Actually, back on WoW on linux, you can run it pretty bloody smoothly with just wine (though you /have/ to hand-edit the config file to use opengl instead of direct3d).

It's a tough battle, yeah, but it's starting to pick up, what with Doom 3, the UT series, and other popular first-person shooters moving to Linux because their developers spend the extra time to do so. After all, the primary reason I bought Neverwinter Nights was because it has a Linux executable, even if it is buried in their website.

It's very true. The only reason that I keep my Windows machine around is for gaming. If Linux was a good option to it I'd be all linux all the time. My worry is that there's a big move on the, Games for "Windows" movement. I suppose the main question would be this, does MS have enough pull to keep it from happening?
