Win4Lin Products Available for Linspire

WIN4LIN PRODUCTS NOW AVAILABLE FOR LINSPIRE

Win4Lin Pro Product Will Join Win4Lin 9X and Win4Lin Home
by Mid-Summer

May 31, 2005
AUSTIN, TX AND SAN DIEGO, CA  Win4Lin, a leading supplier
of enterprise virtualization solutions on Linux, announced
today that the company's Win4Lin 9x and Win4Lin Home
products are now compatible with Linspire Five-0 and are
available in  the Linspire CNR Warehouse.  The company also
announced that their flagship Win4Lin Pro will be available
in the CNR Warehouse by mid-summer 2005. 

Users are becoming increasingly frustrated with the costs,
the restrictions and the lack of security in their Windows
environments. Until recently, users have had to endure the
shortcomings of Windows as there seemed to be no viable
alternatives. Though Linux has quickly emerged as the most
viable alternative to the desktop status quo, there are
countless legacy Windows applications that are not
available natively on Linux, and in many cases, probably
never will be. 

Win4Lin Home and Win4Lin 9x represent the fastest, most
secure way to run these Windows applications on home, small
office computers or legacy application servers. 
 
"I talk to people every day who are anxious to start using
Linux, but they want to ease into it gently and be able to
run Linux while still having access to their old Windows
software," said Kevin Carmony, president and CEO of
Linspire, Inc. "The latest Win4Lin applications for
Linspire give users the freedom to continue using their
legacy Windows applications but start to migrate to the
stability, security and affordability of Linspire desktop
Linux."

"Linux has made great strides on the desktop in the past
couple of years largely due to leaders like Linspire who
have focused on the ease of use and accessibility of
Linux," said Jim Curtin, CEO of Win4Lin. "Linspire Five-0,
together with our Win4Lin products, offers users the
perfect combination of ease of use, exciting original Linux
applications as well as the essential bridge to their
hard-to-replace legacy Windows applications."


Win4Lin Product Family
 
Products in the Win4Lin family include Win4Lin Pro,
Win4Lin 9X, Win4Lin Terminal Server and Win4Lin Home.
Win4Lin Pro provides support for Windows 2000 and Windows
XP on Linux.  Win4Lin 9X (formerly Win4Lin 5)  provides
migration support for enterprise users moving from Windows
to Linux by allowing the execution of applications that
cannot be ported to Linux (i.e. missing source code, too
expensive) with full support for networked environments.
Win4Lin Home is a lightweight version of Win4Lin 9X that
provides the standalone or home user with the ability to
run needed Windows applications (like Quicken® and
TurboTax®) on Linux. Win4Lin Terminal Server is the
company's enterprise solution for delivering Windows
applications on thin clients via a Linux server.
