Re: Key Medical Workstation Client Runs on Linux
by Anonymous on Tuesday April 05, @06:12PM
That is incredible and hopefully, the few "issues" remaining will get fixed soon. The next step then would be to move the entire client code off of the proprietary Windows operating system design( or APIs ) and to something more appropriate for an open source project. Not to mention, with all the different kinds of devices out these days, being tied to Windows is NOT an advantage.

Having noticed that both Lindows/Linspire applications and Mitch Kapors Chandler application all are using Python with Qt bindings, that might be a good starting point. There is also Java to look at since that is on almost every phone shipping these days. All though, it's in a much limited version. Heck, Tivo and the HomePod consumer applicances are even running Java....

So hopefully, getting the VISTA client running on Linux under WINE will be just the start of enabling a whole new set of client devices. :-)
