For many people, the only reason they're keeping around a windows machine or dual-boot system is the games. If gaming companies begin following suit and release Linux versions of popular games, this means freedom from microsoft for all of those people. Whether the games are Free Software or not, this can mean many more people using a Free OS, which in turn means fewer potential IE, OE/Outlook, and Word users. This is good for everybody. It is in our best interests that the Linux version of this and other games be successful. So anyone thinking about pirating this, please don't. =) good times, Vineet -- http://www.doorstop.net/ -- http://www.debian.org/
