Catching up with Wine

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the now-isn't-that-strange dept.

An anonymous reader writes "TransGaming's announcement of the availability of WineX 3.0 got a lot of pixel dust, but that wasn't the only recent news about WINE. The Microsoft monopoly also reached out to touch the project when Whil Hentzen, a leading proponent of Visual FoxPro (VFP) development on Linux, was contacted by an Microsoft manager and told it was a violation of the VFP EULA to run it on Linux." I guess thats one way to stop emulation. update Oh well, its a dupe. Whatever, it gives people something to complain about I guess ;)

  2. Slashdot & Microsoft - something wrong? by jkrise · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Slashdot articles having anything to do with MS have been heavily..well, slashdotted. Coupla' days back, I posted something to the Oregon bill stuff, and within 5 minutes, there was a databse crash at Slashdot...took a whole hour before the site was up, and then way too slow, as well.\

    Interestingly, my post which was a reply to a 'Good' post, mostly made of styrofoam peanuts, got relegated 5 pages down, by clever manipulative modding! Getting very curious these days. Should be interesting to see how long this article holds up.

  3. CrossOver Office 2.0 Ships by hendridm · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I just popped over the the CodeWeavers site and saw CrossOver Office 2.0.0 Ships today also. Changelog.

    Still no FrontPage or Dreamweaver support, though. :(
