Are Portal 2 and L4D2 the only games that do this? I have several games on
steam that I will play on windows 7, windows XP, and kubuntu under wine. If
they are signed to the system they were installed under, and will only play
under that system, I shouldn't be able to play them, and I can. Amnesia: The
Dark Descent was installed under XP, plays under kubuntu wine, and under win7.

One thing I did forget to mention about my system in my previous comment is
that all games (with the exception of Portal 2) were installed back when my
computer ran Windows XP Home 32 bit, which is presently no longer installed on
my computer whatsoever. (current OS are as previously mentioned, Win 7 Ult
64bit, and Kubuntu 11.04 64bit)
