“When you can’t beat ’em, join ’em. And that’s just what Bristol
Technology did. After winning a meaningless decision against
Microsoft Corp….over restrictions on access to Windows source
code, Bristol signed the refuted contract and has now released an
updated Wind/U product that ports Windows applications to the Linux
platform.”

“Wind/U, from Bristol Technology Inc….is a set of
cross-platform development tools, as well as a porting center for
moving Microsoft Windows applications to various Unix

development. The Porting Center also provides hands-on training in
Linux development.
