| 0/10 Sorry, but any game... Game, get it? This is a game and not a disk
| formatting tool. This is not a DBMS or a web server or a mail server or a
| registry editor or a tool to add users to the system... This is a GAME
| dammit.

| They say the simplest ideas are the best. Strip most games down to their
| essence and you'll be left with either a dull husk of nothingness or a
| database. But not World of Goo: It's nigh impossible to pare down any
| further. Every extraneous idea has been lanced and excised.

|
| Verdict: An absolutely intoxicating masterpiece of gaming ingenuity,
| beautifully constructed and universally enjoyable by all. You need to own
| this. 10/10

Driver comparison Linux vs. Vista (Chrome 400/500 Series)
,----[ Quote ]
| After two released Linux drivers, I decided to compare those drivers to the
| current Windows Vista driver. Here are the first results, there are more to
| come!

| Sometimes S3 Graphics really scares me and this is one of those situations:
| It's already rather unusual that the performance of a Linux driver is more or
| less equal to the Windows drivers, but that the Linux drivers offers a far
| better performance is really scaring. And keep in mind that S3 Graphics
| doesn't really care that much about Linux at all!.

Windows vs Linux Benchmarks with Matlab
,----[ Quote ]
| Considering the hardware is identical, that difference is HUGE. And all
| because of all the screwups Microsoft have made, Vista might well be the
| biggest! (I should really test Windows XP. I would guess it's about 10-15%
| faster than Vista, but still 15% or more slower than Linux)

ATI: Linux vs. Windows Vista
,----[ Quote ]
| Wow! We were completely blown away when our final results came in and the
| Linux 8.42.3 driver had outperformed Windows Vista with Catalyst 7.10 in
| Enemy Territory: Quake Wars. It wasn't just a neck-and-neck race but Linux
| was about 10 frames per second faster when running at 1280 x 1024 and 1680 x
| 1050.
