Cedega (formerly known as WineX) is TransGaming Technologies' proprietary fork of Wine (from when the license of Wine wasn't the LGPL but the X11 license), which is designed specifically for running games written for Microsoft Windows under Linux. As such, its primary focus is implementing the DirectX API.
The community has managed to keep Wine in touch with developments in Cedega; many of the games and 3D applications perform almost as well as when natively running under Microsoft Windows.
WineX was renamed to Cedega on the release of version 4.0 on June 22, 2004.
