WABI development was discontinued in December 1997:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Application_Binary_Interface

It's been replaced by the WINE API (and its commercial variants Cedega
and CrossOver) and virtualization software like VMWare and Qemu.
Personally, I use VMWare to run Windows on top of Ubuntu Linux, and WINE
to run a few select applications which work okay with WINE. For further
information, links to these projects follow:
