Gryph Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 i do not see a logical reason to switch to another OS, specially one that requires so much power to just work....<{POST_SNAPBACK}>They'll be a reason, they'll make something up.

Gryph Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 Well one of the big things they were touting, the WinFS file system, isn't even going to be in Longhorn.
alexis Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 yeah great, MS shouldn`t push its luck or everyone left in the home niche will be switching to linux, oh linux can´t be used for playing games, really? heh i thought you could play Doom III on it....
Gryph Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 You can play Doom III on it but not other games. Doom III uses OpenGL so it's easy to get it work on Linux. But I wish more games (all games actually) were compatible with Linux then I'd pretty much dump Windows except for emulation.
Elazul Yagami Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 I'd pretty much dump Windows except for emulation.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> linux has god damn good emulation.
Gryph Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 Is gngeo any good? The emulator I use most is Kawaks.
Agozer Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 Is gngeo any good? The emulator I use most is Kawaks.gngeo is very good, judging by my experiences runnig it on a friend's Linux machine. Even so, I still have not got the guts to go out and try any variants of Linux on my own. Maybe someday, but I'm not switching over anytime soon.
alexis Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 yeah i know about opengl and stuff but this makes it obvious that oyu can really develpe multi platform games, doom was among the first ones and hopefully many others will follow the example
Gryph Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 Yeah, unfortunately developers don't have time and money to make games for what is still a pretty small market. Most of them develop in DirectX environment. Maybe once WINE and Cedega improve then it would be cool.
James Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 (edited) I like Intel so thats what I will stick with. Plus Since I have no major problems with windows. I will get Windows Longhorn as well Edited January 15, 2005 by James
