WineX does rock!
here are some games I got working on my computer:
Unreal Tournament
StarCraft
Myst

I also got other winblowze applications running such as my z80 assembly
comiler.I really enjoy playing the Unreal Tournament game since it ran more smoothly
on linux than on winbloze.  Windows was also missing a DLL file for this
game while Linux wasn't
If I can sneak the winex 2.0 from warren than i think I should be able to
play MaxPayne as well.......
