Wine
The Wine project has working implementations of the Direct3D 8, 9 and 10 APIs (they are, as of 23 July 2012, 100%, 78% and 79% complete respectively). Wine's implementation can also be on Windows under certain conditions. Work on implementing Direct3D 10 began in Wine 1.1.7, using OpenGL via WGL.

Famous quotes containing the word wine:
“Limbo is the place. In Limbo one has natural happiness without the beatific vision; no harps; no communal order; but wine and conversation and imperfect, various humanity. Limbo for the unbaptized, for the pious heathen, the sincere sceptic.”
—Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
“Once in this wine the summer blood
Knocked in the flesh that decked the vine,
Once in this bread
The oat was merry in the wind;
Man broke the sun, pulled the wind down.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“Food probably has a very great influence on the condition of men. Wine exercises a more visible influence, food does it more slowly but perhaps just as surely. Who knows if a well-prepared soup was not responsible for the pneumatic pump or a poor one for a war?”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
