ben_ writes "According to this article on inq7.net, a Philippines company called SpecOps has revealed their Project David, a middleware layer that solves the problem Wine has been working at for years and will "enable all major Microsoft Windows applications to run on the free and open source Linux OS". Further (and more sceptical) analysis at Linux Electrons." I'm with Linux Electrons on this; as nice as it sounds, the information about David comes via Press Release which as we all know are founts of dependability *cough*.

    That should be sKeptical. Dammit, of all the blunders that are becomming common usage this one drives me insane. It's because I read it with only one consonant at the beginning - an S sound, so it sounds like something having to do with a tank full of crap.
