PleX86/ qemu if they are fast enough at that point.Terminal Servers with rdpclient if its an occasional annoyance.

Parallel run some free apps -Mozilla and - with the.What this allows is a gradual transition: Like it to happen, people can't port this stuff overnight. Specific behaviour of Excel, Access, or IE. Think about it - masses of corporate desktops have stupid little Win32Īpps written by morons in MFC, VB, or some other abortion of a devįramework running on them right now. The trouble with such glue code, however, is that MS controls one side of the equation, and it's again a sure bet that the rules will change as soon as trouble threatens. The real key to making something like this work would be a certain degree of transparency - allow users to put icons for Linux apps on the Windows desktop, allow X to display windows on the desktop directly, make drag-n-drop and cut-and-paste 'just work', so that an office worker or home user might never notice that some of their apps are running on Linux (except for, e.g. (I'd guess that VMWare is pretty much under their radar screen, but that they likely have a contingency plan in case it takes off.) Seriously, though, while I think everyone here would prefer to run the real OS natively and the poser OS for the legacy work, it's a pretty good guess that MS would work overtime to make their offering not work with any emulator out there that starts to help build market share for some other OS.
