Edit: formatting
- mistaken 10y agoThat's like an official implementation of WINE from Microsoft.
- my123 10y agoIt's much more complete than Wine, it actually has the whole Windows graphics stack running, outputting over RDP ;)
- wolf550e 10y agoI wonder if the license for that only allows running specific applications.
- my123 10y agoThe PAL runner is actually locked down to run SQL Server only ;-) Trying to run another app, even reg or cmd, currently makes AppLoader crash. (AppLoader is the first .exe that is ran in the NTUM)
- ryandvm 10y agoInteresting. It seems to be based on Microsoft's "Drawbridge" research project: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/project/drawbridge/ https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/project/drawbridge/ I wonder if there's any chance they'd allow this mechanism to be used by 3rd parties to port their Windows services to run on non-Windows platforms. I doubt it...
