Cedega vs Crossover Games - Hands on Review
Most people who use Linux for desktop use are well aware of the one of the largest issues facing the platform: Lack of commercial software. Now in most cases this is not an issue, no MS Office - use OpenOffice, no Internet Explorer - use FireFox. However one thing which there is currently no replacement for is gaming.
Which brings me to my topic at hand - Cedega & Codeweavers. What are Cedega and Codeweavers? They two (closed source) programs both based off of the Wine Project to create what it lacks - a user friendly interface. Designed to help you get your Windows games working with ease on Linux. They both have their ups and downs and today I am going to look at each program and see how they compare. I currently have both Cedega and Codeweavers licenses so all the information given is from first hand experience working with both products. I'm going to be judging based on following criteria:
1. Functionality - How well do they do what they are suppose to do?
2. GUI Front End - How do the front-ends between the two compare?
3. Website - Being able to find information is everything, how do the websites compare?
4. Customer Service/Support - If you are paying for a product you want to know you can get help with it if it doesn't work properly.
5. Fees & Licensing - How much do they cost and what are you paying for?
