  AUSTIN, TX -- Virtual Bridges, Inc, a provider of desktop and enterprise virtualization solutions
for business, announced today the release of a major upgrade to its Win4Lin Pro product.
   
  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.
   
  The Win4Lin Pro 3.5 upgrade includes new functionality, support for newer Linux distributions,
performance improvements and a roll-up of the maintenance releases since Win4Lin Pro 3 which was
released in May 2006.

   “Win4Lin Pro continues to improve to meet the needs of organizations looking for alternatives
to the Microsoft Windows status quo” said Jim Curtin, president and CEO of Virtual Bridges.
“Users are looking for application equivalency in their desktop alternatives. Win4Lin Pro and
Win4Lin Virtual Desktop Server provide the best way to complete the transition without sacrificing
hard-to-replace legacy Windows applications.” 
   
  "Win4Lin Pro 3.5 reflects our commitment to current and emerging Linux platforms, as well as a
solid step forward in robustness and usability, said Leo Reiter, CTO, Virtual Bridges.  "It is a
strong evolution of the excellent 3.0 release."
