How to run linux applications in windows using Ulteo
Stumble it!If you want to run Linux applications on Windows, give Ulteo Virtual Desktop a try. It’s a free of cost software that lets you runs linux applications on your windows easily through it’s Ulteo panel and its window will show up like any other Windows application. This is built using a special Linux kernel patch called “coLinux” that achieves great performance, close to a native installation on the PC.
You must be wondering that which linux applications can you run in windows with Ulteo, well good news is, a full range of Linux applications are supported in the standard version. Applications that are already included are:
- Firefox web browser enabled with Flash & Java
- The full OpenOffice.org office suite that can deal with your MS Office documents
- KPdf to deal with your PDF documents
- Kopete: the multi-Instant Messaging software that supports MSN and other protocols
- Skype
- Thunderbird + Enigmail (so you can encrypt your emails!)
- Gimp and Digikam to manage your pictures
- Inkscape and Scribus to create great graphics and newspapers
- and… many others!
If you are looking to add more linux applications, goto Ulteo “My Digital Life” panel, you can add new “application balls”, such as additional desktop application, games very easily.
Um. Most of those are already available on Windows. I see no point.
agree with Mati. Pretty much all of the apps mentioned here have windows versions. I am sure that there must be a point to this program, but the author must have missed that then.
