Exceed, last time I tried it a few years back (4? 5?) was slow as hell and
buggy too, while Xwin32 was much better and kept improving. AFAIK it's
$200 a seat, floating license for 10 or more is $100 a seat (we bought a
few in the past). it is VERY stable, even runs Enlightenment(!) w/o a
problem in the latest version. www.starnet.com


since I'm already taking space here on off topic stuff, let me add here a
paragraph, to express my condolences to the Royal Family in Amman on the
death of King Hussein this morning, a brave leader, an internet geek and a
plane lover I respected very deeply.
