Wine, Crossover, Cedega

[Andre Mangan]

As far as I am aware, Wine, Crossover and Cedega all came out of the same
egg.  Ideological differences separated Cedega from the other two.

Wine and Crossover still share the same address but Crossover calls itself
the commercial arm of Wine.

I am an advocate for two applications on the Crossover compatibility list.
The money it cost to "buy" Crossover I regard as a donation for support.
Even coders have to eat.

BTW, the term Crossover Office was dropped last year and was replaced by
Crossover Linux (or Crossover Mac, as applicable).

Windows with its DirectX, recently revised for XP, is currently the best
medium for game play.  Direct X 10 has been released for Vista and no doubt
game manufacturers will code their future offerings accordingly or make them
compatible with either Direct X version (as with Lost Planet: Extreme
Condition).

Perhaps the only solution is to grow up and stop playing games - something I
refuse to do.

My solution is to keep a copy of XP on a separate hard drive, only accessed
for game play.  This copy has no internet access and has been pared down to
bare essentials.  Games for XP will be around for years to come.
Manufacturers of games want to sell their products - to make Vista games
only would be financial suicide.

Cheers,
Andre
