WineX tackles the chicken and egg problem linux has been experiencing, if you cant grasp that...dont use it..stick with your few ported games.

Think about that again - let software developers the freedom to choose to add a linux port wheter they need one or not!

If we have binary emulation of windows apps more people will use linux, and if more people use linux more companies will port their product to native linux. but for the user winex is a really good thing, some companies just can't spend money on a linux port for this few thousand sales atm.
