[mdlug] BioShock - A DRM experience you don't want to miss

[Robert Adkins]

	Between this and other issues rearing their heads regarding PC Games
(Regarding MS and their bullheaded push for DirectX 10 only games, when only
2.5% of the market even has DirectX 10 ready machines...) its looking like a
serious blow to PC gaming.

	To me, that really sucks. To Microsoft, that will/should end up
sucking even more. I, for one, would be switching to a Mac for everyday PC
tasks. (Seeing as Adobe won't be releasing Photoshop for Linux anytime that
I am aware of.)

	This self-inflicted gunshot wound to the foot could really be the
"thing" that breaks Microsoft's hold on the desktop. If nobody can or needs
Windows to play games, because the platform is destroyed for gaming, then
why do people really need to stick to Windows?
