I have to disagree with you. After experiencing a major crisis in our machine room with electricity usage and heat, the idea of more power efficient machines (like Sun's newest servers) seems to make a lot of sense to me. Combined with the cool virtualization features in Solaris 10 it seems like a good deal to me.
I would argue that most computer games are actually design, not art. There is a push in the artworld now for video game art. Velvet Strike and Cory Arcangels work are two examples of fine art created with video games (both of these were in the Whitney Bienniel last year). It's pretty exciting stuff especially if you are a geeky artist like me:)
