBottler, a wrapper around Wine in the form of a normal Mac Application. Manages multiple wine configurations for different programs in the form of 'bottles.' . Wineskin, an open source Wine GUI configuration manager for.
Wineskin creates a wrapper around Wine in the form of a normal Mac Application. The wrapper can also be used to make a distributable 'port' of software., a project to run Win32 binaries on or convert them to OS/2 native format. The project also provides the Odin32 API to compile Win32 programs for OS/2., a project attempting to allow any program designed for any operating system to be run without the need to actually install any other operating system., a proprietary product that uses some Wine code for its DirectX handling., a hypervisor that uses some Wine code for its Direct3D handling., a commercial package of Wine for macOS that includes a GUI for adding and managing applications and virtual machines.
Reception The Wine project has received a number of technical and philosophical complaints and concerns over the years. Security Because of Wine's ability to run Windows binary code, concerns have been raised over native Windows viruses and malware affecting Unix-like operating systems. Wine can run most malware, but programs running in Wine are confined to the current user's privileges, restricting some undesirable consequences.
For this reason the developers of Wine recommend never running it as the. Malware research software such as runs Wine on Linux in a, to keep the malware completely isolated from the host system. Another security concern is when the implemented specifications are ill-designed and allow for security compromise. Because Wine implements these specs, it will also implement any security vulnerabilities they contain.
Native Unix applications A common concern about Wine is that its existence means that vendors are less likely to write native Linux, macOS, and BSD applications. As an example of this, it is worth considering IBM's 1994 operating system,.
An article describes the weaknesses of OS/2 which killed it, the first one being: OS/2 offered excellent compatibility with DOS and Windows 3.1 applications. No, this is not an error. El malestar de la cultura amorrortu pdf.
Many application vendors argued that by developing a DOS or Windows app, they would reach the OS/2 market in addition to DOS/Windows markets and they didn't develop native OS/2 applications. The Wine project itself responds to these complaints on one of its pages: For most people there remain a handful of programs locking them in to Windows. It's obvious there will never be a Microsoft Office ported to Linux, however older versions of programs like TurboTax won't be ported either. Similarly, there are tens of thousands of games and internal corporate applications which will never be ported. If you want to use Linux and rely on any legacy Windows application, something like Wine is essential.
Wine makes Linux more useful and allows for millions of users to switch who couldn't otherwise. This greatly raises Linux marketshare, drawing more commercial and community developers to Linux. Also, the Wine Wiki page claims that Wine can help break the for: This brings us to the chicken and egg issue of Linux on the desktop. Until Linux can provide equivalents for the above applications, its market share on the desktop will stagnate. But until the market share of Linux on the desktop rises, no vendor will develop applications for Linux.
How does one break this vicious circle? Again, Wine can provide an answer. By letting users reuse the Windows applications they have invested time and money in, Wine dramatically lowers the barrier that prevents users from switching to Linux. This then makes it possible for Linux to take off on the desktop, which increases its market share in that segment. In turn, this makes it viable for companies to produce Linux versions of their applications, and for new products to come out just for the Linux market. This reasoning could be dismissed easily if Wine was only capable of running Solitaire.
However, now it can run Microsoft Office, multimedia applications such as QuickTime and Windows Media Player, and even games such as Max Payne or Unreal Tournament 3. Almost any other complex application can be made to run well given a bit of time.
And each time that work is done to add one application to this list, many other applications benefit from this work and become usable too. Have a look at our Application Database to get an idea on what can be run under Wine. The use of Wine for gaming has proved specifically controversial in the Linux community, as some feel it is preventing, or at least hindering, the further growth of native on the platform. Microsoft has not made public statements about Wine. However, the software will block updates to Microsoft applications running in Wine. On February 16, 2005, Ivan Leo Puoti discovered that Microsoft had started checking the for the Wine configuration key and would block the Windows Update for any component. As Puoti noted, 'It's also the first time Microsoft acknowledges the existence of Wine.'
