It does have that goal. But that can't be realized without good driver support. The kernel team's efforts are heroic, truly, but we need the vendors for this.
New business method: for a one-time fee do all-inclusive migrations to FLOSS solutions of the clients choice, along with open WINE patches for their indispensable windows apps. Something like a Stallmanized Crossover Office with a much more personal approach.
I'm calling The Cisco Kid sonny, sonny. That's your name, right? Also, I was chiding you for calling Steve Jobs the inventor of the Sun keyboard layout. Correct me if I'm wrong, of course, but I doubt it.;)
Well, I've had issues with Chrome being unresponsive, but I think its XP's swappieness that fucks it up, because it runs single pages beautifully. Sadly, I had to get back to Firefox. Maybe I'll try Chrome in WINE when I get around to installing a free-as-in-speech *NIX on this old laptop.
Have you tried something meant to run on old hardware, like Puppy/DSL? Also, for real old and/or quirky hardware, NetBSD was, is, and forever will be the solution.

Can you even theoretically run two X11 instances on one machine? Won't they make a cat fight or something?
At least M$ got one thing right - it's called a "Advanced" button. Wonder when the KDE team will catch up...
That's nice and all, but is there a technical reason they can't agree on the damned toolkit?
How much does M$ pay you per post?

There is a welder in there somewhere...

Repeat after me:
WINE is not an emulator
I love obscure references as much as the next guy, but WTH was that?
Might as well get a server system, then.
This says otherwise.
I've got just the thing for you.
I run AROS on a G4, you insensitive clod!
Depends on how the system is set up. User mode graphics don't do wonder for responsiveness, I gotta tell 'ya.
<OT> Also, OS/2(eComStation) has much more advanced multitasking support than the other two. </OT>
The only way we are gonna blow out this memetic virus is with an AK-47, sadly.
What's up with the MediaWiki markup?
What's really funny is that you might be right.

Let me just say this:

FreeDOS?
How does a browser's SMP support affect network stability? I'm curious.

Don't know 'bout him, but I always do...

IOW, everybody today is reinventing the Amiga (Hypertransport/CPU cards/AMD anyone?).
