Hi, Just small remark..
A few years ago a new Linux distribution came along. It was called "Lindows", and it promised to use Wine in order to run your existing Windows applications on it. A couple of years later the company decided that Wine was not getting there, and stopped sponsoring any more work on it. Is that also an evil thing to do?
Actually this was a pure hype from the Lindows sales team (and Michael Robertson) to run your existing apps. I personally bought a copy of Lindows as soon as it was available, just to check things out. After downloading the ISO and installing it, I started to look at the scripts inside, up and down, left and right - in all the migration and the wine installation stuff, and guess what I found? it was only supported Office 97,XP and Quicken. Few months later, I talked to Jeremy White (CEO of CodeWeavers), and he told me that according to their agreement with Lindows, all CodeWeavers agreed to was to hack wine so you could install and user Office 97, XP (and not all the parts!)and maybe one or two more applications (specifically Quicken), and that was their contract. Nothing more and nothing less. They NEVER promised to let you run all your existed applications in your windows partition.
