Winux

Winux is actually a separate product that is being phased out based on running Win32 on top of the Linux kernel... it was to stable. This way with liNTux you get all the resource hungry privacy invading goodness of the NT kernel!

Some reason they can't support the existing ones in the host?

what do you mean? Hyper-V's host is Windows, this is a bridgehead driver for a Linux guest

This should definitely improve performance for Wine on Linux on Windows 🤘

More virtualization for the virtualization god!

There are still oddities with certain stuff from the Windows 95/98 era. The original FFVII for Win98 gave me issues in Wine the last time I tried, six months ago, it so I ended up finding a copy of the Steam version since it works just fine in Wine.

Haha never knew there was a Windows version of FFVII, I remember trying to use Bleem on Win 98 to run the PS disk. Until Sony shut them down anyways.

And Wine is not able to run these games? Or do you specifically want to run these games on Windows?

I wish they (or anyone capable) could develop one for Windows 95 so I can play some decent older titles.

I think it is sad there is still a certain blind spot where the games are too recent for DOSBox and a software renderer and too old for VirtualBox / VMWare's Windows XP accelerated GPU passthrough driver.

Kind of the DirectX 3 - 7 era
