Funny you should mention that. I think it was on osnews.com where I read
that they were doing business with the Transgaming folks a while
back...which right off the bat gets me suspicious of a Wine in a
"revolutionary emulator"'s clothing (not to say Wine isn't
revolutionary, but it's limits are better known than its possibilities
at this stage in the game anyway).
For their "Demo" they showed OS-X running a graphically demanding
application (Quake III - apparently doable without a whole lot of work)
and Windows running the Gimp (a Windows port exists, I've used it myself
and it was a snap to install).
So all in all, not far from convincing. Smells like Limberger to me...

If it's real maybe. It sounds too good to be true and the lack of

a lot of "revolutionary" software that never happens.

Ya, it sounds like a great thing, but I'll believe it when I see it actually
working. Reminds me a little of these guys with their spectacular claims
from earlier this year about a major Wine breakthrough:

yet.
