That's one of the main reasons I haven't eliminate Windows from my house
yet. Far too many of the games that I've played over the years are
Windows only and some of those game simply won't perform as well in an
emulated environment.

Frankly, I wouldn't mind having a FreeBSD or Solaris system as my
primary desktop... Problem is that I just don't have the time to sit
there and mess around with trying to get Xen and the emulators tweaked
to run each game well.
