If you want non-alpha software for running Windows applications and you are
willing to pay for it, hop on over to one of the following sites:

If you're looking for a more polished version of wine for gaming and are
willing to pay for it, hop on over to the following site:
http://www.transgaming.com



If what you want is a more polished version of wine for MS Office
compatibility and are willing to pay for it, hop on over to the following
site:
http://www.codeweavers.com



Lastly, if you want to try your hand at the latest version of (yes, alpha)
wine for free, hop on over to the following site:

Wine is Alpha software so your success rate for running Windows applications
will be hit or miss. By your post, it looks like you're interested in
gaming. That being the case, I would recommend the Transgaming option. It's
good software by a decent company at a reasonable price. It will probably be
your only option for getting WarCraft to work.

StarCraft on the other hand will work with the free version of wine - and
has for a long time. One caveat is battle.net which still has some font
rendering problems at last check.

Subject: [expert] Wanted to try wine


I've never run a windows emulator before and I wanted to see if I could get 
some Blizzard (StarCraft, WarCraft etc...) games to run under Mandrake 9.1

What I discovered is that 9.1 comes with only 1 emulator (that I've found 
so far) and it is a freakin Alpha.  We were not amused.

So.  What is the best way to do this?
