    As usual, I'm sure their benchmarks were acquired from a machine with a very specific setup requiring hours of tweaking to get right.
    FTA,

    we had used a modest setup to better represent the systems of more computer enthusiasts that may be using Cedega or WINE. The motherboard was an ASUS M2NPV-VM with GeForce 6150 (+ nForce 430) integrated graphics
    Modest setup? Representative? 800x600 for Doom3, 12 fps? By those standards, my kaleidoscope is the Cedega/Wine equivalent to dropping a real LSD wafer.

    If it wasn't for games would there be any argument for Windows at all?

    To more effectively karma-whore, you should first consider learning the base skill of paragraph-whoring :)

    You got owned by the fact that you were too lazy to use the preview button.
