Hats off to the Wine team for all the amazing work! Myself and I'm sure many others wouldn't be able to switch to Linux without you. Thank you!

  > 16-bit applications are supported in the new WoW64 mode. I’d like to thank them for this, specifically! I had some old applications that weren’t working in the old WoW mode.
