I'm a recent convert to the Linux lifestyle, and I would like to get to a point where I rarely, if ever, have to boot into Windows on my machine. While I'm not a huge gamer, I do enjoy Final Fantasy XI. I would like to get it to run under Linux/Wine. According to the information from the AppDB, the only way to get FFXI working under Wine is to have a copy of the dxdiagn.dll from Windows XP.
That's fine, however, I don't have XP. My computer is ralatively new and came with Vista preinstalled. However, before I ask one of my Windows XP useing friends to send me a copy of their dxdiagn.dll file, I was wondering if I could just use the dxdiagn.dll file that is part of my Vista install?
Is the file the same in both versions of Windows, or do I really need to get the XP version if this is gonna work?

The versions are probably different, but it should still work.I'm a recent convert to the Linux lifestyle, and I would like to get to a point where I rarely, if ever, have to boot into Windows on my machine.
