What do people know about this project? Apparently, the goal is to extend the Linux kernel so that it is possible to run some Windows programs natively. I found out about it checking on the ReactOS forums to see if anything positive had been posted.
One of the complaints about Linux is that it doesn't support 3D hardware acceleration very often. Why hasn't a company come out to design 3D video cards specifically for Linux? It seems like there is a real business opportunity here. I'm not an EE so I wouldn't be the one to design video cards for Linux, but I'm sure someone is. Owning a licensed copy of Dirk Dashing and Rick Rocket, it is certainly possible to write games for Linux that people want to play. I'm thinking though that 3D hardware acceleration would be great for CAD and CNC software as well. I'm a little concerned about the idea that Linux should be able to run Windows software natively. I wonder if the efforts to have Linux pretend to be Windows wouldn't be better spent writing replacement software that is meant for Linux in the first place? _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
