It is interesting...But I have to say: The *one* thing that really bugs me about it is that it seems to be written under the assumption that the highest-end hardware that's *sitting around on store shelves* is the only hardware that's relevant, or even exists. It makes the whole thing feel uncomfortably ivory-tower when reading through it. Even a simple *acknowledgment* of the distinction would have made a huge difference. But the way it's written, it makes him sound like (and for all I know, he may very well not be like this at all), but it makes him sound like "CliffyB", or Tim Sweeny, or some other such graphics-whore, "in bed with MS, NVidia and ATI" jackass over at Epic (Epic used to actually be respectable back in the "MegaGames" days...).
