Novell/MS plan to release SuSE-Windows combo based on VMWare/Xen/Virtualization. IMO using LLVA/LLVM virtual machine, in theory, it is possible to create a single version of application binaries that run on both OS at the same time. The same application can run on either Windows or Linux or both Windows + Linux without modification/re-compiling. Is this idea possible? What is the communication/load-balancing between Linux and Windows? Thank you. _____________________________________________________________ = You want FREE web-based email ? = You want your own @qon.lao.net address?? = Then you want LaoNet's WebMail ! = Get it at http://webmail.lao.net !!

For special cases, yes this will work. -Chris -- http://nondot.org/sabre/ http://llvm.org/
