On the subject, it would be pretty embarasing for Microsoft, if gamers use Wine to play DirectX 10 games on Windows XP.

thats how i eased into linux....

You do realise that linking Uncyclopedia, while quite hilarious in the interim, does absolutely nothing for people looking for legitimate claims of the man's many personality defects?  ;)

It beats me why a man like this is even anything to do with any company let alone MS. If the company had any sense (if this was a false fact), they'd get rid of him for that.
 
And - what the hell is he doing in an encyclopedia?

It's 2007 and vistas release date is tommorrow and I am still waiting for a DirectX 10 capable graphics card that doesn't cost $900 like that Nvidia 8800 does. Geez MS are a pain in the ass. I can't even upgrade to get off of my crappy Radeon 9200 which I have been waiting to upgrade for 3 YEARS. When will game makers stop releasing games on Linux instead of Windows this is pathetic.
And on march 30th my favourite game Unreal Tournament 3 will be release and I won't be able to play it at 30+ fps.

i actually think that DX10 incompatibility is a feature.
It's a feature in Ubuntu, anyway! If it wasn't free, i might even pay for it!

I'll probably install Vista for the sole purpose of running games with DX10...but hell will freeze over before I give Microfuckingbastards a cent.....as a Gamer I can say I will find a way not to pay for Microsoft shit, now they want to monopolize the gaming market by being the only platform which will run DX10. Don't do it, join in the support the erradication of anything Microsoft.

I hope you're suggesting contributing to the Wine variant of DirectX, as outright piracy is just a subtler way of enjoying the corporate ass-rammings.  See what happens if you start to get publicity as an "anti-Microsoft zealot" at this IP, with statements like that.  Have fun with the BSA goons.

BSA = Bull Shit Artists perhaps?
Don't think any antimicrosoft zealots will get publicity....because there are so many. My gripe with Microsoft is how they are trying to Monopolise gaming by forcing users who want to upgrade their graphics cards to DX10 to installing Vista also. A 'Varient' of DX10 would be ideal which is capable of running on another OS. But to force people with a particular type of hardware to have no option is bad for consumers...period. I have no gripe with the new OS perse, but I do have a problem with targeting gamers to further entrench a monopoly.

I got news for ya buddy, Gamers were among the first targets of MS. Always have been. All the way back at win 3.1 You had a fair shot at finding games for other OS, then 95, other OS's were decent for games. Then along came 98. The gamers worlds has predominantly resided in windows with the most current ver of DX ever since. This isn't even a new move. They used to have the Game designers do it for you. Remember any of the upgrades because you went to install a game and it told you your DX didn't support it, but conveniently enough, the newest ver is with this amazing install disk! Yeah, they must love me...

The title should be "directX 10 we care about protecting our monopoly and will do anything to keep it including shoot ourselves in the foot, because even though we are hurting ourselves we think it will help so we are going screw over customers more than ever even though we wont survive it.
Happy Gaming -Microsoft"
