I think I agree with others, this new "Longhorn" OS is a load of crap!!! I'm sick and tired of M$ trying too control the entire computing world. I think Win98 and WinXP are going too be the Last OS I'm going too use because Linux is starting too look more and more popular by the minute.
Heck, my brother just got a copy of Linspire (its actually Lindows, but because of all the Lawsuits by M$ claiming too steal the "copyrighted" name of Windows, they changed it too Linspire) and I'm really impressed by this OS. Its not nearly as Open sourced as Red Hat and other Linux OS's, but its based on a Hierarchy structure like Windows and it can still run many older Windows based programs that are common on Win98/2000 (maybe even XP based too).
Its very possible many small game developers could look into Linspire as a good, solid Gaming OS. Heck, I heard SEIV was made with Delphi (and awsome programming language), maybe Aaron Hall could create His Space Empires games on Linsprie.
