That day will be pretty far away in case everybody thinks the same as you.

Frankly, I'm sort of sick of the seemingly universal "Linux == free" mentality.
Yes, M$ is evil (very, actually), yes, they earn way too much money,
but who exactly taught you to apply the same principle to Linux companies ??

Besides, did you know that there's a pretty remarkable difference between the
company producing VMWare and the companies working on Wine ?
Guess what that difference is ?

Well, bad news: you'll have to use the Transgaming version, I'm afraid.

P.S.: no, I'm not a TG employee. I'm kind of an employee of the "other"
company in this field, though...
(of course my opinion is not in the least related to me having anything to
do with them)
