Wishbone: Basically, this is how it works:
- If you want to play games, you get a Windows machine.
- If you want to do l33t geeky stuff, run lots of nifty open source apps, and have complete control over your operating system, you run Linux.
- If you want to pay twice for hardware what it's worth, and have access to only a very limited selection of software, but look very hip at the coffee house, you get a Mac.
The first two were reasonable, why not the last one? Sure you pay a bit extra, but OBVIOUSLY not double. You pay extra for some slick hardware with some nice integration. Windows people do this too, you know. Very limited selection of software? There's an ABSURD amount of software for Mac. Look very hip... well yeah, that's part of the bonus in getting the "slick hardware" in the first part. If you got a Dell Adamo I think you'd look pretty hip too. (Plus pay way more than it's worth).
Oh but were you just trolling?
Wishbone: I wonder if Nokia get angry letters, complaining that their batteries don't work with Samsung phones?
No, but we're talking software here. If they got angry letters that the Nokia browser wouldn't open the same web sites that the Samsung one would?
You're replying to a guy named DosFreak... he probably wants to install a DOS game from here, to play on DOSBox, which, as you might know, is cross-platform. Since it's NOT a Windows game, why tie it to Windows?
I understand they want to make a seamless experience for Windows users, because that's where the money is, but there should be some kind of alternate way to get at the files. Discussion's still open on that one.
