"We are excited to offer Cedega at CNR.com as we continue to build our gaming ecosystem for the desktop Linux marketplace," said Larry Kettler, President and CEO of Linspire. "We have a longstanding partnership with TransGaming and look forward to more product offerings in the future."

Cedega enables Linux gamers to play Windows titles on their Linux OS. Triple-A video games such as Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Battlefield 2142, World of WarCraft, Madden 2007, Civilization IV and many more, can be played on Linux using Cedega.

Cedega provides the gaming experience along with all the Linux capabilities users have come to rely upon without having to reboot their computer to Windows to play. Cedega's remarkably intuitive GUI enables Linux gamers to do things that are impossible on Windows. With one action, users can set configurations across every game they have installed. Updating, deleting, moving, and even troubleshooting of every game is accessed from a single, easy-to-use interface.

cedega's been around for a while

If Wine won't run it, Cedega won't be much better. You might as well buy a copy of XP and dual boot for that price.

Cedega is not new and not emulation

**edit**
It's also way less expensive than that site offers it for. Transgaming puts out cedega for $5/month. Is this advertising for some scam site that sells others' software?

Crossover Games is better, and cheaper.

mrtn400 · 05-16-08

Cedega has been around for at least 2 years (and probably a lot longer), plus if you get it off of their site it's only $5 a month.
