Care to help me learn Wine?
Master of Reality:
WineX has directX and support for installshield built in. WINE cant play games that need directX is my understanding.
voidmain:
I have a better solution. Don't run Windows or Windows apps at all.
lazygamer:
I don't run Wind0ze apps, I run GAMES! Surely one is not a traitor if he chooses to stay half-microsoft just to feed his gaming addiction.
Well XP, I feel that someone who is extremely skilled with Wine or WineX could configure something to run good on it, but im not that person, at least not right now.
My theory is that you'd have less reason to boot into windows if you Wine could be configured to many games good.
But christ, I am very disgusted at Wine. They need a Winedrake or something. ;)
Ice-9:
Like MOR said, WineX provides a DirectX layer needed for some Windows games to run.
Problem is, it's not perfect (yet) and while many games run fine, many others won't run at all or will run but very buggy.
And well, staying away from Evil Bill's claws is reason enough to stay away from Windoze.
I can't see why people should bother installing proggies like XP-anti spy or researching which services are turned on by a particular Service Pack designed to spy on you and report which mp3's you listen to or if you watch divX movies.
Xpee Loser : we'll talk when M$ enforces their DRM shit and remove any "non-secure" multimedia functionality from your precious XPee computer :D
lazygamer:
Well Kudos to you guys for being morally strong enough to feel a HUGE surge of shame when using a wind0ze product. Others like me(some of the regulars are like me) realize that need for raw compatibility to supplement our master plan(their master plan actually, I still can't use Linux really good yet).
