And now it's time for something you have been waiting for
a long, loooong time:
Macrosoft proudly presents:
WINUX, the one and only WINDOWS(TM)-Emulator for Linux.
WINUX has been tested on a lot of hardware platforms,
a lot of (secret) beta-testing went along, and so we are
now able to release a first pre-gamma-version to the public.
HIGHLIGHTS:
- runs most Windows clients out of the box, but still has some
problems with most Microsoft applications (undocumented
features of Windows are not yet supported).
Working clients include:
Corel Draw 4.0, AmiPro (Professional Edition),
Borland ++C for Windows, Lotus 4-5-6...
- Doubles speed by using GNU-C instead of Microsoft C 7.0.
(Assembly version is in the pipeline)
- Supports all known graphic cards, especially the brand new
IBM-MDA-video-adapters.
- Super-easy-installation. All you have to do is boot the first disk.
Everything else is menu-driven.
- Hole system fits on only ten 3.5-disks, including all clients
of the original WINDOWS-distribution.
- For your leisure, there is a stripped version of WING-Commander
as screen-saver (only dog fights, no story).
And now for the most important part:
WINUX is available for FREE at
