Massive binary systems are excellent laboratories for studying stellar winds. The powerful collision of the winds unleashes a broad spectrum of emission revealing the interesting physics of high Mach number shocks, including the acceleration of a small proportion of particles to relativistic energies. The wind-wind collision is also useful for probing the underlying wind and stellar parameters. This paper reviews our current understanding of the dynamics of such systems and models of (predominantly) the non-thermal emission, finishing with a brief note on possible future advances.
