Help Manual Suggestions wanted

In short (plain English explanation):

Quote:Wine application is a compatibility layer capable of running many Windows programs in Linux.


A bit more descriptive: 

Quote:Wine application is a compatibility layer capable of running many Windows programs in Linux. Software programs are designed for different operating systems, and most won't work on systems that they weren't designed for.

Windows programs won't natively run in Linux because they contain instructions that the system can't understand until they're translated by the Windows environment. In that same way, Linux programs won't run under the Windows operating system because Windows is unable to interpret all of their instructions.

Through Wine's compatibility layer, when a Windows program tries to perform a function that Linux doesn't normally understand, Wine will translate that program's instruction into one supported by Linux.


I think that's plain enough, and boldly describes what it is and what it does.

Sorry for seeming stupid and preferring Linux - I just don't know any better.
