Many of my favorite games are from the Windows 98 era, and many of them don't even install on Windows XP. On the other hand new games work only on XP, not the old out-of date Windows that I only have a license for.
With Cedega and Wine I can emulate both Windowses and these games will continue to work for years to come as long as Cedega and Wine are supported. Wine at least will probably live forever and at some point perfectly emulate Windows up to XP level.
Meanwhile, in the future with my kernel 3.0, many of the current binary-only native Linux releases will cease to work, since propriatary games are never supported for a long time. Then I probably have to use a virtualized old Linux installation just to play them..
