The more I delve into linux, the more I wish I'd bought more of my software for the mac platform. If it runs well in 3d, I'll probably never go back to windows native booting. I'm going to try out my AC10 in VMWare player within a few days, on SUSE v11.0 64bit running winXPsp2 32bit image. I've not tried OSX or anything yet (I only have AC for x86, so it would just be for fun). I've read about that one can virtualize any OS, esp running VMware or similar from a BSD distro. I stopped trying 3d apps some time ago simply as the performance was lacking, but for everything else it's fine or even better than native windows booting, IMHO. I find it's a simpler solution than system restore: when something goes awry, I simple return to a snapshot or the original image file. I've been using my winXP as an image for some time now (maybe this is the way to run windows for the future more and more!) on my SUSE partition. For that alone I hope MS sinks with concrete shoes on. But Ubuntu is FREE so no more license issues or paying a firm that tried to pass Vista on it's customer base and developers. this time 2009 will see virtualization THE SOLUTION to less than premium OS's of the past, without the need for end users to upgrade or change their old software if they don't want to.īy the way, so far everything runs quite fast, as a ghost OS within Ubutu or SUSE. No need for direct BSD or any linux code for AC anymore- within a year the coders will have ironed out the 3d issues with FPS and speed I imagine. That way, it is irrelevant if an app like AC uses windows API's. I think it will run fine, with the exception of the 3d window- which undoubtably will be significantly slower, even with a x9xx GeForce card. I'm using SUSE and Ubuntu 8.04 right now, and I'll probably try VMWare-ing (sorta/similar to like Wine) my current OS to run it in a virtual machine as a guest OS inside my SUSE or Ubuntu.
