Vista is awful of course, for many reasons. If we want to be fair
though, this article is cherry-picking the evidence reaaaally hard. In
any kind of fair comparison, Vista would come out far ahead of Wine

Of course, as far as DOS games go, Linux is the undisputed champion.
All hail Commander Keen!
