It's called slipstreaming, and it takes all of 10 minutes. Maybe less, and that ten minutes might have included the time my CD burner took to rattle off a slipstreamed XP install disk w/SP2.
Also included in that 10 minutes is the time my CD drive took to copy the original XP disk to my hard drive.

Katmicino was taken from a famous song by Cat Stevens. It's also a small town(the name in the song)just South of Katmandu. I visited Intel in the early 90's and they has this song playing in the elevators and lobby.
I sit beside the dark Beneath the mire Cold grey dusty day The morning lake Drinks up the sky
Katmocino I'll soon be seeing you And your strange bewildering time Will hold me down
Chop me some broken wood We'll start a fire White warm light the dawn And help me see Old satan's tree
Katmocino I'll soon be touching you And your strange bewildering time Will hold me down
Pass me my hat and coat Lock up the cabin Slow night treat me right Until I go Be nice to know
Katmocino I'll soon be seeing you And your strange bewildering time Will keep me home
The concept of making an addicting game is easy; it's the execution that kills most devs.
I want a game with a great storyline and good graphics.
I don't want to spend $5 a month (on top of the $50 to buy the game) just to get updates on a game that should come with a complete story line right out of the box.
What's next? When will they start charging us for patches?
First of all, Formula One dwarfs ALL other broadcasts (save perhaps Olympics), including euro football. It has 380 million viewers in 202 countries every race weekend.
Ferrari do have the best cars on the grid (World Constructors Champions 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003; World Drivers Champions in 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003), but Williams and McLaren are catching up.
I have a Ferrari 355. While it is far from junk, its build quality can be considered 'quaint' in a few areas. It's also not that expensive to fix, although I do dread the bill if the engine ever grenades.
If you want to really be shocked, buy a low volume Ferrari with rare options. A 456 with auto trans has been known to give owners strokes when they are confronted with a 40k repair bill for a new TRANSMISSION.
Higher volume cars like the 308, 328, and (somewhat less so)355 have relatively cheap parts because there are so damned many of them. And, they are easy to work on.
Purchasing a Ferrari is never as rational decision as owning a Toyota Camry (which I also own), nor is it sensible at times.
But screw all that. It's about passion and not much else.
Ultra low visibilty drek pales in comparison to Ultra High Visibilty Drek like Daikatana and Battlecruiser 3000 AD.
Daikatana had a gestation period of 5 years; Battlecruiser 3000AD, seven years. I am still befuddled as to how something could take so long and yet be so poorly done as those two examples were.
With Daikatana, we had John Romero (I AM JOHN ROMERO LOOK AT MY HAIR LOOK AT MY BUTT LOOK AT...)promising to make us his bitch for the better part of 5 years. What we got instead was a lukewarm game that was 5 years out of date, and many good jokes about John, and the excess of Ion Storm.
Derek Smart gets the award for the crappiest game ever that had the longest gestation period. SEVEN years he worked on it, and in the end it was a buggy, unplayable mess and a laughing stock.
It doesn't surprise me when games like Big Rigs come out and are unplayably bad, as their gestation periods are quite small. They hardly register in the minds of many before they vanish into oblivion where they belong.
Games such as Daikatana and Battlecruiser 3000AD continue to amaze me to this day, for it isn't everyday in the PC games industry that so little has been done with so much.

It is presumably safe to remove unless you need to uninstall a service pack, or if that service pack requires files from the uninstall directory.

I've always deleted them after a few day's worth of testing, with no ill side effects.

I sit beside the dark
Beneath the mire
Cold grey dusty day
The morning lake
Drinks up the sky
Katmocino I'll soon be seeing you
And your strange bewildering time

Chop me some broken wood
We'll start a fire
White warm light the dawn
And help me see
Old satan's tree

And your strange bewildering time
Will hold me down
Pass me my hat and coat
Lock up the cabin
Slow night treat me right
Until I go
Be nice to know

And your strange bewildering time
Will keep me home
Simple....call them from a pay phone, 800 numbers don't require money for the pay phone since the company you are calling picks up that tab.
Also, they won't get your home phone number this way!
They have $42 IN CASH!!

They have spent more money on legal fees than they've spent on development of the console.

I'm playing the DEMO on a Duron 650 with 384 MB of RAM and a 64 MB GF4 440 (the cheapo DX7 and not really DX8 part).
The demo runs acceptably well at 1024. Granted it's not using any pixel shaders, but the game works, and it works well enough to play.
The story might be different on a low-end card that can do either spec of pixel shader tho.
