Among the new features in Cedega 6.0 is support for a number of new games, Shader Model 2.0 support, new FBO extensions support, and ALSA audio. Phoronix has provided a performance preview that has Doom 3 and Enemy Territory benchmarks from Windows XP, Windows Vista, Linux, WINE, and Cedega."

Because the redunancy of acronyms doesn't cascade to their derivative projects?

thank you, mr. stalin. we'll gas them as soon as we round them up!

Re:And...

[skoaldipper]

As usual, I'm sure their benchmarks were acquired from a machine with a very specific setup requiring hours of tweaking to get right.

FTA,

we had used a modest setup to better represent the systems of more computer enthusiasts that may be using Cedega or WINE. The motherboard was an ASUS M2NPV-VM with GeForce 6150 (+ nForce 430) integrated graphics

Modest setup? Representative? 800x600 for Doom3, 12 fps? By those standards, my kaleidoscope is the Cedega/Wine equivalent to dropping a real LSD wafer.

If it wasn't for games would there be any argument for Windows at all?
How about properly formatted /. posts instead of newlines randomly thrown around?

I don't think the

To more effectively karma-whore, you should first consider learning the base skill of paragraph-whoring :)

You got owned by the fact that you were too lazy to use the preview button.
