I've read about Mainsoft's new version porting tool MainWin. Does it really work and if does - what about performance of target application on unix?
Well, Microsoft uses it to port IE to Unix. So it certainly works for them. As for performance, well, it works by essentially porting Win32 to Unix, which gives a lot of overhead. It won't be as fast as native apps, and will likely use a ton of memory if IE for Unix is any indication.
