I just wanted to know why Zorin 15 doesn't come with Wine pre installed. I'm pretty sure it had come come with Wine pre installed in its previous release.
Anyway, is there any way I can download Wine in Zorin OS 15?

Team Zorin has made the decision not to include WINE any more. They are aiming to capture the Corporate market and WINE can reduce the security of your system. If you need to install WINE:

1. From the Software Channel install 'Synaptic Package Manager'

2. Search for Wine in Synaptic's search box - then install Wine 4.0 - the Software Channel only has 3. I will post back some more information once I am back in Zorin (writing this from my Elive 3.0.6 stable install on Firefox ESR. ;) :D
