Every now and then I like to see if cedega has many any advancements, since they have a mission statement to bring games to Linux, things seemed fairly positive when I last tried it since the MMORG I no longer play (eve) worked perfectly and steam worked a little better.

However as of writing Steam source games do not work, I've tried lots of combinations and I have fully compliant hardware such as a nice nvidia graphics card.

Wine & Steam? Works very well, absolutely no lag on the steam GUI and games work. Albeit that there is a small performance hit but it's quite small but the main point is there, WINE WORKS.

So I think instead of paying some fee's to try cedega once in a while, I'll instead donate the same money to the Wine project and help those guys.

I implore anyone else to take the same strategy, though last time I was reading the transgaming website they noted how 'Microsoft knows how to throw a good party', of which I'm sure wine developers don't waste my money by sending delegates to party with Microsoft. There is certainly networking with people, but I highly doubt Microsoft will one day roll over and just hand out directx source code.
