Friends let friends be their own people, making their own choices.

The world needs more friends.

What I seen was bill gates become very obstinate and think that that
there was no need for video as powerful as the computers ... MAC video
graphic artists where forced into being ... now that windows went ahead
and provided the supporting software/driver support, there is no finer
video than you will find on PC's ... and the leading reason all no. one
games usually only run on the PC, and windows ... to transcode them for
another architecture/video support cuts too many capabilities from the game.

Windows didn't "go ahead" and do that, John. The companies that build
the graphics cards provide the drivers.

As for your "too many capabilities from the game" claim...

....let's see a concrete example.
