Win4Lin Pro and Win4Lin Virtual Desktop Server provide the best way to complete the transition without sacrificing hard-to-replace legacy Windows applications.”
"Win4Lin Pro 3.5 reflects our commitment to current and emerging Linux platforms, as well as a solid step forward in robustness and usability, said Leo Reiter, CTO, Virtual Bridges. "It is a strong evolution of the excellent 3.0 release."
