Personally... I HOPE microsoft ruins computer gaming... on windows.
This could be the begining to the end of windows (probably not )
But I can See MacOSX being the next "gamers" OS... just because its unix based, and it is the most "stable" os for regular computer users ( I dont mean stable as in never crash etc. but i mean like windows, you can count on OSX to "work" and be there.. with linux there are too many distros to keep track..)

But really... we dont have much of a choice right now, we are almost forced to use windows... and eventally forced to use Vista.

i guess this is only the beginning. the bad thing is that no updates are made for xp anymore, at least i've read this somewhere

why will? They have to finish the job they have started.

rating will force lots of indies to stop developing because distibutors will demand it. And if publishers dont jump in, not a lot of hobby designers will be able to pay 3grand.

and even if your publisher pays it, the money has to be earned first. So your game has to make a minimum of 3000 usd before you get one cent.

Though i doubt microsoft can ruin the game market, but they will do their best to promote their own studios and software as good as they can.
and if this means ruining other software studios with the help of their monopolistic structure, then i am sure they wont mind.
They never did, so why should they start to grow a conscience after decades?!

cheers

ello: Lol, that only shows that Vista can make it hard for you to install any software if you don't have the right security settings.

XP has a similar issue if you try to use a "Limited Account".

@zazabg, I disagree...parental involvement and guidance is the key, not limits due to ratings. imo

well guys...maybe there is another aspect than only technical issues we should talk about :

a non technical aspect,censorship: what about themes MS "will not allow" (for example goverment criticaly themes);

or...another aspect...you are working on a theme ,put your first screenshots on your site...and a another developerstudio supported (or maybe owned) by MS working on the same time on the same theme.

i´m not sure if you do one of these things you ever would get a rating that helps you selling your games;
