Windows history:
computing in the past
Windows Clones :
- WINE free
WINdows Emulator for Linux/Unices
- Wine on
FreeBSD : Wine works
for most user applications. Games tend to be more problematic, but
it's worth trying.
- FreeBSD,
OpenBSD, Darwin, DragonFly BSD,
NET-BSD,
PC-BSD are
all about to be mature OS'ses, keep an eye on them! (FreeBSD has 77%
market share). If they wóuld reunite, what a wonderfull OS this
could be!
- ReactOS
project, free Windows NT
4.0 clone distributed under the GPL license. Still alpha(2012).
Beta planned in mid 2012 (developpers, testers always welcome!).
Sure worth a visit.
- MicroWindows
(now Nano-Window) page
- The The CygWin library allows you to
simulate a GNU system on top of Win32, thanks to
the cygwin32.dll
Support REACTOS, WINE,
FREEBSD!
