Wine Acknowledgements 
Wine is the end result of many hundreds of hrs of perform by hundreds of talented
folks. Development hence far continues to be going on for fifteen years and we've witnessed quite a cast of characters arrive and go. A lot of people have left their mark on Wine through the years and for that we'd like to say thanks.
 
Wine's success can be directly attributable for the benevolence of commercial improvement. A lot of organizations have compensated builders to expend time operating on Wine and they've graciously provided that work
back to the local community. Not very numerous no cost computer software assignments are fortunate
ample to get paid workers tackling hard difficulties.. we are.
 CodeWeavers CodeWeavers' mission is usually to make Linux a Windows® -compatible operating system. To that end, they've hired some of the best talent in the Wine community. In fact, a lot of of the large jobs recently undertaken by Wine have started as initiatives by CodeWeavers. Some of the different areas they've worked on include TrueType fonts support, internationalization and Unicode, Microsoft Installer support, DCOM support, DLL separation, and gazillions of bug fixes. In 2004 CodeWeavers hosted WineConf 2004 at their offices in St. Paul, Minnesota. Corel Corel dedicated a team of paid engineers to the Wine project in 1999. They focused on adding functionality to Wine that let Corel applications, such as WordPerfect, CorelDRAW,
Microsoft Office Pro Plus, and Quattro Pro run on Linux and be ported as native Linux applications. In the past, Corel had relied on conventional porting techniques to move some of its applications (Corel WordPerfect 8) to Linux. This provided a fast way to get these applications to Linux, but meant that porting had to be repeated with each new version. Improving Wine and compiling with Winelib allowed them to consolidate codebases. While Corel ultimately moved on to other projects,
Microsoft Office Pro Plus 2007, they definitely had a positive effect on Wine. Macadamian Macadamian was subcontracted by Corel to improve several areas of Wine. For two a long time engineers spent time improving Wine's windowing, controls and dialogs. ReactOS Wine is at the heart of ReactOS' Win32 support. Initial operate improved Wine's portability by cleaning things up so MinGW could compile it. From there, a considerable amount of effort was spent improving Wine's shell32 infrastructure and various controls. The ReactOS team is also responsible for the regedit and task manager utilities. TransGaming Improvement efforts at TransGaming,
Office 2010 Pro, mostly in 2002,
Windows 7 64 Bit, improved several critical areas of Wine. Changes to DCOM,
Microsoft Office 2010 Professional, DirectDraw and 2D graphics support helped new types of programs to install. Later, the widl utility was donated to act as a MIDL replacement. ...And a solid of hundreds If you haven't witnessed the Who's Who list, check that out for a list of major contributors. In addition, the following individuals have spent a considerable amount of time and effort improving Wine. Also note, contributions to "misc" shouldn't be taken lightly. In most cases those folks have submitted ample patches that you can't nail down any particular area of focus. James	Abbatiello	misc	1999-2001
