| CrossOver is an enhanced version of the Open Source Linux project
| Wine, which makes it possible to run native MS Windows applications
| on Linux. Many Windows applications can be run on Linux in this way,
| including Microsoft Office 97, 2000, 2003, and XP, Microsoft
| Outlook, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Microsoft Project, Microsoft
| Visio, Adobe Photoshop, Quicken, Quicktime, iTunes, Windows Media
| Player 6.4, and Lotus Notes 5.0 and 6.5.1.

| Cedega is a commercial off-shoot of the Wine project and enables
| DirectX and other Windows graphics intensive programs, so that
| many of the popular Windows games can be played on Linux. Cedega
| is based on the open source Windows emulator Wine, but it is not
| free software and is licensed under BSD. A monthly subscription
| fee gives users access to the latest versions.

| Being from the same artists, Quake4 suffered the same dark
| atmosphere at higher qualities. Thus most of my screenshots didn't
| turn out well, as they rendered even darker than they appeared
| during gameplay. However, the game itself was extremely fun and
| performance from the livedvd was amazing.
