Project David

[The O'Really Factor]

Well I was searching around the web for a better alternative to wine, -and figured that it would have to include proprietary code to achieve better compatibility- and I found some news on something called Project David being developed by a company in the Philippines called SpecOPs Labs. This project was supposed to be a program that ran on top of Linux and allowed to run Windows based programs. After a bit of looking around, I saw that the website was down, which probably implies that the project went down although I also read about IBM giving funding to the company. You can find out more information by reading this wikipedia article: Project David - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia or through Google.

Now that I'm done rambling I'd like to ask if this was even possible. I know back in 2004 when this project was announced to the public, that a lot of people said it couldn't be done or that it was just a repackaged version of wine. Is this even really possible? I read that they released a david version .01 and that it was 25% complete as a project.

I ask one more time; Is it really possible?

Well, everything is with everything compatable.
The project will be extremly hard to code and will be huge.
But yea it is posable.

Possible? Yes. Probable or at all likely? No.
