WineX Install Goes Sour for LinuxWorld Editor

jg21 writes "LinuxWorld's gaming industry editor apparently grappled with TransGaming's latest WineX release, now renamed Cedega 4.0, to such an extent that she "lost" half a day of her life. A trip to the Dark Age of Camelot site for a 7-day free trial ended in tears and installing Diablo II didn't go much better. Dee-Ann LeBlanc may have coedited Linux for Dummies, but she suffered more black screens than a multiplex during a power outage. Is the problem simply that she uses Fedora Core 2 - can't someone help her out?" Are these one-off problems, or symptomatic of a bigger issue?

Check out Joe Drago's impressions at OSNews. His story revolves around City of Heroes and an older game, namely Grim Fandango. His review is pretty much all positive. Here's an excerpt for those who don't bother to RTFA:

If you are a Linux user that is tired of rebooting for those Windows games, this is definitely for you, but you can't be afraid to help coax Cedega into playing your favorite games just right. I think that it's going to get better with each release.
