WineHQ: Point to CRN's recent article

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



TechWeb recently published an article titled:
   Study Questions Whether Reliance On Microsoft Software Raises
   Security Concerns

Which was also republished in CRN with the clearer (but more

   Experts: Reliance On Microsoft A Danger To National Security

That article, and especially the report, 'CyberInsecurity: The Cost of
Monopoly', confirms what we say in our page on Why Wine is so important
so let's point to it.

 Because it is an alternate implementation of the Win32 API and runs on
 top of a completely different OS, Wine does not have the same flaws and
 thus can provide this needed diversity.
