Microsoft just convinced me to get Vista...

That would be WineX....and yeah, it runs some stuff ok. Very little in the grand scheme though. With regards to "emulating" Windows (If you wish to call an API layer emulation) it doesn't do a very good job there. What you're getting with WineX, is API call interception and recompiling, nothing more.

 

Vista won't be any better off, infact it'll be worse off with regards to games. The next incarnation of Windows (Yes,, I'm already reading about Microsofts plans post Vista) will not be Windows as you know it......but rather UNIX with a proprietary GUI.

 

Anyway, enough babble. I was just stating that emulating "Windows" isn't what you're getting,  and Vista is enough of a stretch. You thought you had problems running your slightly older games in XP? Just you wait.....

yeah, sorry i forgot to add the X.

 

see my point is, since vista requires so much processing power and such than linux to run in and of itself, then winex should be able to perform similiar on the same specced computer.

 

 

 

but worst case scenario? i'll just install vista to a small drive and use it when i want to play, and do everything else in linux.
