Ask About Running Windows Software in Linux

Posted by Roblimo on from the bridge-over-troubled-waters dept.

There have been recent reports about programs from Israel, Canada, and The Philippines that let you run Windows software in Linux. Are they really new? Can they succeed? Is this whole effort worth the time and trouble going into it? CodeWeavers CEO and Wine maven Jeremy White ought to know, since he's been working to bring Windows software to Linux users for many years -- with quite a bit of success. We'll forward 10 - 12 of the highest moderated questions posted here to Jeremy, and run his answers as soon as we get them back.

    This is so stupid. Why do people even bother posting things like this.

    Why not just give up on life and never attempt to improve anything, right? Lame...
