_Goblinng: my point was, if XP mode is important to a 7 user, then the more expensive versions that ship with XPM will not be needed in favor of VM for those that require XP compat.  XPM mode doesnt even have DX support...Jul 13 11:49
Ng_Goblin: I would typically expect that these compatibility features are most likely to be cared about, and paid for, by businesses with bespoke applications they can't easily port, so DirectX is supremely uninteresting to themJul 13 11:51

wallclimberit's funny, whenever tech forums and comment areas begin to heat up with troll-rants I always wonder what's going on elsewhere (wasn't silverlight 3 released a few days ago?).  For instance, I've read more anti-Ubuntu comments lately than ever before (even here on BN).  Ubuntu seems to be the latest battleground, and it doesn't look to be easing up any time soon. In fact, I look for it to get progressively worse over the next 3 moJul 13 15:37
wallclimbernths. Because MS is due to release WinVista 7 in October, which is, oddly enough (heh) when Karmic is also due out.Jul 13 15:37
