    Why do we still have to develop for this ultra turkey of an OS?

    Why not force the cheap bastards using it to upgrade?

    They knew the risks when they bought a PC without learning how to use it / upgrade it. Fuck them.

    Ship your game with a warez copy of Windows 2000 and install it automatically (thinly disguised as the DirectX install probably). Joe Bloggs won't even notice.

    Its still huge in Korea. someone told me its because they believe games run faster on it (anyone else heard this?). I assume its because the game cafes don't want to spend the money on it.

    Any other countries that are doing this?

    Heh - at 35.2 KB it's probably held more focus than most animations we're putting in games these days!

    (And kept this old thread going :|)
