I thought people double-boot just double-boot linux, so as to avoid this problem.

Demigod runs alright in WINE.

Having said that, I'm a linux freak and I still maintain a Windows partition simply for ease of use gaming.

Ah, that's a good point.  I'd think it wouldn't as well, as it requires IE7.

Quite the pickle, as everything else concerning Demigod appears to work fine, but you can't update it.

I did however find this:

"For now, at least, SDCentral provides the same functionality, works perfectly under wine, and is still available from this link: sdc.stardock.com/sdcentral_setup.exe"

from http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=13986

I don't know what SDCentral is or does, but this comment seems to imply that it can provide the same functionality as Impulse.  Maybe it allows updates.

bleh i cant get DG on that tool... how do you register it?
