LinuxWorld: Versora on migrating to Linux (Open Resource)

[Posted August 11, 2005 by cook]

Open Resource interviews Jon Walker, CTO of Versora. "Q:What does an organization do with Windows-only apps when migrating to Linux? A:They have four choices, really. One is to port the applications, if they have access to the source code. Two is to re-write the application, which most organizations don't have the time luxury to do. A third is to discontinue the use of the application. And the fourth is to run a thin client, Win4Lin or emulator (in this case, if the applicaiton in question is on the codewaever list, you're in luck)."
