Hold on fanboy, you''re talking badly about the defenders of the free world here!

"Every company is into money. "Being into money" isn''t a MS-only thing."

There are differences between M$ other companies. It''s not just the fact that they are disgustingly beyond wealthy but the evil way they carry themselves and do "business" with other companies is just not cool. Back when we cared about our country we would''ve boycotted a company like this, who patronizes it''s own customers and stifles competition. We WERE supposed to have laws against monopolies but they seem to have bought the right to play monopoly .
Any way you look at it, there''s something to be said about a company who holds more money than our government.

"similar stuff could happen with OGL, it''s just that they have released so few versions."

You don''t use opengl, you''re talking out your ass. There is no "versions" per-se, just extentions. Opengl developers don''t need to download a 90MB installation each time something new comes out, it''s just a driver download.

Bull-shiz. They care nothing for their customers, only their cashflow and market domination.

Windows is about to die in case you don''t read the news. They are killing it with their new LongHorn release which will try to impose some anti-copy garbage "technology" and of course the usual array of M$-spyware and hidden users to keep track of every little thing you do. Prepare to start using MAC or Linux, everyone else will be..

I agree you shouldn''t reply since you''re from Denmark and that isn''t U.S.A. What do you care if M$ screws up our country? Say something useful about OpenGL then if we need to stay ON TOPIC so hardcore

"i think you''ll find that this will only hurt you if you chose to use pirate software"
I think you would find, if you read anything about it, that it will actually impact ALL CURRENT SOFTWARE including YOURS. They somehow expect all developers and users to embrace this new and unproven software protocol.

I have to disagree on other platforms doing the same. They are all going to laugh while M$ dies an unexpected, painful death. Especially the Linux crowd. Excuse me but who is there to force THEM to adopt this new technology?
