[Qemu-devel] qemu vs. win4lin pro

[Stefan Kombrink]

Hi there,

 I tried win4lin pro and found it very similar to running win2k using qemu.
Speed (of graphics) is not higher and it uses the same hardware.
Does it contain less bugs than qemu or what's the advantage that makes user 
pay 89$ for it?

 greetings,

Never used it, but here's their answer to this question:

So you're not imagining that it behaves similar to QEMU.  As to whether
$X for support, smoothing rough edges and whatnot is worth it to party
Y, only Y can say.

For myself, I like my computers to need me. If everything just worked,
aside from being bored, I'd be superfluous! So I get my QEMU from source
control.
