Flash and XP

Wed Oct 6 12:28:45 EDT 2004

We have experience running VMware Workstation on Linux hosts and using
Windows XP Pro as the guest operating system in a lab environment and on
individual user machines.
We have found that Wine may work for basic stuff but if you want to run
higher end applications only available on Windows (ex AutoCAD) on a Linux
machine you have two choices, VMware or Citrix.

What is winbloze? is that the same as winblows made by microsucks or is it
M$?????

Has anyone done VMWare vs. Wine as far as the winbloze stuff goes?

It was just one of those posts that no one picked up on at the time.

I don't have the time these days to get to a meeting, let alone organize 
one, but if you or anyone else wants to, I'll be glad to act as an 
intermediary since I am the VMware representative for this lug (I also 
posted about this before I did it and no one objected and I got a free 
copy out of the deal.) ( I still haven't upgraded my computer, so I 
can't actually run it yet.)
