Win4Lin 5.0 makes big improvements
,----[ Quote ]
| There is no dearth of software that can help you run that indispensable
| Windows app over Linux. Win4Lin has managed to survive through the years as
| an inexpensive tool for people who like to pay for support. The recently
| released Win4Lin 5, available for $30 a pop, has shrugged off the
| shortcomings of its predecessor and delivers on its "near native-performance"
| promise.

| For those who would love to switch to GNU/Linux, but can't do
| without Windows-only programs from companies like Adobe, Corel,
| and Microsoft, Win4Lin is undoubtedly the solution to your dilemma.

| like Xandros, Linspire, or Mandriva, a Windows refugee will have
| everything he needs while keeping his software costs below thep
| rice of a Windows Vista upgrade.

| enough news for a day. So stay tuned, there will be a "second
| INQpressions" report with the latest 3.5 test version soon.
