It comes with WINE I (still) haven't tried any games but MS Office worked (note its not *quite* up to CrossOver office standards). Its nice for a desktop system. But for doing development or as a server I gave up (though I'm sure you could configure it that way). The biggest problem I have with it is your default login is root. So anything you run runs as root. This has *got* to be the least secure version of Linux. However my gf does like. ::shug::.

I have wanted to give LindowsOS a try for a while but I just havent got
around to it yet. Does Lindows come with WINE? Have you tried any games?
