What market share? The Plex86 project doesn't make any money. It's made by its own users as a community effort. I like Plex86 because it's free. If I didn't care I'd rather be using VMware, which is much faster. Please don't convert Plex86 into another project with unclear licensing, it's quite annoying for us Debian folks to remove nonfree stuff by cutting source snapshots. btw, when will the elpin bios be removed? cbothamy's free implementation is becoming more complete everytime.. -- Robert Millan
