    This is just the stuff to get my friends to switch over to Linux. They can't be stuffed to move from Windows, because currently it supports all their games, comes free with their machines, and is user-friendly and familiar.

    Way to knock off another barrier, Transgaming.

    Linux gaming is like the last car to qualify for the race, the ground needed to catch up is so grand... there is no way in hell it'll ever come in first. The best drivers are still up against the odds.
