| Win4Lin Pro version 2 adds 16- and 64-bits too |
Sep. 01, 2005
Win4Lin, a maker of Windows-on-Linux virtualization software, Thursday released Win4Lin Pro 2.0, which includes support for both older 16-bit code and newer 64-bit processors, among other updates. The new release also boasts easier installation, enhanced performance, and "compatibility with virtually all Windows XP/2000 business applications."
The company announced last May that Win4Lin Pro v1.0 had been designated "Red Hat Ready" for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 on x86 and 64-bit processors.
Win4Lin Pro runs Windows 2000 or Windows XP applications and operating systems with no change necessary to the host operating system (e.g., no need to patch the Linux kernel). Win4Lin Pro runs as a Linux process, sharing the Linux memory and file system without yielding control to the Windows guest operating system, the company claims.
Win4Lin Pro was chosen Best Integration Product at the recent LinuxWorld Expo in San Francisco.
Win4Lin Pro 2.0 is priced at $89.99 for new users. Existing Win4Lin Pro can download Version 2.0 at no charge, the company said.
