On Feb 21 Win4Lin announced its new Pro edition, saying Windows 2000 and Win XP applications can now be used safely by Linux users without fear of Microsoft's virus prone operating system affecting Linux computers. One part of the announcement is quoted as follows:
The idea is if you use Windows stuff (IE) only for your local work (you don't define a network interface in win4lin) you're safe. What they meant was that if you use IE from under win4lin to browse the net and happen to catch spyware&malware, it won't affect your linux system, it will only affect your Windows inside win4lin.
