The 2 coolest games: Unreal Tournament Quake 3 Arena Both work on linux, whats wrong ;) Actually I have Win2k installed for Adobe Photoshop (there are a few things that gimp can't do and there is more plugins) and for games, and browsing the net (I'm stuck with a winmodem until pay day :( I think it might get worse for games on linux. DirectX 8 is equal in terms of power to opengl, and DirectX9 will be more powerful. And games for the XBox will be DirectX. And since the xbox is a mostly computer it isn't hard to port them to the pc. OS is the same (windows), Graphic API is the same (directX). until someone works out how to do direct x natively under xwindows it's going to suck a bit.
