    Nice find thanks, downloading as I type. What's the catch (if there is one)?

    None i can find.. :) I've looked, read everything. I'd say the catch is next year, when you want to keep it, you'll have to pay €51. Hopefully by then, it'll be cheaper/free/a lot more software will run natively..

    Why not just Run Windows Software/Games on Windows ?

    Windows costs money, I suppose though this service costs €51 per year so it would be probably cheaper in the long run to buy an windows license instead

    The catch is this won't work 100%.

    Which specific feature in what application or game won't work, in your experience?

    Anything demanding like modern AAA directx games won't work properly. Same with WINE (http://www.winehq.org/). This software just looks like a wrapper around wine tbh.

    Games that use OpenGL will probably work ok, but these games usually come with a linux version anyway...
