    Red, red wine, stay close to Tux. Aha. So, here be a review of WINE 3.0, the latest major release of the open-source software compatibility layer for Windows applications on UNIX-like operating systems, including setup, largely unsuccessful testing with SketchUp, Microsoft Office 2013 and Live for Speed, other observations, and more. Have fun.

    Thanks.
    The idea of software compatibility layer never convinced me; it's, well, a workaround. Not elegant. Software should be native.
