Dapper Dan 0 Posted January 4, 2005 You may rerefering to Win4Lin which enables you to run non-NT Windows as an application straight from your Linux desktop. It makes Windows much more stable than when it runs natively. It takes a while to warm up, but once it does, it will run Windows apps just as fast as under native Windows. The only apps that won't run under Win4Lin are DirectX games.Win4Lin costs. Here's a screenie of Win4Lin in action way back when I was running Mandrake 9.0... Share this post Link to post
iamroot 0 Posted January 4, 2005 Does Win4Lin require Windows to be installed? Share this post Link to post
Dapper Dan 0 Posted January 4, 2005 Yes. You must have a legitimate copy of pre-NT Windows. Once Win4Lin is installed, you have to put the Windows CD in. Win4Lin then copies the files from the Windows CD, then there is a regular Windows installation, complete with 75 reboots and all. It will ask for the product key and will not work unless you provide it. This works well for those of us who still have our pre-NT disks. Share this post Link to post
