[edit] NPOV
Ouch! A half-inch of text on what the company is and what they do, and seven inches of unsourced and uncredited "controversy" sections, all added by one anonymous user when the article was first written. I've half a mind to stubify it now and pull all of that out, but I'd rather attack this a bit better later on, so I've added an NPOV tag for now. — mendel ☎ 18:13, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
- psh. I agree. Those two controversy sections would have far more encyclopaedic merit if they had some other more general information about the company. Unfortunately, I know too little about the topic to contribute to the article. B1oody8romance7 00:16, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

- It is somewhat unbalanced. Or at least light on the content and heavy on the 'controversy.' I think it would be wrong to remove the sections about the controversy entirely, since that issue does exist and comes up quite often in discussions about the company, with people having very strong feelings on both sides of the issue, but the article as-written sounds a little like sour grapes on the part of a WINE developer. There are some interesting things that could be written about the company, for one that the direction of development (new features) is influenced by votes cast by subscribers to the software. In other words, for about $50 you get the software and a one-year subscription to their forums, which allows you to cast a vote as to what you want added. After the year it's $5 a month. The interesting twist is that it's possible to purchase additional votes for an additional $5 a month, with the logic being that people who are contributing more to the development ought to have more of a say. This is also somewhat controversial, but to a lesser extent than the distribution policies. Perhaps this would better belong in an article about Free Software business models or something.

[edit] Other products
TransGaming produces other products. Come to think of it, I think the only other product is SwiftShader. :| --CCFreak2K 13:12, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

At the bottom, the last link is broken. Someone should find a replacement link for the information.
