Comment Re:CrackBerry: Just say no ;) (Score 1) 191

My work gives me a crackberry to use on the job. It makes sense because depending on what's needed, I may be away from my office/laptop for 2-3 hours at a time, and that's the only way for me to get emails. That being said, I leave the blackberry *at work*. I plug it in, lock my computer, and go home. They can contact me at 8am the next morning when I show up.

Wine doesn't work with everything. Also there is not as much driver support for linux which prevents a LOT of people from moving over to it (myself included. My sound card cannot work in linux.). Games do work through wine, yes, but they have crippled performance from what I've seen. I was looking at 60-70+fps on WoW with higher settings in vista where I was getting ~30-40 in linux at lower ones.
Every time I've tried linux there has been multiple reasons for me to say "Okay, back to windows." It's not a worthwhile system for most people, no matter what anyone may want to believe.

All games have to be played online. There won't be single player games anymore, there'll just be web based games or virtual worlds you can play single player-style or massively multiplayer style, but in either case the data for the game world will only be on the server.

That point is when I will stop playing games all together. I can't stand playing games online most of the time, especially FPS games. If there's no chance to play a game by myself, without the interaction with another player, then there's no possible way the game will be good enough to warrant my attention.
