Paul Thurrott!! was this guy bribed by M$ sometime ago with a "laptop gift" :baffled:
I wouldn't call it bribing. People who helped in beta testing got laptops. I believe he gives a fair opinion.

    I was kidding when I said Paul Thurrott got bribed.:lol: But for some other bloggers, that's not the case.

    Knowing the impact bloggers have on the society, Microsoft gave laptops with vista loaded to some of the top bloggers, to get some favorable reviews not for beta testing. Who would not like if he gets a brand new laptop with the latest cutting edge software just for nothing. That's pure bribing.:angry:

    linux walath gamezzzzzzz bane. :(

    :confused: wena games bari OS thianawada ?

    Windows games are known to work on linux with emulators like wine.
    http://www.winehq.org/ but might be difficult to configure

    You can find linux specific games here:
    http://www.babytux.org/games.php
    http://www.linuxgames.com/
    http://www.happypenguin.org/

    If you like turnbased strategy Battle for Wesnoth is a must have. Even you don't want to play it on linux, try the windows version. You will be amazed by the length OpenSource game designers can go.

    I've not tried to configure warcraft on linux, I've only tried some windoze software for linux specially photoshop, after I got used to GIMP, I simply removed wine+photoshop from linux. :lol: :lol: :lol:

    Try this:
    http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/wine/62932-howto-installing-world-warcraft-wine.html
    http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/wiwimod/index.php?page=HOWTO+Warcraft3

    Did it help you ?

    There are two leaked patches called Vista Compatibility and Reliability Pack and Vista Performance and Reliability Pack. Search for torrents and you will find them.
