WineConf 2005 Sets Deadline for Wine 0.9
IamTheRealMike writes "As WineConf 2005 took place last weekend, the Wine developers discussed the project's direction and future. A new deadline of September 30th for the 0.9 release was set by Alexandre Julliard -- the release promises to bring an end to the system of monthly snapshots and provide a new focus on ease of use and stability. A new GPLd application regression testing tool called CXTest was demoed, as was some of the great Direct3D work being done lately. Finally the CEO of Gupta gave a talk. Gupta have ported their 4GL RAD tools to Linux by working with Codeweavers (who sponsored the event), and their experiences were documented in a fascinating presentation. Overall: big thumbs up, but it's not obvious enough that there's enterprise-level support available for Wine. Check out the group photo and the new Wiki!"
Debain-women CREATED DEBIAN!
Perhaps you stupid fems would do well learning to spell before trying to compete in a mans world? Well, that is, if you can call linux geeks "men".
All the money being put into wine should be spent on giving linux the push it needs to entice corporations to look past their assholes when it comes to viewing market demand.
Just because there are significantly less Linux users than Windows and Mac users does not mean that there isn't a viable demand for a native port. Also at that, it would give people looking at Linux as a primary OS the final reason to make the switch.
I guess I'm still bitter about Disney funding Wine to get Photoshop to run.
