CodeWeavers Release Server Version Of CrossOver

Posted by Hemos on from the break-on-through-to-the-other-side dept.

Jeremy White writes: CodeWeavers has just launched the Server Edition of CrossOver Office. Server Edition provides Windows applications like Microsoft Office to thin clients and previously unreachable platforms like Solaris/SPARC. It's designed to compete directly with Citrix and Windows Terminal Server solutions, primarily on price (watch that TCO drop, baby). The most delicious irony will come when we release a Windows client, and we start serving Windows applications to a Windows desktop through a Linux server.""

    So we've got non-free software built on top of free software in order to serve up non-free software from a company that wishes to destroy free software.

    I'm so confused. Can't they all just wear black hats or white hats so I know which ones are the bad guys and which are the good guys?

    I thought this had something to do with John Edward..like maybe if I ran this, my server would channel my old Commodore 64.
