The community can stick with Windows 7 until someone else besides microshaft comes out with something.

Yup. Nothing beats using an XboX 360 controller in one hand, and the mouse to point and shoot in the other.

Look at what you just said - the only reason you use Windows is because it's compatible with all the software you want.

If they do this and nobody steps in to create a gaming-capable operating system (there aren't any right now) then what?

If they do this and companies have a hard time complying, then Windows loses its only value for me: compatibility. If another company puts out an operating system that is easier for game manufacturers to work with (like Google), than that company wins. I walk away from Windows. Forever.

I'm honestly hoping it happens.

I've been trying to become "Windows-free" for years. The only thing holding me back at this point is the games...

Erp. The first release is for ARM. Look for x86 and x64 by Christmas.

Here's some articles. I still can't find a digital copy of the magazine article (I'm not paying for a sub :D).

Have also read recently that Valve is working with ATI and nVidia to "modernize" graphics and chipset drivers for Linux. :hmmm:
