Space Empires with Wine

I thought Wine was sued by microsoft for copyright infringements and the project halted?

I didn't see anything on the wine page about them being halted. The Last micro$oft lawsuit I knew of was between them and sun (for use and rights regarding java).

Maybe I'll try playing the game with wineX installed, though i don't know if the directX layer will help with it.

Once again, input (especially helpful input) is appreciated.

Wine and SEIV do not mix. I always loose when I try that. If you are going to make sure it is a "blood red" wine.

Seriously,
I may now have a reason to run a Linux box. Cool. I love to not use Micro$ponge when I can.

It might not have been Wine then, but I do know Microshaft shutdown a program company that was making a Version of Linux to be user friendly.

I think you are reffereing to "LinDos" or something. I thought it was still in court? No?

WinE is a (Open Source, IIRC) Windows emulator for Linux. Lindows is a commercial OS that supposedly can run both Windows and Linux programs. Microsoft sued the company that makes Lindows for trademark infringement; I think the case is still wending its way through the appeals courts, but I haven't followed it closely.
