yes and no. The thing is, I like playing games, I see plenty of good ones that run on linux natively. I have the patience to wait for a port, or something similar. I usually don't give in to the hype of a game anyway. (explains liking Diablo II right? not) But I do like Unreal over any Quake game...I see better attention to detail in Unreal. Anyway, Linux gives me all the entertainment I need, and all the power I need for my other stuff. If I want to play games and only games, I will save myself some money and buy a ps2.
Personally, I'm not all that interested in winex. I use wine to run Diablo II and LOD, but that's the only windows game I need. I have several games that run native to linux, and barely have enough time to play them. I'll support the good people who support linux directly. Sure, I have plenty of other windows games, but it was my choice to not run a windows box, and I'm sticking to it...and it really isn't that hard.:-)

exactly... If you want windows games, run windows. You don't even have to dual boot....hardware is cheap..........
