"I can confirm that we're no longer working [with Lindows]," said CodeWeavers president Jeremy White. Mr. White did not provide anymore information regarding the breakup of His company and LindowsOS. When contacted, Lindows did not want to comment regarding the breakup.
Lindows OS would be a Linux distribution intermingled with code from the Open Source WINE project that would allow certain Windows applications to run without the need for an operating system from Microsoft. It's been a controversial product with Microsoft's vs Lindows legal issue and etc, Lindows has shown people that it will be a reality for users to run Wndows applications on Linux through their Preview Release for the Insider who signed up.
According to NewsForge "Whether or not the loss of its working relationship with CodeWeavers will affect Lindows remains to be seen. It's likely that the Open Source implementation of WINE will continue to be a major part of Lindows OS. As for CodeWeavers, it hasn't given up looking for a partner. Said White: "We're still talking with many companies, about working with them to bring our products to their users, but nothing that's even close to what I would call definite at this time."
