Wine 1.0 is coming out some time from now, but like you could read in my previous post, there are some killer apps you can run with it now. After my succes on getting iTunes running on Ubuntu 8.04 and inspired by a post on http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com where Defcon succeeded in getting GTA Vice City to run using Wine, I managed to install and play GTA San Andreas. Now it's only a matter of time for GTA IV. Here is what I did.

I managed to get Itunes 7.3.0.54 running on Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron using wine 0.9.59 . First I setup Pulse Audio Server following this tutorial I found on ubuntuforums.org : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=776739 . This will take care of a bug that is responsible for Ubuntu Hardy Heron not being able to play sound simultaneously from different applications, after the installation. Itunes doesn't need a introduction.
