I'm not sure about that - I've only ever had the Linux version.

I use the RPM from Transgaming. You have to subscribe to be able to d/l it
though. You can d/l a version that you have to compile yourself. I've chose
to subscribe because I don't mind supporting a group that is bringing some
thing as useful as this to Linux. Also, as a subscriber, you get to vote on
what games/features to work on/add...
The general consensus seems to be that regular Wine runs non-games better, and
Transgamings' WineX runs games better. Generally.
A good thing to do is check out the games database on Transgamings' web site
and see what is supported. There are quite a few games there - but not all
games are supported.
HTH's... :-)
