Is Microsoft Crap?

No you can't play games made for windows OS, but there are some games made for Linux also and are faster by 15% then their windows version.

But another alternitive for playing windows games with Linux is by software emulation. There is a program which is actually a derivation of Wine (windows emulator for linux)
that supports 95% new games and keeps getting upgrades. Program is comercial, you pay monthly subscription like 5$ and then you can get every upgrade made.

From people on their forum I heard only good things about it.

What do you mean (what driver) ewm90 , I think that I don't quite understand your question. But i'll try to reply.

OK, if you are asking about the game "Driver" , the emulation program supports it.

Linux can exist on same mashine with any windows OS. And it has it's own drivers for all machine hardware. Installation process is easy as installing any windows OS.

That emulation program is called WineX (it's program for linux).
Visit homepage http://www.transgaming.org for more information (list of all supported games).


P.S. ewm90 your english is getting better.

Are you refering to Linux?. Let's get this straight. Windows applications CANNOT work under Linux OS. And that driver thing doesn't make any sense. Drivers are programs that make comunnication between hardware and OS software possible at all. And to make your own drivers for some piece of hardware you must know that hardware into details and be a good programmer too.
