Wine vs. Windows XP SP2 benchmark

<< < (3/3)

noob:
I had the origional HL1 on cd, then my cd drive buggered and the disk has nice big scratched round it. Is it illigal for me to now go and download off LimeWire and use my serial number to play it? I see it as legal as I payed for it, and the origional got damaged, so i still own a license for it.

It's legal to do that in my country.

H_TeXMeX_H:
I think that should be legal ... you can do that with Guild Wars ... just download the client and use the serial code you paid for ... you're pretty much paying just for the serial code, so I see nothing wrong with downloading a game that still requires a serial code to play ...

Pathos:
I think the only advantage windows would have over wine would be the graphical over head from memory to screen. Windows has more mature drivers and directx implementation (of course). Its not very clear if they are using opengl or directx in someplaces. I would expect windows to hammer linux with directx because its handled at a lower level.

I suspect that all the tests are done with opengl which is stupid because there are many windows games that only have directx support.
