freesoftwaremagazine.com — Linux does everything: transluscent windows, themed borders, virtual desktops, widgets, automatic integrations of Plug'n'Play devices... And yet it's lacking an important, even essential, component without which it will fail: games! Will this ever change? Or will it kill it?

Of course, many games will run in DOSbox and Wine, so, you can get many of your (older) Windows games to Linux.Robin

Only bad thing is... uhh... Well me and haroldx over there we talking about how Vista will suck ass if your computer can't display the new visual additions. It will look like be like retrogression. From XP back to commnd line ran Operation System. :o

What I don't understand is why can't developers make games that work on both platforms. I've *love* Linux (although I ironically have only installed it once but had to remove it because I had messed up my Windows partition) but the only thing holding me back is that fact that Linux has nowhere near the gaming support as Windows. I am not a die-hard-core gamer or anything, but I love to play some CS:S or something every once and a while, and if Linux supported this then I would delete windows right now. No joke
