Will Linux For Windows Change The World?

Posted by timothy on from the making-inroads dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A month ago, a trial version of a little-known Linux application called 'CoLinux' was released that is the first working free and open source method for optimally running Linux on Microsoft Windows natively. It's the work of a 21-year-old Israeli computer science student and some Japanese open source programmers; in Israel, analysts are already saying it could help transform the software world." (CoLinux is short for Cooperative Linux; we mentioned this project in January as well.)

    Much more money in PC games though I'm afraid. And as always, money talks.

    Linux isn't about money, it's about high quality, free software.
