[WarpCast] Workspace on Demand Win32 Support - 10/02/98 |
Come visit Hethmon Brothers at Warpstock 98! See the all new Ftpd for OS/2 featuring browser compatibility, virtual file systems and multi-domain support. http://www.hethmon.com -- http://www.warpstock.org ****************************** WarpCast ****************************** Source: Dr. Dirk Terrell (admin@os2ss.com) Moderator: Dirk Terrell (admin@os2ss.com) ********************************************************************** Several readers have sent us messages about reports of Win32 support in Workspace on Demand (see http://www.zdnet.com/pcweek/stories/news/0,4153,355320,00.html) It is our understanding that this business of running Win32 apps "natively" under Workspace on Demand isn't what it appears to be. According to Esther Schindler: "WSOD v2 will -- sometime next year -- be able to run a Win32 client. It would be a *different* client than the current OS/2 Warp-based client (which still runs DOS, OS/2, Win3.x and Java of course), and presumably customers can use whichever one they like. The Win32 client will essentially be a different disk image sent to the workstation; it'd be like running Windows 95/NT hooked to a Warp Server." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe, unsubscribe, or for more information on WarpCast, visit: http://www.warpcast.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------
