This will convice my mom to switch to linux. good ol' FreeCell... she is at 20 000games Won last time i checked...
It still won't let me play solitaire on my PCC-box. Maybe it's written in x86 assembly for ultimate speed.............gfdtgjdtrshrdyg

5% Complaining about how your numbers didn't add up to 100% (even though it doesn't matter).

This is nice and all, respect to Transgaming.
But I just have to vent my concern over the lacking win64 support. The bit-gap between native win32/win64 and wine32 might be the final nail in the coffin for linux on the desktop.How small a thought it takes to fill a whole life
I don't subscribe because I feel that WINE is holding back the state of native application ports. ... You have a choice: emulate Windows ...
Do you even know what the acronym Wine stands for?
Now you're just asking for a flame war.
Will be 3.1 and then 3.11 and then 95,98,ME and so on ;)
yush
The release notes page won't come up... Hey, they're not emulating IIS on their server, are they?
Or not not emulating IIS, since Wine Is Not an Emulator?
so you never moved off of your DOS based OSs since all those thousands of dollors of programs you had for dos would not run in 2k/XP.
I am the Alpha and the Omega-3
Most people here don't have thousands of dollars in Windows software. They have thousands of dollars in pirated Windows software.
If you're talking the hardcore gamer -- the kind who subscribes to six gaming magazines, builds his(/her) own $4,000 box and argues over the merits of a higher framerate vs. higher screen resolution -- then yes, if Linux doesn't run $Big_Name_Game then they won't want to deal with it. But for Joe SixPack, who doesn't have a single gaming magazine subscription, it doesn't matter if they have Hoyle Solitaire, Spider Solitaire or PySol, just so long as it works. For that segment of the market, there is nothing wrong with Linux's native game support (it's the desktop experience, in my experience, that scares them away).
Since I can state with certainty that casual gamers far outnumber the hardcore gamers, we can worry only about the casual gamers, and let market forces take care of moving the hardcore types to Linux.
Do you like Japanese imports?
The WINE phenomena is peculiar...
Imagine that some guy has grown up with an oppressive, domineering, butt-ugly, and mean mother.
One night, he decides to do something rather independent -- something he knows that she would not approve of: He hires a hooker.
When she shows up at the hotel room, he hands her some of his mother's clothes to put on, douses her with his mother's perfume, and then he straps a mother mask onto the girl before he does his business.
Hey guys, if you're going to use Unix or Linux, use Unix or Linux.
You're creepin' me out.
