It supports ten years old software! You're much better of with a VM.

Steam is brand new and current ;)

Bordeaux will also run anything that Wine runs, we have a cellar manager e.g bottle manager so you can install unsupported software into its own prefix or a existing prefix if you wish to do that.

I think that alone makes this project, wine and crossover worth pursuing.

Oh and isn't Win 7 $199 and this is $20.Edited 2009-06-27 13:30 UTC Sat, 27 Jun 2009 13:24:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Gone fishing) Comments missing description http://osnews.com/thread?370611 http://osnews.com/thread?370611 Yet another article not mentioning what the program does.

Sure they do:

"Bordeaux 1.8 now runs on Linux, BSD, Solaris and Mac."

It runs. :-PEdited 2009-06-27 20:17 UTC Sat, 27 Jun 2009 20:16:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (sbergman27) Comments RE: missing description http://osnews.com/thread?370621 http://osnews.com/thread?370621

Quite so, I then spent a couple of minutes browsing their site and came away none the wiser.

They are not alone. Just a simple plain language outline of what the software does - would really make sense.

It might also help generate revenue. Sat, 27 Jun 2009 20:21:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (ameasures) Comments RE[2]: missing description http://osnews.com/thread?370628 http://osnews.com/thread?370628 About Bordeaux:
