Versora and Win4Lin Announce Complete Linux Desktop
Migration and Virtualization Toolkit
Bundled Software Package Automates the Data, System and
Application Settings Migration from Windows to Linux
Allowing Windows Applications to Run on Linux
Santa Barbara, CA & Austin, TX ? September 20, 2005 ?
Versora and Win4Lin announced today the availability of
?The Complete Linux Desktop Migration and Virtualization
Toolkit?. The bundled software package includes Versora?s
Progression Desktop which automates the migration of data,
application and system settings from Windows desktops to
Linux as well as Win4Lin Pro, which runs Windows 2000/XP
applications and OS on Linux.
?A bundled migration and virtualization toolkit makes sense
for individuals and organizations who want to move off
Windows to Linux, but have trepidations about the new
environment,? notes Versora CEO Mike Sheffey. ?You can now
migrate all desktop data and settings from Windows to Linux
while using the same Windows applications you rely on that
aren?t supported by Linux.?
Genesis for ?The Complete Linux Desktop Migration and
Virtualization Toolkit? stemmed from customer feedback that
expressed a desire for a seamless transition from Windows
to Linux which was perceived to be lacking. Survey results
indicated that the most important components of a seamless
transition included the ability to run Windows applications
on Linux and the need to automate the migration of data,
application and systems settings from the original Windows
machine.
?We feel that this Linux migration and virtualization
toolkit will go a long way in the adoption of Linux,? said
Win4Lin Vice President of Business Development Mark Hinkle.
?In essence, an individual?s new Linux desktop will be the
same as the old Window?s machine ? even down to the
wallpaper, sounds and keyboard settings.?
?The Complete Linux Desktop Migration and Virtualization
Toolkit? is available for electronic download at
www.versora.com and www.win4lin.com for $99 per license.
