This is not a troll post. I don't think Linux will dominate the world as long as some games, like The Sims 2, doesn't work. Check out Transgaming for more information.
It may not be a troll, but it is off-topic.
Continuing the same off-topic-topic, I have a question: Are there figures on the percentage of PCs used to play games? I get the feeling most of the companies pushing linux are pushing it for business use, which suggests that the business market is larger...

I guess today is a passable day to die.
I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.

MontaVista's engineering department is absolutely the best place I've ever had the privilege of working. Really, really good people; clueful management (though I hear they've lost their VP of Engineering since I left -- that's a shame; I still haven't had a better manager); lots of opportunities to learn and do new things and come up with (and follow through on) R&D projects.
Not that my new job sucks, by any means -- I'm now the (pretty much only) systems-level generalist at a Java shop making a next-generation EMR system -- but it's not quite the same as spending ones' days hacking and debugging C (and Python, for some internal tools) surrounded by folks doing the same.
