Who's argument? Who would make such an argument when no such games exist? Show me ONE current commercial game that runs under DOS? I am no fan of Microsoft, yet I understand that developing these games would not be possible without the functionality provided in WinXP. For anyone to assume that a game developer would rather write their own device support routines, rather than use the services built into the OS, is just ridiculous. A developer would never be able to complete a single product using that methodology. The target, both in terms of hardware technology and gaming standards, moves faster than you could write the code. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
