My guess would be that Warcraft III was so expensive because of the name, and they knew it would still sell just as good. I don't really care though, I still bought it the day after release.
The main reason I posted this news was to get more Mac developers interested since they are a minority on Freecraft. Work still needs to be done on gettign the MacOSX port up to par with Linux and Window, specifically with sound. There is also room for a Mac classic OS port and a Darwin/X11 port(that way the front page is more truthful).
While the Lindows announcement was good in the anit-Microsoft arena, it wasn't all that good anywhere else. I'm glad Wal-Mart will be selling real Linux boxes. No I wish I would have held off on buying my new iMac.
A recent trend seems to be having the PC as the center on a digital entertainment system. If the PC can't play the CD, and it's the primary CD player, wouldn't people possibly buy from other labels? I know my parent's only CD player is the one in their computer, and I use the one in my computer quite often in stead of my music only CD player because it is more convenient.
My future plans depend on operating systems become comodities. I think open source will make them somthing that OEMs form to fit to their specific systems like Apple does, and the cost will become more tranparent with no MS tax, and the OS will be like the BIOS is now, just something that OEMs make, or licence without much thought or cost, and is just part of that particular system.
I plan on putting this into use as soon as I get AtheOS ported to the PowerPC architecture, and get it cleaned up and end-user ready.
The browsers complement servers by offering "features" that only the same branded server can offer. This has basically been the driving force behind IE. Microsoft based servers aren't growing in popularity because they are superior to Unix/Apache based servers, they just offer some non-standard protocols, and people wan't to take advantage of this since IE is in such wide use. Pre-Mozilla Netscape was also guilty of this somewhat as well. They wanted the browser to push their servers, because if everybody used Netscape's browsers, people would want the most Netscape compatible servers.
To many Americans, the difference between Americans and Canadians seems to be little, however, in Canada we see ourselves as a different people Here are some examples Canada - America Central Gov'nt - Decentralized gov'nt -The US has had an increasingly centralized govenment since the civil war in the 1860's when decentralization lost out. Bilingual - Single Language -I'm American, I speack three languages, and bilingual americns is a growing trend Diverse People - Melting pot -Now days most natualized americans try to reject the melting pot and keep their old customs. Against War - For War (don't deny it) -you've got a point there.

To many Americans, the difference between Americans and Canadians seems to be little, however, in Canada we see ourselves as a different people
Here are some examples
Canada - America
Central Gov'nt - Decentralized gov'nt
-The US has had an increasingly centralized govenment since the civil war in the 1860's when decentralization lost out.
Bilingual - Single Language
-I'm American, I speack three languages, and bilingual americns is a growing trend
Diverse People - Melting pot
-Now days most natualized americans try to reject the melting pot and keep their old customs.
Against War - For War (don't deny it)
-you've got a point there.
