Software Bridges Windows and Linux
An Austin, Texas-based software maker hopes to make it easier with products that allow Linux-based PCs to run Windows and Windows-based applications in a safe virtual sandbox. James Curtin, CEO of NeTraverse, an exhibitor and presenter at the Desktop Linux Summit here, said his Win4Lin products are intended to serve as a bridge for companies making the switch from Windows to Linux.
Such transitions often involve a few Windows applications that can't easily be replicated in the open-source world, he said. "It's that last 20 percent of the software stack that causes 80 percent of the problems in adopting Linux," Curtin said.
