Win4Lin Pro Now Available for Linspire
Leading Virtualization Solutions Provider Adds Win4Lin Pro Support to Leading Desktop Linux
AUSTIN, Texas and SAN DIEGO, Aug. 1 // -- Win4Lin, the leading purveyor of desktop and enterprise Windows-on-Linux solutions for business, announced today that the company's Win4Lin Pro product is now compatible with Linspire Five-0 and is available, along with the Win4Lin 9x product, immediately in the Linspire CNR Warehouse.
Users have become increasingly frustrated with the costs, the restrictions and the lack of security in their Windows environments. Until recently, users have had to endure the shortcomings of Windows as there seemed to be no viable alternatives. Though Linux has quickly emerged as the most viable alternative to the desktop status quo, there are countless legacy Windows applications that are not available natively on Linux, and in many cases, probably never will be.
Win4Lin Pro represents the fastest, most secure way to run these Windows applications on home, small office computers or legacy application servers. "Adding Win4Lin Pro compatibility to Linspire opens up a large Windows XP and 2000 user base to the world of desktop Linux," said Kevin Carmony, president and CEO of Linspire, Inc. "People who are ready to migrate to the stability, security and affordability of Linspire desktop Linux, but still need one or two legacy Windows applications, can now easily begin their migration forward."
"Linspire has a fantastic reputation on the desktop for ease of use and innovativeness. Our Win4Lin 9x products have consistently been one of their top selling applications and we believe that the availability of Windows XP and 2000 will be warmly welcomed by Linspire members," said Jim Curtin, president and CEO of Win4Lin. "The ability to run thousands of legacy Windows applications seamlessly with full fidelity of experience removes the last major hurdle in allowing desktop users to fully enjoy the freedom and cost- effectiveness of the Linux platform."
