San Francisco event designed to put Windows gaming on the map. Company continues with message it introduced last March. Hammering home a message it hopes, nay, intends to communicate to gamers, Microsoft yesterday held a cozy event in San Francisco where it demonstrated to members of the gaming press just how committed it was to backing up its 2-year-old OS, Windows XP, as a reliable platform for Windows-based developers and gamers. |

designed to put Windows gaming on the map.
Put it on the map? As the previous poster pointed out, Windows is about the only thing on the map as far as computer gaming and has been since the move from DOS. I mean there are more games coming out for Mac OS and Linux now but they are still tiny villages compared to Windows. Perhaps they are targeting console game developers, but they have a console themselves now. Seems very odd, I just don't get the point of this. |

| This is another innovation they stole from Mac OS-X and Linux, the two premier gaming platforms! |

Sodablue,
Linux, a premier gaming platform? C'mon man, please :) I can't speak much for how well Linux WOULD do as a gaming platform, but I do feel that MacOS X could be, and is, and excellent platform. All we need are more titles. TL |
