Corel Linux to Access and Run Windows Apps

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the .exe's-from-the-dark-side dept.

rawlink writes "Corel has announced that they are working w/ GraphOn to support their Bridges client software on Corel Linux. This will allow the Linux client to access Windows apps over a network connection, much the same way that Citrix does." I hope this won't be too expensive; it could instantly enlighten the minds of a lot of people wondering what the next OS for their LAN should be...

  1. Windows Terminal Server by Tenement · · Score: 5
    To my memory the Windows Terminal Server is based (and licensed) off of (by) Citrix's server side windowing technologies.

    If you surf over to Citrix's Web Site you'll notice that there already is a linux client for this server.

    Simply put, if you have a WinNT TSE (Terminal Server Edition) Server or a Windows 2000 Server you'll already have access to this with native Microsoft enhancements.

    With thanks

  2. GraphOn and Patents by Ledge+Kindred · · Score: 5
    Remember that GraphOn is that company that claims to have a patent on displaying Windows apps over X.

    Showing support for a company that goes for outrageously stupid patent things is hardly something I'd want to get excited about.
