Before I start some readers may suggest I should post this in the wine forums, but I'm hoping for some unbiased opinions.
MS windows, seems there are (or will be) 2 ways: wine or virtualbox (- BTW both not yet BSD native).
Given the advent of [cheap] multicore cpu's, one would think the future points at virtualbox as the better term answer.
( :\ Of course AMD/intel only went into multicore CPU's because of MS even today with Vista and Server 2008 still can not offer properly implemented (let alone reliable) multi-tasking (let alone any real multi-user) functionality. :OO [even with multicore they only get a fraction closer but still so far away])
Back to the point: long term view - to stay relevant into the future what are the feelings here? vb or wine?
(And to be truly independent of Redmond lets throw ReactOS into the pot? - I know there are good people working on wine but my feeling is surely time wine's abandoned and it's resources spread between virtualbox and ReactOS?)
