It's actually making a come back -- web-based apps are becoming quite popular these days; probably almost everyone today uses at least some web-based apps even if it is just e-mail, bug databases, Wikis, etc. At the moment it doesn't work so well for "highly interactive" applications such as CAD work, but there are plenty of people working on changing that. A lot of people already seem willing to use web-based word processors and spreadsheets: http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/business/docs.html ---Joel

Tons of Windows games use OpenGL (or have the option to), and being open, OpenGL functions are one-to-one on Linux. If they're emulating DirectX instead, that's more impressive -- I wonder what the framerate difference is? Makes me wonder if anyone has written a "perfect bot" where the graphics calls are hooked, so as to detect, say, "there's an enemy at so-and-so screen coordinates", then feed that back to the control system (direction keys or mouse). As a virtual environment, it cannot be detected by security features. Tim -- Deep Friar: a very philosophical monk. Website: http://webpages.charter.net/dawill/tmoranwms

Can probably be done inside a VM at a speed penalty but then you are back to Windows anyhow. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ "gmail" domain blocked because of excessive spam.
