JoeCommodore writes: "In the over 40 years of videogames (arcade, home and compnuter) many really great games have come and also have unforunately gone with the platforms they were played on. Some of which never got the audience they deserved, partly because of the platform not being as popular as other or the original, the publisher could not advertisee it, was a 'cult-classic', or maybe it was just eclisped by some other game at the time.

What are the games you wish were once again made native for the modern arcade, game sytems or computer for you and your fellow Slashdotters to enjoy?"

klubar writes: "Newsweek recently interviewed Bill Gates on why Vista makes a difference. His answers on why upgrade, Microsoft future, Vista security and innovation are interesting — and surprisingly well reasoned.

He points out that Microsoft has had a number of major releases since Windows XP (as this is a consumer-oriented interview, he doesn't mention the business releases, like Server 2003, SQL, etc.) He also claims that Vista is highly secure and the underpinning is better than that of the Mac. The interview also addresses who is copying who (always a gray area) with the claim that many of the OSX ideas were develped first at Microsoft. He also claims that "security guys break the Mac every single day. Every single day, they come out with a total exploit, your machine can be taken over totally. I dare anybody to do that once a month on the Windows machine.".

As an aside, based on a quick preview of Vista and Office 2007, I'm impressed. Both of them together really makes XP with Office 2003 and the OSX look dated."

He should try writing 20+ million lines of code for 3 generations of video cards for a brand new OS that already has a 300MB+ SP schedueled for release and was changed 3 times in 45 days prior to being released to MSDN customers. He also seems to think that Nvidia and other hardware companies sat in on all the coding for vista for the last several years."
