However, here is the catch, CPU virtualisation is available, but not GPU virtualisation to full extent. This video is quite old too, see the DX 8.1 logo. Again, shows how much Apple has to depend on MS technologies to survive (DirectX)

All Windows games made with OpenGL will run on Linux.....with some slight modification to maybe the sound, & input output engine

However, direct emulation of DirectX will not be possible with DX 10 due to WDDM, all DX 9 games can be emulated though with direct connection to the GPU, bypassing the host OS

I used a fair bit of Windows 98 in my time. Never really liked games. I have played NFS 2SE, though. I was always more interested in reading(still am) and writing. I always used my free time in reading and wasting time in Cricket coaching. I'm 20 now, so I don't think I'll ever be a gamer. More work and more studies to follow very soon.

Wrong. The only game I play well is Cricket. In the real world, I mean. However, not everyone knows what it is like practicing in 45 degrees heat. :)
