[Bug 25253] New: Wine for Windows
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25253 Summary: Wine for Windows Product: Wine Version: unspecified Platform: x86 OS/Version: Windows 2000 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P4 Component: wineserver AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: digitallyhere(a)gmail.com the summary may sound lame but there are users like me who would find it very useful, Microsoft is cutting support for its old OS's and the new programs are refusing to run on them due to kernel updates - but they can run on WINE. there are people who are making large effort to keep programs running on Win2000 by using replacement system files but running Wine instead would not risk the systems operatibility, Wine may even find users on Win98. this is the windows 2000 gaming group: http://win2kgaming.site90.com/phpBB2/ thanks for reading, Charlie. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

No, it's not going to work, particularly not for the purpose of running old 16-bit or win9x apps. Cygwin is not a virtual machine. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

I don't think it could support OpenGL efficiently, though. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
