CodeWeavers To Release CrossOver For Android To Run Windows Programs

Posted by samzenpus on Monday October 5, 2015 @07:58AM from the playing-together dept.

An anonymous reader writes: For the better part of three years there has been talk about running Wine on Android to bring Windows x86 programs to Android phones/tablets, and it's going to become a reality. CodeWeavers is planning to release CrossOver For Android before the end of the year. This will allow native Windows binaries to run on Android, but will be limited to Android-x86 due to struggles in emulating x86 Windows code on ARM. The tech preview will be free and once published the open-source patches will be published for Wine.

Why run LUDDITE programs on App Apper OSes?! by Anonymous Coward · 2015-10-05 08:01 · Score: 0, Informative

LUDDITE programs are shitty and lame. Modern app appers know that only APPS are appy enough to app apps!

Apps!

Codeweavers has a very strong business focus, and most of the innovations are based on client requests.
You can rest assured that, if they developed it, they already have a client willing to pay for it. Jeremy White is no fool.
