Windows The number of useful desktop applications for Linux is growing every day, but there are many would-be users who still have one or more "must have" Windows applications. For those users, running Windows under Linux is a suitable alternative to having to maintain two systems, or a dual-boot system with Linux and Windows. One of the options for running Windows under Linux is Win4Lin, Inc.'s Win4Lin Pro, which was released earlier this year.

I have been using win4lin 9x for several years now and the only thing I can say is that it does totally rock. Win98 or ME run as fast or faster on Win4lin as it did on is own.

Unfortunately Win4Lin pro just doesn't cut it. I am hoping that the money I spent on Pro will eventually pay for itself when they get it right. Qemu should be activated by default and it would help if pro had a gui install like 9x. The only reason I didn't try to get a refund was because I want to support companies that are trying to develop software for Linux and I'm not against supporting this effort with my money.
