Re: Review: Win4Lin Puts Windows on Linux Desktop
by J. Bacon on Wednesday November 01, @12:42PM

Thanks for the valuable info. One more item that I think would have been useful is the history of win4lin. Win4lin is actually a port-in-progress of a well-established product called SCO Merge, which has been running under SCO Openerver for years, and more recently under UnixWare 7. I think it's valuable to know that it was originally developed to run on a 486, hence the strong performance compared to VMware, which was developed on much faster hardware. We run Merge on a UnixWare 7 machine, and it's a very reliable, full-featured product, which has saved us a bundle in PC hardware, maintenance, and desktop space. Win4lin isn't quite complete yet, but I'm hopeful that it will catch up within the coming year so we can add the same capability to our Linux machines.
