Just browsing freshmeat the other day I came across Captive1.0 (http://freshmeat.net/releases/139750/) which seems to have ties to ReactOS (http://reactos.com) who are starting to share info with the WINE (http://winehq.com) folks … whew that was long.

Most hard-core GNU fanboys will despise it but I think this is exciting stuff to bridge the gap between OSes. Hopefully this could turn into something that might give VMware a run for it’s $$$.”
