"We appreciate all of our supporters and the many thousands of people who have bought Win4Lin Pro over the past year and helped us to make it what it is today. Win4Lin is the perfect solution for any organization looking to have a balanced desktop portfolio, or a credible alternative, in a market effectively dominated by a single vendor. Now that virtually any legacy Windows XP application can be run on Linux with Win4Lin Pro, without the need for porting, re-writes or quirky behavior, Linux desktops finally make sense for the enterprise and the SMB user."
