This gives users a migration path towards UNIX, + allowing them to run legacy software until native ports or + alternatives are available. It also provides a transitionary step for + software vendors who plan to port their product to UNIX, but have not + yet done so. Users could buy the Windows version product and run it at + near native speeds on UNIX, using Plex86, until a UNIX native version + is ready. |
