For those using the development builds of Wine, not much will be different in Wine 2.0 since you're up to date, but for those sticking with stable builds of Wine the 2.0 release will be pretty big of course.

I imagine most people are looking forward to DirectX 11, which likely won't be ready until a much later version of Wine. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.
