O.K.
I have just read Richard Stallman's last article about his arguements for
GNU/Linux, so I can see the logic in your struggle.
I have two sons both university trained in computer science on Microsoft's line.
One is now working in the states and is fully Unix today, except when gaming or
Powerpointing. So the best product, from the consumer point of view, might be
crusial, as 'the best Hot Rod of the block'.
I just wanted you to make, what I thought, a smart move, not to leave the gaming
industry loosing money on Linux.
