Apple and Linux are engaged in battle a battle to win over disgruntled Windows users. But who will win, and what will the consequences be for the loser? The most commonly held belief amongst Apple and Linux fanboys is that both factions are engaged in some kind of a war with Microsoft. The truth is that if you look at the market share figure for Windows, Mac and Linux, both Mac OS and all the Linux distros that have ever been released are dwarfed by Windows.

Wow... so WineX, CrossOverOffice and Win4lin are free now? That would be good news, except they aren't and since they aren't guaranteed (and even not very likely) to run my apps, why would i waste money on them?
Win4Lin (as i understand) has no OpenGL acceleration which means 0 (as in Zero) chance of running them.
So you honestly believe it is an good alternative to spend a lot of money on emulation software, which have a very slim chance that they might run my software, with the almost certain chance that they don't support the next version of my apps just for the benefit that i might run my apps at 10% performance with twice the requirement of ram?
