Linux Versus Vista Compatibility

Wasting Time With Mike And Ari recently wrote an interesting comparison between Linux and Windows Vistafor playing older Windows games. Whilst the study was more than a little biased and perhaps not technically sound, a more complete attempt is likely to follow in future.

Personally, as a Linux gamer I don’t really care what does and doesn’t work under Vista. However, I’m still a firm believer that in the long run, more Linux users and Linux gamers can only benefit the scene in general, and “It runs more games than Vista” seems a pretty good counter argument to the usual “I won’t run Linux because I can’t play my games”. It’s common for us to look at the games Wine and Cedega CAN’T play, this is a nice reminder that actually, compatibility is going pretty well.
