Daemon Dancing in the Dark

Tainted by evil

As much as I hate the idea, sometimes you just have to run Windows apps. I've pretty much made a clean break but some things just require to ubiquitous Windows. I haven't had much luck with WINE, as there seems to be some kind of thread problem. I was hoping to use it to run Firefox + Flash, which is something that just doesn't work on FreeBSD. But neither Firefox nor Opera would work using WINE.

I also dual boot into WIndows to play computer games, although WINE claims to be able to run several of the games I play. But here's another entry in the "Run WIndows apps transparently on your FreeBSD machine", called "Win4BSD", an offshoot, I guess, of a Linux version called Win4Lin. I might have to check it out, even if it does seem to be commercial software.
