Windows Longhorn to make Graphics Cards more Important
Renegade334 writes "The Inquirer has a story about MS Longhorn and its need for better than entry level graphics cards. This is due to the WGF (Windows Graphics Foundation) which will merge 2D and 3D graphics operations in one, and 3D menus and interfaces that require atleast Shader 2.0 compliant cards. Supposedly it will really affect the performance of the new Microsoft OS." This has been noted before in the system requirements for Longhorn, but it would seem the full impact is slowly being realized.
Wow I got first post
First post w00t !!!!
How can anti-MS people *not* insult Microsoft when Microsoft seems so very intent in giving them every reason? Although, I must say that it has become so easy it's no fun anymore.
OS X?
Daily? Cmdr Taco told me he was cutting back to once a week...
I was going to criticize Apple for doing this, but I've learned that you can't do that here.
Whenever I want to feel like a victim, and really, who doesn't want to every now and then, I post cogent comments about Apple on Slashdot.
I typically get modded down for no reason.
Oh well, AC for me, and viva la differance, the petty petty differance...
He told ME he was cutting back from hourly! What a two-faced liar!
I, for one, welcome our new 3D BSOD overlords.
