If my picture program ran on linux & if gaim or any other linux version of msn worked there... oh yeah... I'd never touch windows again.

I must say, he makes a very good point.

Well, Linux has the GIMP and Pidgin...

Wine is also developing at a very good pace. I can run Counter Strike Source with good frame rates on a Radeon 9800, A64 3500, Ubuntu box. I'm hopeful that Linux will eventually run all Windows programs better than Windows does. :P

I use Linux everyday, It's my main OS. I've never touched windows in over 3 years.
Surprisingly, even though it isn't supported. My games run perfect in WINE.
WoW, CS, Call Of Duty.
------- Ehhhh

ReactOS allegedly can use some EXE files. I still have to get around to testing this. Time to set up a virtual machine.
If we are going to be damned lets be damned for what we really are.

I've found WINE runs my shit at about 75% of what a Windows machine will. Also, the way it runs, just like windows can depend on your specs. If your popping a whopping 20fps in WoW, like I do on my shitty machine, the numbers where up to par.
My new machine, which kicks major ass runs it flawlessly. AMD X2 5000+ 2Gigs of ram 8800 gt.
Yuh!
