* Marcus Meissner (meissner@suse.de) [020902 23:37]: :: ::WineX is optimized for games. No applications were enhanced. Optimized it maybe but it still runs Wintendo games..not Linux games. It will always lag behind because of DirectX crap and don't think for a minute that Microsoft won't play their little change this change that crap on everyone. As soon as the RedTape in the Micrsoft Corp. brain cleared up they removed the TTfonts. They exist to be a monopoly and if you think that's going to drastically change under King George Wubja..your mistaken. I never said that the WineX or Wine developers enhanced anything. But by being DirectX games they were written for the only platform that DirectX is native to..Windows. ::WINE itself has been greatly enhanced after winex has been split off ::to run applications better. (The whole CrossOver Office changes have been ::merged back in there for instance). I'm quite aware of what Codeweavers and the Crossover products are. I bought CrossOver the day it came out so I could run Quicktime. And ever since then I've been a little bit upset with myself for doing so instead of getting involved to patition Apple for a native version. ::WINE does not cost anything to try. ::WineX has a subscription based model, see http://www.transgaming.com. Wine costs everything I believe in..it runs Windows software. Plain and simple. -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org Tell me what you believe.. I tell you what you should see.
