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

2X ApplicationServer tunnels any Windows application onto remote 
desktops, including a Linux desktop, without the need to install the 
application onto each user's machine. This saves significantly on 
administration and support. 

Obtaining the free version

2X is offering a free 5 application license of 2X ApplicationServer 
for Windows Terminal Services available at: http://www.2x.com/
applicationserver/application-publishing.htm. Organizations can 
install applications onto one central server and use 2X 
ApplicationServer to seamlessly tunnel up to 5 applications per 
server onto remote desktops.
