Entrepreneurs, take note: here's how to promote a product. I'd never heard of Codeweavers before this. Imagine all the Digg & newsmedia coverage they're getting.

Main site has melted down due to traffic. Here's an article talking about what's going on:<p><a href="http://www.tuaw.com/2008/10/27/codeweavers-says-cheap-gas-free-software-tomorrow/" rel="nofollow">http://www.tuaw.com/2008/10/27/codeweavers-says-cheap-gas-fr...</a>

I'm still on the fence about CodeWeavers. A few great points have been made about the software which makes Windows emulation much, much easier but at the same time, their original code base came entirely from Wine; there's no GPL requirement to make it free, I kinda take the idea of using free code for profit as kind of a tightwad move.<p>But, they're free to do what they want with it, and this was not a bad move to at least give back to those who really jumped on the chance.

Since the site is down, can anyone explain the differences between the "Games" and "Pro" editions?

I have a favorite game which has very poor support under Wine. The CodeWeavers product may very well do a better job with it. If so, I can switch my personal box full-time to Linux. That would make me very happy.
