Because Linux doesn't exactly have great alternatives for everything. Its because of Wine that many people use alot of Win products on Linux anyway and if it weren't for it there wouldn't be other products like Cedega or Crossover .

:eek:I don't feel so

Think Zen.
krazy kya ? Cedga is almost as costly as windows, and along with it there are all those issues and crashes along with performance drop due to increased work of translating directx to opengl. Its much better to get yourself a cheap windows version, strip it naked and remove everything thats unwanted including internet explorer and wmp11 (and the file browser if you are comfortable with command prompt navigation) and tweak it like hell and use it as a gaming only OS.

you could always compile it from cvs.Only thing u wont get is the Point2Play gui i think

Just cause you don't feel so doesn't mean its not true. There quite a few alternatives making strides to replace / substitute other Win programs but there are some which Programs which you just cant. Read this months editorial you will get a better picture at what I'm trying to convey.

its still not worth it if you want to run games which squeeze your GPU and are directx only.

This is an example of Linux running a game in Wine which would make old systems cry. Nonetheless it does run with some drawbacks like a bit of lag and bugs. However fi you are a hardcore Gamer who prefers games like Crysis with 80+ frames . You should not be on Linux unless its a game natively built for it. Theres quite a few Linux servers out there in the gaming field also.

What toolkit are u using? What language? The program you have designed does it have Windows based components? Are Using ,NET or similar Microsoft product.
If you are using .NET or likewise it is highly improbable that it will run in Linux and even if it will, yours users would not enjoy to run it in Linux.
If you want a cross-platform toolkit use Qt.

.net also runs on linux if you export it via the mono project.

But yes, QT is the best option for such projects because it runs on three main enterprise platform - Windows, Linux and Macintosh.(sorry Solaris, HP-UX and BSD. You guys are too unimportant to qualify he QT compatibility :p)

if you are a gamer then stick to windows, linux is not for gamers:)
that is absolutely true. the number and varieties of games for windows is too huge. i suggest you dual windows and linux using seperate partitions. also you can make the windows partition fat (or even ntfs nowadays) so that you can access it from within linux for a quick listen to your favorite song :)

Not true entirely. Games run pretty well in WINE too. It has a long list of Platinum and Gold rated games (read: very well playable in WINE) and a gamer can enjoy playing games in Linux too.

Does Wine require windows license? I seem to recall vaguely that earlier, wine would require a windows license to legally run windows software.
