Well, I hope this will not be the case, but if it is. I think Netraverse
should stop.
I only need win4lin to be able to run a couple of win32 products. I do
not need a vmware, nor do I need to waste money on a new version
just for kernel 2.4x support.
Come on Netraverse, do not turn your backs on old customers. I bought
my Win4Lin 1.0 from Trelos, as soon as it was released, before I read any
reviews. It was cheap, fast and did the job.
Since then, we have had a number of bug release fixes, then
came along Netraverse and a Win4Lin 2.0 .... what does the 2.0 signify? Very
little.
I will not buy Win4Lin 3.0, I do not need it.
All I need is kernel 2.4 compatibilty.
I repeat, do not turn your back on your customers.
When you bring out a product that is a real Major release i.e. with
Winsocks2.x support, then I may well justify the upgrade.
Not until then.
