Reply With Quotei cannot confirm that microsoft money 2006 works with wine, but i know that photoshop elements does! For your games, youll want to consider cedega over wine, and while you can install it for free, its a pain in the ass, you may actually consider purchasing it.

Ubuntu?
Hey, I'm thinking about switching over to Ubuntu and just using WINE to use windows apps, games, ect.
I was just wanting to know if Microsoft Money 2006 works with WINE? Also, I've found a site on how to get steam working with it (all I really play now is counter-strike) and i was wondering, is there a performance increase? I've heard there is but I still want to ask...
Oh and how hard is it to install WINE? I have little experience (installed it, used it for a while) with Linux so im not to sure on what I'm doing...

I would be trying wine before purchasing cedega, since the new versions of wine support d3d and actually run some games better then cedega.

why not dual boot your machine rather than using wine?

I wasnt aware of this, and as soully said, duel boot is a pretty good idea if you want the best performance.

Hm well mainly counter strike. I saw on another forum just regular wine would work better for steam games. I also saw an increase in Warsow, but this is probably because this game was release for windows and linux...I've tried it with StepMania and it seemed to work fine, one game I can't get to work though is WarRock
So yes, I am using just plain old Wine
