speaking of something like CodeWeavers/WINE software, which runs some
Windows software but not actually Windows. (And runs only some of it, I'd
add.) Could you share more details on this subject? I've been writing about
Linux for several years and am not aware of anyone running Windows VMs in
Linux. Have you implemented this technology, or do you know anyone who has?
I'd be very interested in talking to them; I'm working on a story about Red
Hat and SuSE talking about adding partitioning technology in software geared
for the 2.8 kernel timeframe."
