+  <description>
+    <p>
+      Wine (originally an acronym for "Wine Is Not an Emulator") is a compatibility
+      layer capable of running Windows applications on several POSIX-compliant
+      operating systems, such as Linux, Mac OSX, &amp; BSD. Instead of simulating
+      internal Windows logic like a virtual machine or emulator, Wine translates
+      Windows API calls into POSIX calls on-the-fly, eliminating the performance
+      and memory penalties of other methods and allowing you to cleanly integrate
+      Windows applications into your desktop.
