The only people I see hating Windows are people who can't operate it, people who install every toolbar possible on their browser then wonder why it's slow, people who somehow manage to get hundreds of viruses (I don't know how it's possible, I haven't gotten one since the release of XP), people who hit "next, next, next, next, next, next" on every install before reading what they're actually doing and the list goes on. I've never had an issue with XP, Vista on the hand is another story. I run most of IT at a credit institution that I work at, we rarely have any issues with our XP boxes, that's over 4, 000 computers running XP just fine everyday AND when we do get issues, they're usually hardware problems or when our UNIX/Linux(Noble, Chordiant) developers fuck something up because they're Windows illierate. Our Noble guys are Unix gods, probably some of the smartest people I've ever met, but when I give them a laptop with our XP image on it they're lost in space.
EDIT: DRM...? People still pay for software? Ha, oh I forgot, because it's free it has to be better am I right?
hhhhuhhh?
I don't like windows for so many reason. My linux machine can't have virus so I don't need anti virus. I don't install stuff from the internet so I don't do the next, next routine. people who use linux are used to think about the action of their machine, not going through automatic routine.
I don't like windows becaouse after I installed it I need to install anti virus, word processosor, pdf reader and so while linux come with it built in. I don't like windows because It take som much space and resources then linux. I don't like windows for the fact that I can't even arrange my menus the way I like it, not to talk about setting the look and feel of the whole system. My machine at work run windows and so many times I found my self doing extra action only because this little software is missing it drive me crazy.
About the original question. I'm in the same boat as you. If Diablo 3 won't run on wine or any other way of linux I won't buy it. don't get me wrong. I think D3 will be great and I hate the thought of not playing it but I don't think paying the price of Vista upon buying a new machine only for one game is logical. I won't use Vista for any other reason.
