![]() The native machine is Apple MacBook Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz + 1 GB RAM with 2.6.21.5-mactel. WINE, Cedega, and CX emulates equivalent version of MS Windows and display. Setupįor QEMU and VirtualBox, they run MS Windows 2000 in the VM with 256 MB of memory and 800×600 24 bit display. I’d also like to investigate myths/rumors saying that QEMU is faster than VirtualBox, Cedega is faster than QEMU, etc. ![]() Anyway, benchmark would also be a good idea for comparisons. Particularly, Cedega is good for 2D/3D games because of its advances in DirectX API implementation while Crossover focuses mainly on office and productivity applications such as MS Office, MS Outlook, IBM Lotus Notes, and Adobe Photoshop. Some application may not be able to run at all. This technique allows Windows applications to run at near native speed, but this may not be 100% compatible. They reverse engineer those WinAPI and rewrite to run on Linux. WINE, Cedega, and Crossover are a kind of WinAPI implementations. This means there are much more layers of API/libraries/vm to pass through before an application could actually grab (physical) CPU to run and this may be slower. QEMU and VirtualBox uses virtualization technique, you need to install a full OS inside the VM, so they should give you the best compatibility. Still, there are differences among them and each has pros and cons for a particular applications. I redid the entire VM thinking it was an windows problem, but the symptoms persisted.Well, these five apps could run Windows applications. rdesktop has this weird behavior that sometimes it simply won't take any input for whatever reason.RDP with remmina is the best experience except if you need to Ctrl-C something, then the client will freeze for 5+ seconds (they closed the ticket for inactivity after ignoring it for years) after a few hours of work.virt-viewer has file sharing (not all file sizes work though) and no lag but video is not smooth. ![]()
