New Transgaming WineX Release

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the gimme-games-dammit dept.

Thunderbird writes "Transgaming released a new version of WineX. Winex allows you to run x86 windows games and programs on x86 Linux. It includes allmost full directx support (up to 7 including direct3d). " I'm still skeptical of their business model, but I subscribed anyway in the hopes that The Sims and its expansion packs will work soon. They look legit, although I only own 2 windows program (The Sims, Diablo 2, and their expansion packs) so I don't have much to test it on.

    Something to try...for people who don't want to run winme/wmware.

    It lets you connect to your windows box or mac from inside linux and see
    and control the remote desktop. So you can have AOL client running on a
    windows box inside a window under linux.
