Press Release Summary = Publish any Windows application onto a Mac desktop with 2X
ApplicationServer's Mac client

Press Release Body = London, UK, 18 Sept 2006 - Mac OS X users can now run Windows
applications seamlessly on their desktop with 2X ApplicationServer's Mac client. 2X
ApplicationServer is available for free for up to 5 connections at:
http://www.2x.com/applicationserver/application-publishing.htm.

Until now, Apple Macintosh users could only run Windows applications using Windows
simulation software (e.g. Virtual PC). This type of software is typically difficult
to configure and only works with a limited number of applications. With 2X
ApplicationServer however, any Windows application can be tunneled from a Microsoft
Terminal Server via RDP onto a Mac desktop.

"With the 2X ApplicationServer Mac client, we want to address all those companies
that use Apple Macintosh PC's as part of their IT infrastructure and need to run
Windows applications on those machines. Now they can continue to use Windows
applications which are not available as Mac versions," said Nikolaos Makris, 2X CEO.
