Linus Torvalds was right. Valve will save the Linux desktop.

...by emulating WinAPI

  • And nothing wrong with that, the classic Win32 API is actually quite decent, especially the small subset needed for games. And it has the incredible advantage that it doesn't change since Microsoft doesn't care about Windows anymore ;)

  • The funny thing would be for Wine to then extend the WinAPI, and software beginning to use that extension.

  • Heh, who cares. I can play games and my OS doesn’t spy on me.
