I understand perfectly. I have been using Linux since 1997, and the only thing I use Windows for any more is for the strategy games. I do *every* thing else in Linux. It would be nice if I could get the games working in Linux - or better yet, to get quality strategy games ported to Linux. I don't do much gaming, but now and then (when I need a break from coding web pages, or whatever), I like to fire up MOO2, or some Star Trek game. I don't want to spend the money on VMWare, and I am waiting for Bochs to mature a little more. If it wasn't for those games, I would not even bother with Windows.
