After Internet Explorer 4's "Desktop enhancements" gave you an ad-filled channelbar way back in 1997 as well as shipping Windows 98 with it, it's hard to believe it it's false.
Slimfast and match.com is gonna be appearing on most I bet.
And before anyone claims Sony doesn't do this already, you've already got little promotional boxes and ads after you've booted up and automatically logged into your PSN on your PS3.
Even today you could still get drivers for their Rage line of cards.
And if it's about older hardware i.e. a retro XP system for playing troublesome games like Republic Commando, then this news holds no relevance.
Also Windows 7 can run a LOT of the stuff XP can just fine. DOS games play nicely in DOSBox (and XP's ntvdm sucks for DOS even with that VDMSound hack anyway). What DOESN'T play nicely is anything needing a fullscreen 8bpp video mode, which can be partially resolved by wrappers for DirectX, but that doesn't cover the rest of the games that just do it through GDI or *shudder* Scitech MGL. This was also a problem for earlier versions of Windows NT as it reserved 0 and 255 indexes, XP took a few more for the start button, and then Vista and 7 took much more.
it always misleads with picking "GNU GPL" or "Creative Commons" but not actually representing the said license in the work itself. I've seen a few of these on Sourceforge that only exploited the service only to provide redistribution of non-Free materials contrary to their license.
Comparing NES Lode Runner with NES Bomberman (both developed by Hudson)? Well... what about the original? Oh right, different developer (broderbund). Also I thought all of this was common sense by now, including id's reuse of Wolf3d's rock wall texture for quite a few games and Capcom's inclusion of zennys and Yashichis in everything. OMG THERE MUST BE A CONNECTION LIKE IT'S THE SAME DEVELOPER
and using DOSBox for them, a emulator designed for playing DOS games and not for precision-requiring industrial applications, is purely irresponsible and reckless.
SEGA does what Nintendon't - complete copyright takedowns of gameplay videos.
This is really sensationalism, all of this could have been prevented if there weren't so many naive LPers that click "YES!" on Youtube's random video monetization offers.

But it has Windows 8.

With the Wii and even the DS it's suprising it hasn't even been redone.
I always mean to extend and expand it, but.... even for Carmack it's pretty alien to him.
So Microsoft wants to sell advertising on your desktop now??
Greedy cocksuckers.
Channel Bar says hi.

Is there a Gearbox game that is NOT controversial?
And don't say Borderlands. *coughccough*codehunters*cough*

I don't see what's wrong with option A. It's not like there ever has been any practical gaming use for OtherOS anyway.
I thought Australian bandwidth caps were far worse, like 1GB a month...

......for Botox users.
It used to take less resources than Firefox, until 2.0 when it became "faster". :(
If you do this to Seamonkey.... then I don't know what i'm going to do.

The DOSBox forums are fled by incompetent IT pros that demand support for their old versions of dBase. It's rather depressing.
and not one comment with an Aliens Vesquez reference?
LCARS24*cough*
The replicator!!!
Since when was raising a firewall ever an accident?
if you launch a thousand of octopi in a capsule far off... Would that spawn the Orz?

What good's an online pass when they shut down the game's master server after a year?
