Nope.jayshields wrote:~AKAPJ: Yeah, Microsoft has me tied in because of gaming too, but I still look at it the same. If you like Mario games so bad you could say Nintendo is wrong because they're the only company in the market offering Mario games. So hey, if you wanna play Mario, buy a Nintendo, if not, don't buy one!
Obviously I do think it would be nice if Microsoft would release DirectX for other OS's; but it's never going to happen, and if I was in their shoes, I wouldn't release it either. Would you?
I think most of the "hate" for MS over DX is because they created DX with the sole intent of cornering the gaming market. DX originally started out as just a rival to OpenGL. I can't remember specifically, but I don't think it was restricted as much as it is today. It was certainly a HECK of a lot easier to get the tech-specs of DX than it is today.jayshields wrote:~AKAPJ: Yeah, Microsoft has me tied in because of gaming too, but I still look at it the same.
