Either today's moderators have no sense of humor or they like little girls
On the poll that Westwood are running on their Earth and Beyond Online site, their ae some very interesting results :
What operating system do you have installed on your primary gaming system?
- Other 5112 23.51 %
TOTAL 21747 100.00 %Thats almost a 25% market share that this Windows only version will be missing out on :/
Will there be a Linux or Macintosh version?No.
It's a shame really! Why do some companies instantly dismiss making Linux version's of games? With SDL etc. and the speed of computers nowadays, not developing for Linux is quite imho stupid. Thank heavens for NeverWinter Nights \o/

Jar Jar is important to the story line
Microsoft Internet Explorer is important to Microsoft Windows.

Yes, it is unstable, it has no security inherent in its design and it gives users almost no control over its behavior, but had it not been for IE, there would be no file browser in Windows XP or ME, or Start Button even. After all, the file browser depends on IE.
If Qui Gon and Obi Wan had not stumbled across Jar Jar, they would never have gotten transport to the naboo city, nor would they have cannon fodder types to fight the war with the battle droids.
If Microsoft had never integrated MSIE into Windows, we never would have had a way of downloading files or accessing the Internet from Windows computers.
The trade federation would have won, and the evil sith schemes would have prospered...probably would have started the elimination of the jedi a few years earlier
The Internet would have collapsed, and geeks suffered...probably we would have started moving away from computers a few years later.
So, next time when you bash jar jar, realize that he is important to the story
So, next time when you bash MSIE, realize that it is important to our livelihoods.
May we never see th
