  WIN4LIN ANNOUNCES FULL PRODUCT SUPPORT FOR UBUNTU  6.06
   
  Full Support for Win4Lin Pro Desktop and Win4Lin Virtual Desktop Server on
Ubuntu Linux
  
AUSTIN, TX -- Win4Lin, the leading purveyor of desktop and enterprise
Windows-on-Linux solutions for business, announced today full support for
Ubuntu 6.06 for Win4Lin Pro Desktop and Win4Lin Virtual Desktop Server.
   
  Win4Lin Pro Desktop allows Linux users to run Windows applications from the
security of the Linux desktop.   Win4Lin Virtual Desktop Server is the
enterprise/SMB product for delivering Windows applications on thin clients
via a Linux server.  Both products have been fully tested on Ubuntu 6.06.


  "With this announcement of support by Win4Lin, Ubuntu is once more able to
deliver class leading solutions, to our customers,” said Malcolm Yates, ISV
and Partner manager at Canonical. “Our users can reduce their management
effort by maintaining existing applications and moving to Ubuntu for the
future.”
  "Win4Lin support of Ubuntu 6.06 for both Win4Lin Pro as well as Virtual
Desktop Server provides users with the best overall coexistence with Windows
in the market", said Jim Curtin, president and CEO of Win4Lin. "This tight
cooperation is a boon for users worldwide who have embraced the
market-leading features and benefits of the Ubuntu Linux distribution."
  Win4Lin Virtual Desktop Server can be used in one of two ways. First, VDS
serves as a means to wean a Linux-committed organization from the last few
Windows applications by consolidating them onto a Linux server for as-needed
concurrent use. Windows can then be gracefully de-commissioned from a
convenient central location once suitable replacements are in production.
Secondly, organizations with reluctant user populations can use VDS to server
Windows desktops in “full screen” mode on top of an end-to-end Linux
infrastructure. This allows the organization to reap the many benefits of
Linux infrastructure without their users needing to be re-trained in the
first phases of the conversion. 

Win4Lin Pro Desktop was recently picked as the winner in a LinuxWorld
Magazine face-off review against VMware Workstation™ and was the winner of
the prestigious LinuxWorld Expo Award for Best Enterprise Integration
Product.
