[NTLUG:Discuss] VMware 5.0 (linux) supports DirectX in a Windows guest

[Chris Cox]

It actually works pretty good.  But like wine it's limited to
pretty much DirectX 7 for the most part.  Unlike wine, it
will pretty much handle anything that is purely DirectX 7.

I have some games that do weird DOS-isms... that won't
work.. but that might be an XP thing.

VMware timing problems prevent being able to run all
of 3Dmark2001, but you might have better fortune on that
than I (it's pretty configuration dependent).

My daughter has a copy of LEGO Island2 that I used as
my test... it ran flawlessly.
