All Things Microsoft > Microsoft as a Company
We won! (sorta...)
DC:
Let's see:
Code leaks>>> People use it to pull WINE out of Alpha stage>>> More people switch to Linux>>> MS sues Wine for copyright infringements>>> endless legal battles and fines draining OSS-money.
This is downright dirty.
lazygamer:
Hmmm excellent point DC, something I never considered!
Calum:
i think wine is shitty software anyway. if it didn't exist, how much more native ports would we see? how many more work hours would have been put into real projects instead?
Refalm:
No. Wine(X) is great, because people can play their favorite Windows game in Linux, and stop using Windows.
Calum:
they can stop using windows anyway and get over it! wineX is even worse what with it being closed source and charging you money for alpha/beta stage software (sounds a bit like lindows).
i don't use windows, i don't need to use wine (although it did come with red hat and i confess i tried it out on notepad and defrag (that was funny) to see how it went) and frankly i can live without the software i don't have for linux.
talk about half full/empty! think of all the things you DO get with linux that you don't get with windows! if windows programs are that important to people, they should dual boot and email the program maintainers about it.
