Topic:  Running Windows Applications in Linux

Presenter:  Ira Krakow - ikrakow_1999 yahoo com

Summary:  An overview of Wine, which enables Windows applications to  
run in Linux, and Winelib, which enables Windows application sources  
to compile and run on Linux

Abstract:

     Ira discusses Wine and Winelib, which make it possible to run  
some Windows applications on Linux, and to more easily port  
applications that were originally written for a Windows platform.  
He'll also touch on other projects that can help an enterprise  
overcome its Windows dependencies, such as ReactOS (the open source  
port of Windows NT), MinGW (the port of GCC for Windows programs),  
and Mono (essentially, Wine for .NET and C#). Ira is currently co- 
authoring a book for Prentice-Hall, on Wine and Winelib; his co- 
author is Brian Vincent.
