I used this on Windows for some time.. then I've found out that it's index was occupying 600MB of my HD!
On Linux I'm happy with my " find / -name 'whatever' ":P
PS1 emulation is almost perfect, at least the most important games (Square RPGs, Silent Hill, Resident Evil, the big hits.. ) are 100% emulated. For the PS2, I don't think that there'll be a computer capable of emulating it for a some time, the graphics are already as good as on the console for some games, but the speed is still too slow to be playable. As for the DS, there are already some good emulators out there, but without a stylus.. there's no fun.
And Wine is not an emulator, it's a port of the Windows API for Linux. Cedega can run a lot of games at the same speed as they would run at Windows.

Blizzard was always very innovative, Warcraft was one of the first games of the genre, Diablo introduced the "point and click Hack'n'Slash" gameplay (today followed by all korean MMORPGs) and Starcraft 1 is still one of the few RTS that managed to have 3 totally different races well balanced...
I was expecting a lot more from SC2 than just shinnier zealots.. I hope they still have some tricks under the sleeve.

"A delayed game is eventually good, a bad game is bad forever."
indeed.. a Neo Geo game is not much bigger than a N64 game.. I don't think that would be a good reason for a HDD.
It's useless to keep putting more cores into a processor when we still don't have a decent parallel programming paradigm.
80 cores is an absurd number, with the parallelism level that we have in today programs, most of the cores should be idle most of the time.
It's been 2 years and the DS is still on top..
as long as the Wii keep getting good games, it won't fade out.
..going to a restaurant and asking the other costumers: "So, where do you people like to eat?"
