Chaz,

"The other vendors weren't the only ones screwed by MSFT in this episode. A lot of game developers were too."

Gee Chaz, you just are not getting into this Windows Experience thing at all. The Panel on Anti-Microsoft Activities will be especially severe on you; Bill may preside over your case himself.

"So, when Microsoft said the rest of Active-X was going to be cross-platform and open last year, I knew it wasn't going to happen. And it didn't."

Your first clues should have been the use of "cross-platform" and "open". Considering the source, this was obviously meant to be pure satire.

Take it easy,

Norm

Chaz -

So what do you think of the collaborative gfx. efforts between MSFT and SGI? MSFT has all but ceded that direct3D sucks as a gfx API, and has commited to using OGL. Then again, the new scene API should be interesting, too.
