Lilax Jan 2009 Wine
Dan Kegel
Windows has dominated PCs for decades
What's wrong with that?
Putting all your eggs in one basket is risky
Relying on a single food crop can be disasterous
Relying on a single operating system can lead to massive infections
Botnets are bigger than Google!
Microsoft Vista gobbles system resources
Windows 7 has the same system requirements as Vista!
Updating old systems to Vista or Windows 7, step 1
How this forced upgrade feels
What to do?
Use design redundancy to protect against failure of a particular design
Use dual sourcing to protect against vendor failure
Migrate to free software to avoid license fees
Run legacy apps with Wine when possible
Or real Windows via terminal server or virtual machines when Wine won't do
Fixing bugs in Wine can be simple
This is where you come in
