hmm - I think many of us would NOT share this view. I would hate to
think win4lin was being use as an excuse to hold back from developing or
supporting good linux native apps.
win4lin is essentially 'transitional software' in my view. I like it,
(especially its relatively clean and mean architecture and performance),
run it a lot - especially to run Gates' self-serving but nigh-on
universal products. But I see no point in turning my linux box back
into a full M$-windows environment - for everyone's sake I'd rather seek
out, or help develop, real linux alternatives...
