The Wine Project has announced that the latest version of their software now includes full support for running Windows applications on the Mono runtime in addition to the .NET Framework. This expands the software’s capabilities beyond its original focus on supporting Windows applications on Linux and macOS.
Users who already have Microsoft .NET Framework will be able to run applications on Mono without having to install additional components. This new feature will potentially expand the number of applications that can be run on Wine on Windows.
- This update allows users to avoid the cost of purchasing software licenses for Windows, while still being able to run important applications.
- Users can take advantage of the Wine Project’s compatibility layer to run legacy Windows applications on modern versions of Windows or other operating systems.
This development is helpful in making it possible for users to run a broad range of applications on a single operating system, reducing the need for multiple devices or virtualization.
