| From: James Knott via talk <talk@gtalug.org> | Microsoft is working to improve Wine on Linux: | | https://www.zdnet.com/article/wine-for-running-windows-10-apps-on-linux-gets... | | And Android too: | | https://www.androidpolice.com/2020/01/21/windows-compatibility-layer-wine-hi... | | Micrsoft has certainly changed since Bill and Steve left. Thanks for those links. Interesting. Maybe I'm missing something. I don't see anything in those articles about Microsoft contributing code to WINE projects. What I do see is that Microsoft has made a submission to the US Supreme Court, arguing against Oracle's lower court win against Google. That ruling decided that APIs were subject to copyright (disaster!). Microsoft argues: WINE and WSL show that free use of APIs can work as a win-win. This means that it will ill-become them to legally stomp on WINE. That's a Good Thing. But it isn't working to improve WINE.
