[News] [Rival] Microsoft Kills PC Gaming (Shot in Foot)?

Microsoft Fails PC Gamers

,----[ Quote ]
| Is Microsoft Trying to Kill PC Gaming?
| 
| In the end, it's not that Microsoft is trying to kill PC gaming, but 
| their current efforts sure aren't helping things. Maybe my ideas will 
| make no sense to them, or they're just plain stupid ideas, but at some 
| point, Microsoft needs to "cowboy up" and get serious about this. 
| Because frankly, if it wasn't for gaming, a whole lot of us would 
| already have Macs, or be running Ubuntu Linux and never looking back.
|                                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^

| It's not a direct line, but you'll get to the admin secretary closest 
| to Steve Ballmer. If you have a longstanding Microsoft issue that 
| multiple trips to the MS customer service line haven't solved, try 
| pitching her your problems.

| Games for Windows ? Live reboots my modem.  My modem (a Linksys
| WCG200 recommend by Comcast) reboots periodically when trying to 
| connect or after connecting to GFW -- Live.  It took me two hours
| to download my XBOX Live profile to my computer.  Why?  Because
| my modem would reset over and over.

Valve questions Microsoft's commitment to PC gaming

,----[ Quote ]
| Half-Life 2 developer Valve thinks that Microsoft's current
| "Games for Windows" marketing push is a cynical ploy to sell
| more copies of Windows Vista, rather than a genuine effort to
| invigorate the PC gaming market.

Quake 4 On XP, Vista, & Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| However, I spent the extra time and while I was at it had run three
| Quake 4 v1.3 benchmarks in XP, Vista, and Fedora Core 6 (2.6.20 kernel).
| The hardware used was a modest AMD Sempron setup with a NVIDIA GeForce
| 6150 and the NVIDIA 1.0-9755 drivers (the hardware chosen was to
| represent the more common Linux user rather than using an octal-core
| setup). The NVIDIA driver on Vista was 100.65 while the XP version
| was 93.71. Below is the average frame-rate from each test on each
| operating system.

| Seldom has the rumor mill turned faster than when gamers talk about gaming
| in Vista. Some folks are staying away from the new OS simply because
| they feel it doesn't game well.
