New Competition For CodeWeavers: Aclerex

Posted by Hemos on from the competing-together dept.

Shisha writes "Linux Planet is running a story about a new Wine offspring. Basically the Canadian company Transgaming decided, that their version of Wine, WineX, is good not only for running games, but for other Windows programs too. So why not try to sell it? For marketing reasons they're selling it to corporations under the AclereX name. Their website has a datasheet with more details about what they are actually offering. Unlike CodeWeavers, they don't seem to be targeting individuals at all, they'd rather sell to corporations. So no downloads available, sorry. Still it could speed up Wine developement, which is always good. Wine Weekly News discusses some of the reactions of the original Wine authors."

    If you have no intention of running any windows programs DO NOT get this distro, try Redhat ;)

    Jesus warned us about this ~2000 years ago:

    John 5: 37-38
    And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the new wine will burst the skins, the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, new wine must be poured into new wineskins.

    So you see, they can't contribute their progress to the free version of WINE.
