PRESS RELEASE
For immediate release
Linux runs Windows applications seamlessly with 2X ApplicationServer
Publish any Windows application onto a Linux desktop with 2X
Application Server's Linux client
Frankfurt, Germany, 27 June 2006 - RedHat, Suse, Ubuntu and other
Linux distribution users can now run Windows applications seamlessly
on their desktop with 2X ApplicationServer's Linux client. 2X
ApplicationServer is available for free for up to 5 applications at:
http://www.2x.com/applicationserver/application-publishin....
Until now, Linux users could only run Windows applications using
Windows simulation software (e.g. WINE). This type of software is
typically difficult to configure and only works with a limited number
of applications. In addition, this generally would only support older
versions. With 2X ApplicationServer however, any Windows application
can be tunneled via RDP onto a Linux desktop.
"With the 2X ApplicationServer Linux client, deploying Linux on the
desktop becomes more realistic, since you can continue to use Windows
applications which don't have a Linux version" said Niko Makris, 2X
President.
About 2X ApplicationServer

for Windows Terminal Services available at: http://www.2x.com/
