    I disagree. Codeweavers are the main developers behind open source wine and I used their commercial products on my workstation daily. Crossover office has excellent compatibility these days and good launcher integration.

    "Steam" is just the game manager GUI / DRM protection layer that manages, validates and launches 3rd party games -- It's the games themselves that (may) require DirectX, but that has nothing to do with the Steam portion of the equation.
