My new favorite anti-malware story (was:...Possessed) Wednesday, September 30, 2009 at 10:16 am Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by gewg_ (3932 messages posted) |goawayfast (aka Lisa) wrote: ||When I look at software boxes though, ||I don't remember any of them ever saying Linux ||as a possible OS to run the software on gewg_ wrote: |A Free Software re-implementation of the Windoze APIs: |(aka A replacement for Windoze) |http://google.com/search?q=WineHQ WINE is a recursive acronym for "Wine Is Not an Emulator". Again, it is a reverse-engineered implementation of Windows' Application Programming Interfaces--the core technology of Windoze. This is a clean-room build that doesn't use any M$ code. My new favorite anti-malware story: from the Usenet Archive -- WINE as an anti-malware tool -- Terry Porter Translation: The infected Windoze app wanted to use Terry's computer as a zombie to spew spam on behalf of the infection's creator. WINE not only didn't cooperate, WINE pointed at the infection and started to metaphorically shout a warning. Tagline should be: WINE: A better Windows than Windoze.
