So at what point should one draw the line in the sand? Running Windows applications on a simulated Windows software platform does not differ much from running it on a Windows box does it? It certainly does not keep motivation out there for those starving developers devoting their time free to writing code for new and/or improved native Linux apps. Don't get me wrong here....I luv my VST's as much as the next guy and I use them on Linux a lot...but so far, only for things I cannot get by way of a native Linux application. </moral conscience> :) > > > > > > -- > ----------------------------------------- > fedora core 2 > kernel 2.6.9-2.2.rdt.rhfc2.ccrma > wine 20041201 > xfce 4.2rc2 > ----------------------------------------- > asus a7n8x-x m/b > 80 gb western digital caviar h/d > 512mb generic ram > nvidia geforce mx400 agp 8x v/c > soundblaster live 5.1 platinum
