This kid wants windows. I don't know why he says he wants to switch.

Come on! Look at this! Telling me to "Shut up!" is really not justified.  :(

Master of Reality:
ok... would you kindly shut up?

meh... at least he got an open mind... i think he will like Linux.

RudeCat7:
O.k.,
 I think he would Love Linux. But please understand (directed to noob) Linux is NOT windows.
And though it is great, and does everything we want it to do, it is NOT windows. And although it is possible to run windows programs with wine, and winex, it is not exactly easy. Settle for a dual boot, for now.

What beef do you have against microsoft?(noob)

psyjax:
Mac OS X  :D

Also, Mac is not a company, Apple is the company.

lazygamer:
Rudecat, I think you were being dissed because your too hard on the n00b.  

Ok Wine and WineX(haven't tried WineX yet) is really not plug and play. I tend to look at these as tools that Linux masters get after lots of hardwork mastering Linux and being a super user in general, only then can they have near flawless emulation of alot of wind0ze games. Is that a correct assertion?

Wine and WineX probably aren't plug and play because no one(yet) sees the need to make a version that is super compatible(and super easy to set up) for n00bs. I mean when your good enough to easily use these programs, you tend to not be concerned about new arrivals and live in your own little bubble of iniquity(not sharing your skills with desperate n00bs) in your Linux castle.  

I've tried some experiments with Wine, not heavily though. Out of curiosity I tried running a wind0ze SNES emulator on Wine(emulatating an emulator, nice and geeky, except im hardly a geek), runs fine(and slow, but that's what happens when you emulate emulation) but acts(the SNES emulator) like it can't see any configuration files for it(even though they exsist). If Wine was n00b friendly, I could just run the SNES emulator in Wine and it would automatically know of the configuration files in it's directory.

So I just say f0ck Wine, that is the tool of gods, im not a god yet.
