Admirable intention. I do the same with Codeweavers (X-over
plugin). I agree, it's a 'stopgap/transitional solution'. BUT, what
I use/support most of Codeweavers wine/X-over for, is beginning to
have native Linux support.

I don't care for games much, but I do need a flight simulator.
FlightGear just doesn't cut it (yet). I dual boot W98 soley to be
able to run FS2000. I'd like to try FS2002, but I'm damned if I'll
give His Billness one more nickel for M$ B$. AND I highly doubt
Uncle Billy plans to port M$ Flight Sim 2002 to Linux, and/or make it
OSS/GPL. If he did tho, I'd buy it in a NY minute ;>
