I can't speak for most of those, but both Warcraft 3 and the expansion "Frozen Throne" work well enough under winex. There are a few oddities, such as the cursor being slightly weird, but the game (according to my son) is very playable. Network games (battle.net) also work. Kerry (my son) has not booted windows on his machine since we signed up for winex. Note that the version of winex we're using is the latest and greatest from transgaming... and you have to subscribe to the site in order to download this version. Subscription costs $5/month with a three month minimum (very reasonable in my opinion). Subscribing also lets you vote on which games they work on improving support for. For more information on what games are supported (and how well they're supported), check out transgaming's site at: http://www.transgaming.com/dogamesearch.php?order=working&showall=1 -jan- -- Jan L.
