I stopped buying CDs several years ago in protest of price fixing and the current direction of the music industry certainly won't win me back. I wish others would stop buying music in protest as well but that, unfortunately, won't happen.:(
I just don't understand the desire to run Windows software on a another commercial OS. If I wanted to play Windows games then I'd purchase and install a copy of Windows and avoid all the associated hassles. However, I'm not about to purchase or install Windows, or any Windows game.
I'll gladly shell out cash for pretty much any game that's ported to Linux though.
I guess I do need to explain it. The reviewer made is sound as if you need to wait for Microsoft to produce their 64 bit operating system before you could take full advantage of 64 bit processors. I've been using a 64 bit operating system for over a year now, taking full advantage of 64 bitness, without having to wait for Microsoft to grace my computer with it's 64 bit blessing.
I really hope this translates to more Linux users. I hope the Linux community will grow large enough that hardware and software makers will no longer be able to ignore them.
Unfortunately, I'm sure that most Windows users will just shrug and lay down for the program.
...I've completely stopped purchasing any music. Their actions will only serve to cause others to do the same and seek out more secure ways of trading.
...is why there isn't total outrage over "closed source" development of voting machine software. Sighting "trade secrets" as a reason for hiding the source code from the public should immediately raise red flags. The notion of secret voting machine software is completely ludicrous to me.

It amazes me that people continue to buy music and support this mentality.

The Epson photo printer I have uses ink cartriges that are separate from the print heads, so how is HP "Invent[ing] A New Way To Print"?
You forgot to mention that it crashed on a subsequent flight and sustained considerable damage.

"Petabyte" just sounds so dirty. :)
Aren't software patents wonderful?
It's the same argument that is being used to attempt to shut down the FAA's free weather services.
"Microsoft will officially stop supporting Windows 2000 by the end of this month..."
Makes a rather compelling reason to switch to Linux or other open source alternative.
Perhaps Gates should've said: Longhorn, the next version of the Windows operating system, will make computing freedom 'a thing of the past'.
Looks like my next graphics card will come from one of these two companies.
And here I thought that I would have to wait until tomorrow to get some real news.

I hope that clarifies it a bit.
Do I really have to explain my comment?
"...although there is, as yet, no shipping 64-bit Windows operating system, which is necessary to make the most of a 64-bit CPU."
I've been using 64 bit Gentoo for like a year now, but I guess that doesn't count.

So the new crime will be to swipe peoples asses at $20 a pop.
Have you tried examining the assembler code that's output from the compiler?
Unfortunately, it's probably more like 99% of the gaming companies.
Well, since none of their games had Linux support I just don't care.
I buy them. However, if this becomes a reality I will likely start downloading cracked/pirated copies.

I apologize if this has already been posted, but have any of you seen (or signed) this petition? http://www.petitiononline.com/atipet/petition.html
I just had John Titor deja vu.
