The idea of Win4Lin is to give users a smooth migration over to Linux so that they can quickly adopt the platform. If IBM gets behind Win4Lin, it actually expands the pie making a more compelling argument of ISVs to invest in next generation native Linux desktop applications. There is no benefit in cloning today's functionality on Linux, but better to focus on tomorrow. There needs to be critical mass of desktop systems. Win4Lin is a bridge to help people crossover to Linux quickly.
