Buy a PS2 or a GameCube and play games like FFX and others you'll *NEVER* see on a Microsoft Box. The only thing WineX 2.0 is good for is those shitty PC FPS games.
If Transgaming hadn't it their prime objective to basically rip-off the work of the Wine Community, this move by RedHat wouldn't have been all that neccessary.

If you have to ask this question, then don't bother writing either Open Source Software or NON-Open Source Software for the OSS community because you have nothing to offer us.

Not really,because this trick depend on hardware features of cdrom drives. The data track has to be created in such a way so the drive can recogize it, otherwise it would be like it wasn't there or run the risk of creating a corrupt disk that *nothing* can read.
