    You forget when it comes to running games linux is slower and the hardware has worse support.

    When they could just run the games on windows instead...

      That article is an awfully subtle joke, it took me a while to realise that no one could possibly make that many mistakes. :)

    Eventhough now it's unimportant to Linux users, it's a milestone! You have already seen how fast Linux grow. Imagine that 5 years from now, Linux will go on par with Windows in gaming. Later on, I expect that game developers will seriously consider Linux as a potential platform for their market.

  6. Mandrake is Going Bankrupt by mmgordon · · Score: -1, Troll
    Look at

    http://www.mandrakesoft.com/company/investors/trad e

    The total value of mandrake has fallen to $8 Million. The company will be bankrupt in a few months no matter what (their revenues are only a million or two a year... expenses: 100 employees x $100,000 = $10,000,000+ per year. BTW, by comparison Redhat is worth $678.5 Million.

    This is just their last stab.

    It was a great distribution while it lasted... and I was their greatest fan...
