Can Wine be port to winxp and then... Wine is app for linux that make windows apps work on linux without emulation Mb with porting it to windows xp the apps that un supported anymore on xp Will work now thx to wine Just an idea
what about you talking ? windows 16bit apps on xp 32bit ? windows 16bit apps on xp 64bit ? <- sounds idiotic or what if a 32bit windows app dont run, then the 32bit app is dynamic compiled and need usual just the c++ redist files inside the prog folder (older version than you have inside system32) obviously you are dont know hat wine is in simple way: wine is just a linux service that create virtual windows apis (dll-funktions) and rout it to linux apis and now you want to port wine to windows == a service that create - virtual windows apis - route it to linux apis - and then rout it back to windows apis this sounds realy idiotic (sorry)
I guess he wants to run software that's too new for the native XP kernel (made for Vista,7, 8.x, 10) under XP, using Wine as a shim/compatibility layer. Basically like the KernelEx project did, for older OS.
Yes Microsoft stopping supporting win7 soon Many programs componies gonna start leave win 7 for newer oses With this open source it could make older windows works Alone from ms without a problem
I think it would be a lot easier to make them work on Windows 7, instead. Win7 architecture is a lot more similar to the later OS. XP is fundamentally different.
