I really hope it is a serious player in the desktop and especially gaming market soon. Absolutely the _only_ thing i use Windows for is computer games. In every other area of the desktop (server goes without saying) I've found a better tool for the job on FreeBSD. My main desktop now is my Sony Vaio running FreeBSD 5.4. Game developers need to start making everything for OpenGLout of the box. > Yesterday, I spent 4 hours playing UT2004. And it > seemed to run faster than on Windows.
