The Konus-Wind gamma-ray burst instrument on board the GGS-Wind spacecraft has operated flawlessly since launch in November 1994. The orbit of Wind, well beyond the magnetosphere and with no Earth occultation, provides a stable background for the continuous monitoring of gamma-ray bursts, as well as for X-ray transients such as the recent Bursting Pulsar. The two detectors viewing the ecliptic hemispheres have moderate energy resolution in the range from 10 keV to 10 MeV and time resolution down to 2 ms, permitting their use in the interplanetary network, such as for the event of 970228. A comprehensive data base has been obtained in which more than 750 gamma-ray bursts have been observed in the last three years. A brief review of the observations and a summary of the results are presented.
