SDK is a better term than OS. It's not WinCE on Dreamcast, more like a port of DirectX.
So developers can chose DirectX for Dreamcast or Sega's own SDK. 'WinCE' has proven to be an inferior choice for the DC, as the port of Sega Rally 2 using 'WinCE' fell far short of the Arcade version. The only other WinCE DC game I can think of is Armada, which aparently isn't too graphically intensive.
If Sega was willing to license the right to develop on the Dreamcast, and gave you the information required, there'd be no reason a game running on Linux couldn't be done, but that's kind of pointless, really.
It's really not my place to say things like Prozac = bad. It seems to have helped many people who couldn't seem to be helped by more traditional means.
What concerns me is the mass overperscription of these drugs. I'm worried that they will become a way for us to remove what we see as our personal flaws. It seems like only a matter of time until these drugs become available without a perscription. Until people take some prozac with their Cappucino to get by through the hum-drum of life. Pack in ritalin with the fruit rollups because most students would rather goof off than pay attention in school anyways.
I don't think there's some mass conspiracy. I just wish the people with authority would think twice before perscribing drugs to their patients. Does this person REALLY need this? Are there other solutions we haven't tried?
