| Win4Lin adds support for Windows XP |
May 09, 2005
Earlier this week, Win4Lin Inc. rolled out a "major upgrade" to Win4Lin Pro that adds support for Windows XP, file system integration, and "major performance upgrades."
Recently released Win4Lin Pro offered only "experimental" support for Windows XP, along with promises for enhancements coming soon. Released this week, Win4Lin Pro 1.1 fulfills that promise, supporting both Windows 2000 and Windows XP operating systems and applications.
Win4Lin Pro 1.1 integrates the Linux and Windows filesystems, preserving user documents and settings, according to Win4Lin Inc. Also, it takes advantage of the QEMU processor emulator with the KQEMU accelerator module, which is claimed to provide "both performance and compatibility capabilities that benefit the Win4Lin Pro user."
"With this significant update to the Win4Lin Pro line, Win4Lin not only adds great new features, but now for the first time supports the full line of Windows desktop operating systems for business," says Win4Lin CEO Jim Curtin. "With [Windows] XP support, organizations can now leverage the best of both worlds; the familiarity and investment in legacy Windows environments together with the security, reliability and compelling economics of Linux".
Win4Lin Inc. is currently offering a limited-time discounted price of $119.99. After June 1, 2005, Win4Lin Pro 1.1 will sell for $139.99. Users who have already purchased Win4Lin Pro are entitled to a free and immediate upgrade to Win4Lin Pro 1.1, according to the company.
