TransGaming Releases Cedega 4.1 56
gavriels writes "Today, TransGaming released Cedega 4.1, a new update to our software that lets Windows games run on Linux systems. The new update adds support for Far Cry and Anarchy Online, and implements a completely new 3D pipeline which executes the traditional Direct3D Fixed Function rendering path using dynamically generated OpenGL vertex programs, providing great performance improvements on cards with sufficient vertex program capabilities. We also added MMX accelerated sound mixing, fixed copy protection issues in several games, and improved Pixel Shader support, among other things."

If that's what you meant to say, then I agree. I firmly believe that games are what drives the state of the art in a lot of areas - graphics being a big one, but gamers are usally worried about performance issues as well, and it's nice that you can eliminate a lot of bloat with Linux. I mean, seriously, who buys matched 1GB pairs of DDR3200 or $400 video cards to use office apps?
No one, I hope.
There's a lot of gamers who would use Linux as their primary desktop, if they could only know that the new games coming out would be able to be run with their OS. I know I would use Linux in a heartbeat as my main OS, but I'd be stuck playing nothing but ID Games and Neverwinter Nights. Good games, but variety is the spice of life.
Get games released for Linux, or make a foolproof emulator, and I bet you'll see the number of people using Linux as their primary desktop go through the roof.
