[advocacy-discuss] Bordeaux for OpenSolaris 1.8.2 Released

[Uros Nedic]

Could you tell us a little more about overhead when those applications run in
'naitive' OS (Windows or Mac OS X). Maybe, it is better to compare it with
Mac OS X since on the same hardware same software run dramatically faster on
Mac than on Windows XP/Vista.

Also, I would like to know what is advantage of Bordeaux over WINE?

When do you plan to support the latest products from Adobe?

By the way, it is a great news and price is very affordable even for people
in development countries.

P.S: Please, be honest in answers since this is community of software engineers
and any 'marketing language' will only diminish your brand in our community.
