If you consider that the precursor to the Linux kernel was GNU and that both, together, comprise what GNU/Linux is today then no, you are wrong to say that Microsoft's supposed monopoly is why it exists. When GNU was first created, Microsoft was replaceable and fairly insignificant in the computing world. Not until 1992 could Microsoft claim to have anything resembling a monopoly and the kernel's development started before that. The reality is that GNU and Linux exist as a result of *UNIX* being proprietary. People wanted to have UNIX power on their home computers and since this wasn't possible, they decided to develop a clone of it. Tools on the GNU side, a kernel on the Linux side. -- Silver Slimer Wikipedia & OpenMedia Supporter

Again. I said LINUX.
This was something started by a kid that didn't want another marginal
platform like the Dragon but also didn't want to put up with the dreck that
Micrsoft was forcing on everyone.

Consoles have been a driving force in the games market for over
a decade. If you are going to blither about something, at least
pretend that you have half a clue about it. Mobile platforms have
also been the new thing. There was movement in this direction even
before the smartphones became big and splashy in the news media.
Like I already said. If you are going to blather baout something, at
least pretend that you have half a clue about it.

They might get great sales because they're generally more affordable than gaming machines and don't require upgrades but every single gaming publication will tell you that innovation still starts at the PC level. Maybe consoles innovate as it relates to control schemes, but the PC's power still determines what kind of games developers will be able to make for consoles in the following years. As for "having a clue" about gaming, you're literally talking to an expert here. I know the entire history of games, the names behind the technology and the series, the reasons of the successes and failures of platforms as well as the technology in each machine. *YOU* clearly don't know shit in believing that because casual smartphone/tablet games sell well they'll somehow become a driving force for the games market. Absolutely NO expert would agree with you on this. In fact, some of the companies which made fortunes in developing smartphone/tablet casual games are seeing their profits decrease to the point that they're scrambling to find the next big thing. -- Silver Slimer Wikipedia & OpenMedia Supporter

The only idiot here is you. How do you explain the fact that every single innovation in gaming started on the PC if "consoles have been a driving force?" The very fact that you call it a DRIVING force specifically insinuates that innovation starts there regardless of how you weasel out of in a future post by the way. On which platform was CD technology first used? Consoles or the PC? On which platform did real-time strategy games first appear? Consoles of the PC? On which platform did the FPS originate? Consoles or the PC? On which platform did online multiplayer gaming begin? Consoles or the PC? On which platform was 3D acceleration first used? Consoles or the PC? On which platform was installing a game onto the hard disk first allowed? Consoles or the PC? On which platform was gaming through the Internet first allowed? Consoles or the PC? On which platform was digital distribution of games start? Consoles or the PC? For every question, the answer is the PC. Unfortunately, you're too busy pretending that you have knowledge to hide the fact that you're a complete imbecile and never bothered to research the material? JEDIDIAH making a complete ass of himself yet again, who would have imagined? -- Silver Slimer

The industry shifted to consoles a long time ago. The fact that you
can come up with some really ancient examples of "innovation" doesn't really
alter this.
I mean come on... "hard drive installs".
That one is straight out of the 80s.

And it only came to consoles with the original XBOX in 2001. Therefore, consoles are 20 years behind on capability and 5 years behind on graphics technology. It's too bad that you know nothing of the subject and insist on continuing to make an ass out of yourself. You're free to pinpoint an area where consoles innovated before the PC though. The only one you can realistically pinpoint is the Wii control mechanism. -- Silver Slimer OpenMedia Supporter www.silverlips.ca

I had a friend who once had a complete set of controls for his flight simulator games. Stick, pedals, controls etc. Basically just like a real plane. Far more than just a joystick with a bunch of buttons.

I'm sure the Intellivision JEDIDIAH just spent his life savings on seems very innovative with its 2 side buttons and keypad with game inserts. After all, it's the first-ever 16-bit console. -- Silver Slimer OpenMedia Supporter www.silverlips.ca
