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 ;)

    But I think some people missed the whole point. Have you ever worked with Foxpro, or it's B@STARD CLONE, Visual? Now don't get me wrong, I don't build DB's for a living, but I do support PC's, and VFP sucks! So the real question here is Why would you??

    It means that CmdrTaco carefully avoids to read his own web site. I guess it speaks volume about what he thinks of the rest of us. :-)
