Merge from Win4Lin

I believe Win4Lin, which is closely related subject with no separate notability evident, should be covered in this article. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 20:42, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The AfD for Win4Lin just closed as keep and I've expanded the article with sources as well. I don't think it should be merged into this article. --Odie5533 (talk) 22:41, 14 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In what way are they closely related, other than both being emulators to run under Linux? There is no connection between the products as far as I can see. The range of operating systems emulated does not even have an intersection according to their respective articles. Merge is for DOS to Win 3.1 and Win4Lin is for Win 95 to XP.

Sorry, just saw it in the article, Win4Lin was based on Merge. Nevertheless, a merged article would probably need a new title to encompass them both. Merging into thids one "as is" does not seem like a good idea. Spinning Spark 22:45, 14 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

So, are you against merging at this point? --Odie5533 (talk) 23:55, 14 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not entirely against merging, I just don't see any particular advantage in doing so. Spinning Spark 17:42, 15 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

So...

if Win4Lin bought the assets on NeTraverse, is SCO still selling the old product (pre-Win4Lin) or what? Someone not using his real name (talk) 07:44, 18 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
