Crystal Ball Sunday #5: Operating System Interoperability
,----[ Quote ]
| Developers and integrators are going to begin focusing considerable effort on
| the interoperability of Windows, Linux, and possibly even Mac OS
| applications. Interoperability between operating systems and applications
| seems to be a thing of great interest amongst would-be corporate adopters of
| Linux and open source technologies.

3 Ways to Try Out Linux, For a Windows User
,----[ Quote ]
| One of the arguments I often hear from people who are trying to use linux for
| the first time is that they are not sure if they can switch back to their
| original choice of OS (usually windows), if they are not satisfied with their
| experience with linux. These are usually the people who are not as tech savy
| or previously had bad experience while trying to install linux which resulted
| in destroying their windows installation. With each iteration of windows OS
| Microsoft has made it less friendlier for linux to be installed along with
| windows.

Running a GNU/Linux desktop on the web with Ulteo
,----[ Quote ]
| Ulteo is a brave, innovative, useful and interesting concept. It may be
| unique in terms of the feature mix but it is possible to put together
| individual packages to mimic them. For the power user who is familiar with
| protocols and the command line this is meat and drink but for the average
| user Ulteo packages them altogether in one easy GUI via a web browser. There
| is of course always a danger that in striving to be a jack of all trades you
| end up being the master of none but I think that Ulteo has done enough, even
| at this relatively early stage, to merit inclusion in every user’s toolkit. I
| will certainly be watching it with interest for future developments.

Ulteo Virtual Desktop: Letting Linux Do Windows
,----[ Quote ]
| While Test Center reviewers with Linux knowledge didn't really see the
| usefulness of the application, others with limited familiarity were wowed by
| it. The biggest value of the Ulteo Virtual Desktop is in letting newcomers to
| Linux get acquainted with it in a comfortable, Windows environment. All of
| the included applications are integrated seamlessly, with easy access to the
| Desktop and My Documents folders, as well as network connectivity. Similar to
| the KDE layout, the Ulteo Virtual Desktop's interface is easy to navigate and
| the included array of graphics viewers and editors, multimedia players,
| office-based programs, and utilities are intuitive to those unfamiliar with
| them. Mozilla's FireFox Web browser and ThunderBird mail client are the
| default, as is the Kopete IM client.
|
| Considering that this is not even a version 1 beta, we have high hopes for
| Ulteo Virtual Desktop. It allows Linux novices to dip their toes into the
| water without any fear, and lets Linux pros use their favorite applications
| when they are forced to be in a Windows environment.

Run Native Linux Applications in Windows Vista - Via Ulteo Virtual Desktop
,----[ Quote ]
| Binaries tailored specifically to the open source Linux operating system can
| coexist on the same desktop with Windows Vista and Windows XP programs via
| Ulteo Virtual Desktop. Essentially, the
| promise of the Ulteo Virtual Desktop is to deliver Linux applications on
| Windows via the Ulteo panel. The virtualized environment will permit end
| users to run native Linux solutions right on the Windows Vista desktop, and
| integration complete down to the level of sharing the Windows Aero graphical
| user interface.
