However, if you don't have a legitimate license of Windows or don't want to use Windows you can still play games. On a console. Go buy a PS2, XBOX or Gamecube. Seriously.
Ok so you want to play games on your PC and not use Windows. Well then, you're in for some grief. It can be done. But it isn't perfect by any stretch of the imagination. Don't believe the hype as they say.
-The only really viable way to play Windows games on [Linux] is with [Transgaming's|http://www.transgaming.com/] [Cedega] product (what was once known as [
WineX]
). You can also use the stock ["WINE"|http://www.winehq.org] [Windows] non-emulator. But you will probably have less joy than with [Cedega]. Be aware that [Cedega] is a commercial app. It was forked off of WINE when WINE was [BSD] licensed. WINE is now [LGPL] so people can no longer do this.

Personally it has been a while since I used [Cedega]. I no longer subscribe to the $60USD/year 'service' so I can't test new versions. The games that I did get to run when I had a subscription were:
* Diablo 2 (with sound glitches)
