Kamoo e sebetsang kateng
Sepheo sa morero oa Veine ke ho hlahisa "mocheso oa phetolelo" bakeng sa Linux le lisebelisoa tse ling tse sebetsang tse sebetsang tsa POSIX tse nolofalletsang basebedisi ho qalisa mekhoa ea Microsoft Windows ea mekhoa ea litsamaiso tsena .
Lera lena la phetolelo ke sephutheloana sa software se "emolang" Microsoft Windows API ( Interface Programming Application ), empa bahlahlobisisi ba hatisa hore hase moemeli ka kutloisiso ea hore e eketsa lisebelisoa tse eketsehileng tsa software holimo ho tsamaiso ea tlhahiso ea matsoalloa, e leng e ne e tla eketsa mohopolo le ho bala holimo le ho ama ts'ebetsong.
Ho e-na le hoo veine e fana ka mefuta e meng ea DDLs (Dynamic Link Libraries) e hlokahalang ho tsamaisa likopo. Tsena ke lisebelisuoa tsa tlhaho tsa software tseo, ho itšetlehile ka ts'ebetsong ea tsona, e ka ba e sebetsang hantle kapa e sebetsang hantle ho feta balekane ba bona ba Windows. Ke kahoo mefuta e meng ea MS Windows e sebetsang ka potlako ho Linux ho feta ka Windows.
Sehlopha sa nts'etsopele ea Veine se entse tsoelo-pele e kholo ho finyella sepheo sa ho thusa ba sebelisang ho qalisa mananeo a Windows ho Linux. Tsela e 'ngoe ea ho lekanya tsoelo-pele eo ke ho bala lenane la mananeo a' nileng a lekoa. Wine Wine Database Database e na le litlaleho tse fetang 8500. Hase kaofela ha tsona li sebetsang ka mokhoa o phethahetseng, empa lipapatso tsa Windows tse tloaelehileng li sebelisoa hantle, tse kang liphutheloana le lipapali tse latelang: Microsoft Office 97, 2000, 2003, le XP, Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Microsoft Project, Microsoft Visio, Adobe Photoshop, Quicken, Quicktime, iTunes, Windows Media Player 6.4, Lotus Notes 5.0 le 6.5.1, Silkroad Online Inthaneteng, Half-Life 2 Retail, Half-Life Counter-Strike 1.6 le Ntoa ea Ntoa 1942 1.6.
Ka mor'a ho kenya Veine, li-Windows li ka kenngoa ka ho beha CD ka har'a drive ea CD, ho bula fensetere ea shell, ho ea ho sengoliloeng sa CD se nang le mokhoa oa ho kenya, le ho kenya "wine setup.exe", haeba setup.exe e le lenaneo la ho kenya .
Ha o hlahisa mananeo ho Veine, moqapi a ka khetha pakeng tsa "mode-in-a-box" mode le lifensetere tse tsoakiloeng. Veine e tšehetsa lipapali tsa DirectX le OpenGL. Tšehetso ea Direct3D e lekane. Hape ho na le API ea veine e lumellang ba-program ho ngolla software e tsamaeang ke mohloli le binary e lumellanang le Win32 code.
Morero ona o qalile ka 1993 ka sepheo sa ho tsamaisa mananeo a Windows 3.1 ho Linux. Ka mor'a moo, liphetolelo tsa mekhoa e meng ea Unix ea ts'ebetso e 'nile ea ntlafatsoa. Mohokahanyi oa pele oa morero, Bob Amstadt, o ile a fana ka morero ona ho Alexandre Julliard selemo hamorao. Alexandre e 'nile ea etella pele boiteko ba ntshetsopele ho tloha ka nako eo.
