Linux Gaming: Linspire and Transgaming Change the World


Interesting stuff here. This new software package is touting the ability to allow you to play hundreds(a hundred?) different win32 games on linux. This particular package is Linspire specific. There is a lot of talk out there in the open source community, about how this is pointless because it's not free, and goes against the spirit of the linux community...blah..blah.

The point is, that this kind of software has to get out there, and has to sell, to ever make Linux the desktop powerhouse it deserves to be. It is time for the Linux/FOSS community to grow up a little, and realize that it is still just a commodity. Not that I'm going to pay to try it out, but I'm a cheap bastard.
