Your needle is stuck.

WebTV newsgroups are behind a firewall that you can not access with your
computer.Only WebTV users and the MSNTV people can access the WebTV
newsgroups.

Here is one of them that I post in once in a while, and there are many
more of them too.
Group: alt.discuss.computers

Yeah, lets see you post something in there with your computer.

Not everything you disagree with is BS.


More importantly, who uses which computer operating system is really
about as unimportant an argument as things get. The output is the same.
The output is what matters. How one gets there has to do with choices
based on priorities intrinsic to the individual. Your priorities and
your choices create no incumbency on anyone but yourself.

Further which O/S is better depends on application and the users'
needs. Again, only the output matters.

And PC World did a very interesting article a year or so ago, so you
can, in fact, look it up, (and they did an update again, this year,) in
which they compared Apples to PC's point for point on performance, and
found that to purchase the same performance that comes standard in an
Apple, a PC user would have to spend, while buying the most cost
effective solutions available at the time, nearly $1000 more than the
price of the Apple. And they found this to be true of notebooks AND
desktops.

So, again, not everything you disagree with is BS.

And your needle is still stuck.

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.

Actually, it is windows that supports the hardware, if they don't,
anyone can write as many drivers as they wish ... the OS would simply
not be able to utilize it ... yet another post which blatantly outlines
your refusal to cure your ignorance ... but your complete willingness to
comment on things you know little, or even nothing, about.

Gates saw a world where a simple video chip on a motherboard would be
sufficient ... his vision changed.
