WineX 3.0 Examined

Posted by michael on from the old-wine-new-bottles dept.

GonzoJohn writes "When I first subscribed to Transgaming's WineX 2.1 product last year, I was pleasantly surprised that nearly half of the games I had were supported to a degree. The games that did run ran pretty flawlessly. The games that didn't work had varying degrees of success, all just short of actually being able to play the game (the installers seemed to work). With the release of WineX 3.0 from Transgaming on April 17th this year, it looked like it was time to revisit the wonderful world of Wine. This time around, Transgaming WineX 3.0 has some new tools as well as improvements in the number of games supported and gaming speeds. In this article, we're going to take a look at the new features of WineX 3.0, with a focus on their new GUI installer called Point2Play."

    Heh. A +5 Funny comment with the subject as "+5 Funny?" Yes, I'm sad. But I've also had less than two hours sleep within the past 33 hours, so I'm probably excused :)

    You know, sometimes I wish slashdot would sell cds of the archives, just to analyze things like how long does it take for an already classified joke to become "old".

    No!, not to know how long can I karmawhore, I'm REALLY curious...
