![]() Our complete office is runing on Linux and we only have IBM Lotus Notes runing on Wine and it run’s without any problems. Heck I’ll buy 5 of ’em, just get me my HaloPC! I for one, will purchase a winex license the day they get my beloved HaloPC to run. To declare a program is infereor do to the platform it was created for, is merely excessive pride. ![]() I think that we need to be a little more realistic. How about ones that are some what affiliated with MS? Nope. How many of you still have a great 5+ year old game that isn’t even sold anymore? Will it be ported? Nope. In *most* cases a program will not be ported. Those programs don’t taint Nix with “windowsness.” A program is a program! The user doesen’t give a rat’s behind if the program was written for windows, he/she just cares if it runs well. Windows programs aren’t the reason people leave windows. It doesn’t give Unix it’s own bsods, or makes you run windows explorer. If wine emulates anything, it emulates the windows api. What realy pisses me off is when people say how wine emulates windows, and how you move to Nix to get away from that. ![]() Like all other car analogies, I know this one stinks…. When enough stations have them, why would one still buy ‘regular’ cars? Additionally, all those hectolitres of gazoline you bought during the Y2K scare are not lost and can also be used by your car of the future. The hope is that when gas stations see the increasing number of electrical cars flocking to those stations with both gas AND electricity they will also start installing electrical chargers. This engine is there to tide you over till you find a recharging station. It has an electical motor, but also has a small combustion engine. ![]() Now, a Linux PC with Wine is a bit like a hybrid car…. However, finding a recharging station is very hard: there are not enough electric cars to create the demand to make rechargers economically valid so the gas stations only sell gas. (OK, unlike a REAL electical car, this one is cheaper than the gas guzlers) Everyone has one (or two)Ī Linux (or *BSD) PC is like an electric powered car: silent, environmently friendly, in short the future. A Windows PC is like a car with an internal combustion engine: obnoxious, loud, bad for the environment but all over the place. ![]()
