Re: Games on a Redmond virtual machine.



This is absolutely not TRUE. Why ?
Listen me: wine can install many games...but....how many games wine can run correctly ?
example ??? an old game as starcraft don't run in BATTLE.NET and many games don't run so nice. So, if you tell me that play with wine is good without sound without graphics without the best things for a videogamers......

IMHO.

I'm really surprised people are over-engineering this as much as they have
been... you really don't need a full blown VM for 90% of the software out
there for Windows.  For that 90%, Wine more than handles it.  For the other
10%, it's probably too much trouble to be worth maintaining compatability
given the dying nature of that legacy platform...
