Evaluate the three windows simulators in Linux (below)

Article title: Evaluation of three windows simulators in Linux (below ). Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.
　　
　　
CNET score: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 best
　　
Advantage: it can run Windows applications without a Windows environment and has a strong user group.
Disadvantages: it is difficult to use, and the application support is always different. it is still under large-scale R & D.
Conclusion: Wine's creative and Windows compatibility orientation is destined to play an important role in the Linux world. But it's not time.
　　
Wine is not a simulator. In addition to setting up a Linux reorganizations, "Wine" is also a commonplace. Wine provides an environment for simulating the Windows operating system-with this environment, but there is no actual Windows-so that you can execute Windows applications. Seeing that Microsoft has been fixing Windows vulnerabilities and incorporating new program code into the window system for nearly a decade, Wine's development plan is ambitious.
　　
　　
Wine can provide a virtual Windows environment without Windows

Wine
　　
Wine is not a simulator. In addition to setting up another Linux reorganization word, Wine is also a commonplace. Wine provides an environment for simulating Windows operating systems so that you can execute Windows applications. However, although this simulation environment appears, there is no actual Windows program. Seeing that Microsoft has been fixing Windows vulnerabilities and incorporating new program code into the window system for nearly a decade, Wine's development plan is ambitious.
　　
Even if we just roughly browsed Wine Development HQ, the fact is very obvious: Although Wine is ambitious, it is still in the R & D stage. This situation also illustrates the Linux situation, but in addition to the enthusiasm of Wine, it seems that it is still in the brewing period, and the initial release stage has not yet reached. Although it sounds so picky, it is only the shell of the error message behind Wine. we will see more in this comment.
　　
Install
In fact, we tried three versions of Wine's RPM archive packages. the most successful test was CodeWeavers. The biggest difference between CodeWeavers Wine and the other two versions lies in the end of the package system setting file. An RPM file package requires us to go to the hard disk without considering creating a subdirectory and making it public. The other one seems to have created a system setting file, but we won't be able to find its own file after a while. CodeWeaver Wine has a very good system setting icon that provides our preset file distribution location. after the settings are complete, the small icon of the application will become like a Wine glass, let people know its connection with Wine at a glance. (Well, those Glass glasses are indeed champagne cups, but we cannot avoid them. In short, this program is still under development .)
　　
Wine assumes Windows
Next, we opened a Microsoft Office 97 CD, searched for Word in the directory, and pressed the mouse twice in the Wine diagram. After the hard disk is running for a while, it tells us that an important dynamic link library (DLL) is missing, but it still loads the Word, it's almost executable, but no disk function can be started, and the same thing also happens on an Excel worksheet. We tried painting Shop Pro again, and this time it was impossible to load.
　　
Remember to refer to the file description in the software package and try it during the evaluation for Wine. The example command wine sol.exe detail execution file is stored in the tmpdirectory (sol.exe is a program exclusive to Windows) and run it. We succeeded! With great encouragement, we tried FreeCell and MSPaint again, but Wine could not solve them and let them execute normally.
　　
To be fair, we must tell you the alternative: execute Wine and direct it to an existing Windows hard drive partition. this is based on the following considerations: in this way, Wine has a chance to directly obtain the real Windows dynamic link library, rather than relying on the DLL that comes in an endless stream of errors provided by Wine. It is mentioned in some instruction files that this alternative can be used if Wine cannot run. in other files, it means that this operation may succeed. Finally, we decided to give up the experiment. If Wine is not a Windows simulator, it does not need a Windows system.
　　
Summary
In conclusion, we get a very simple conclusion: Wine is still on the road to R & D, and we do not intend to criticize it. However, the concept of Wine is quite interesting, especially "no need for Windows". until it matures, we will continue to observe its progress.
　　
　　
　　
Our recommended products
　　
VMware Workstation 2.03
　　
Although the high price of VMware will lead to a huge loss of your purse, we strongly recommend it to the resource management personnel who work on the Linux system platform and must support the Windows system environment; it is an indispensable tool! It is not difficult to let Windows crash, but it is too convenient to let it only work in its own workspace without affecting the operation of the Linux layer. VMware is an option if you don't want to fill your tables with a bunch of messy Windows hosts. After Wine is installed, it may damage VMware, but so far it has not happened. If you only need to run some Windows applications occasionally, Win4Lin will be able to meet your needs.
