its not bad at all. i have a few of their bootable dvd's. you just pop it it, boot up, it loads ati or nvidia video drivers. you can play whatever you want, save the game settings and profiles to a usb thumb drive, reboot and you are back to where you started.

I kind of imagined this going the other way: windows live cd's with games for *nix users.

I think game developers should create their own OS, make it bloat limited and optimized for only gaming, no spreadsheets, no powerpoint, no word, no anti-virus, no firefox, nothing else. Just games.

And use old tech?
I want a system i can upgrade, not replace. I want to be able to play the older games i like without hooking up a different system.
That and i HATE using a joypad. Keyboard and mouse FTW!
Still, due to M$ DirectX i will never be able to play my favorite games in WINE; Mechwarrior 2 and Mechwarrior 4 (all expansions - i don't own 3 but would like to)

Or MS could do Windows GE, you would figure as greedy as they are there would already be a windows gaming edition.
