| UMPCs (Ultra Mobile PCs) and there’s also the Linux-fueled Nokia N800 tablet
| for a total of nine Linux systems. There are also seven Mac models on the
| list, topped by the Apple MacBook MB403LL/A 13.3-inch; Laptop. Finally,
| beneath almost all the Linux PCs and all of the Macs, you’ll find four, count

The making of Wine (how to make Windows apps merrier with Linux)
,----[ Quote ]
| Flash forward to today. It's been the better part of a decade and Microsoft
| has not been toppled by anyone's reckoning. However it did release Vista -
| perhaps the most hated Windows operating system of all time (though it's hard
| to beat Windows ME on that count). Enterprises badly want alternatives to
| Windows. Desktop Linux has come a long way since 1999, too. and (who knew?)
| the Mac has become the ultra chic, must-have PC. The enterprise has its
| alternatives - if it can only get those mission critical Windows apps to work
| flawlessly. Wine, in its commercial form, has been doing so for years.
|
| So, in 2008, the 1.0 version will hit the streets and the timing could not be
| more perfect. White admits that not every Windows application will work
| flawlessly on Wine, but many a critical one for the enterprise has been
| specifically optimized.
