Games are weird creatures. Always pushing the limits of hardware, and as a result making for quite the game of whack-a-mole for wine.

That may be true, but it is only a matter of time till most game makers begin testing their APPs in Wine, and making them compatible ON RELEASE. Then you will see many gamers rushing to switch to Linux. Aside from that, there are already several software products, besides WINE, than can already play most games right out of the Box. Some great WINE inspired products are: CEDEGA and CROSS OVER. You have to pay for these products, but 99% of the games I have played with them work flawlessly!

Most kids in emerging and modernizing future economic markets around the world are starting out with Linux. What will a United States look like in 20 years in a world where the rest of the world uses Linux, and the fatties in the US use Windows? A land of the Windows Tards will sure be an isolated land....

Comment No need for Windows anymore, unless you game. (Score 1) 907

Just install Ubuntu. Then download VirtualBox from www.sun.com. Then install XP or Vista within Linux and boot up only when you need to run something that requires windows, like games.

Spend your days surfing the internet on the Ubuntu side, safe in the knowledge that you won't get any viruses. Only load up Windows when you game. I have been doing this for 6 months now. Everything runs EVEN smoother than it did when I used Vista as my primary OS. Plus it is so funny seeing windows booting up within Linux as a B*tch OS. Windows becomes the Biatch of Ununtu. Problems Solved! :)
