More Light Shed on Project David

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the whats-going-on-here dept.

Sun writes "Flexbeta.net received from Specops Labs screenshots "proving" that project David (previously covered here) is a real thing. The demo.... Office 2000 install. This is something both Wine and CrossOver Office know how to do for quite some time. In a discussion on wine-devel some people noticed evidence inside the screenshots that project David is a CrossOver Office ripoff."

    This is news? Well, there are many ways to run Microsoft Office on Linux. Wine is great. It works. Sometimes. Everyone has seen it before. It's all just mediahype and no meat.

    This is the same lame attempt that Lindows (or what's it called today) tried and failed miserably.
