Does it run by itself? If not, it's an application that runs under/on
Linux. Its task is to emulate a PC so that you can run Windows on
it. If you think about it, this is the worst possible sort of
software to maintain compatibility with all the stuff people are
changing. Linux is changing, Windows is changing. Both have multiple
implementations, making 'compatibility' become a nightmare.

I find this pretty amazing. At least 3 different Netraverse people
provide helpful information right here in this conference and yet you

Stuff's going to 'break' as long as Linux and Windows evolve. It's
inevitable. Let's face it; it's not normal to be running two
operating systems on the same machine.
