WTF?! That site says WineX is free! Ummm it does mention Transgaming though. Is there a difference between Code Weavers and Transgaming?

Errr I mean MS ignorance in general, as in what is in everybodies mind. I highly doubt MS would succeed if they didn't have the brainwashing thing going for them.

Sorry, too hardcore these days. I know you guys have learned to live with less gaming and more real-life, but not me.

You didn't just say something stooopid and backslap macs at the same time, did you?
You are gonna be sorry!
A real OS should not be based on games! By the way.

Oh? Well maybe not for the corps. I remember reading how the reason why Macintosh didn't have enough games on it was due to them marketing themselves as a serious buisness platform. I read this in 1996 btw. Now we all know that Macintosh failing to compete with the PC is NOT the reason they are not #1. It's MS buisness practices, and you'll never learn that anywhere besides MES or allied websites(because that counts in the conspiracy category). However in the early days, I doubt Wind0ze success wasn't driven by our moderen day zombieness, so Macintosh with an open for games message could of put a huge dent in MS early on(helping us out today perhaps).

I could agree with that. In '96 Apple had an add campaign aimed at convincing busnesses that Apple's were good buisness computers too.
But I don't think they were trying to re-focus their market tword buisness. I would say the game's issue is not as bad as it was before. Game's are coming out left and right now adays so it ain't to bad.
Gaming on the Mac sufferd a dryspell in Apple's dark period. When Job's came back and resurected things, gaminge began creeping back.
If you look at the early days of mac. I meen maybe up to like, 1992, Mac and PC were getting relitively the same amount of games, not necissarly ports, just the same amount. Belive it or not there were many Mac only games in those days! WOW! what a concept ;)
Whatever. I don't miss not having every FPS that come's along, my taste in games is very selective and luckely everything i like (with few exeptions) has come out for the Mac.
