That’s right, we are talking here about Wine Staging 2.0 RC5, which comes hot on the heels of Wine 2.0 RC5 to add numerous goodies for those who want to run Windows apps and games on their Linux computers. Among these, we can mention initial support for Mandatory Integrity Control and a bunch of extra PE loader improvements to allow it to support loading of packed executables with truncated headers, as well as on-the-fly section decompression.
