And you thought we have high thread counts

They did make 95 twice! 95A and 95B. 95A sucked really bad. I know because I was a computer tech in 1993-1998 and was trying really hard to build a stable system with 95A. B included FAT32 and a bunch of kernel improvements and the hardware was more stable due to better driver support.

I am a huge fan of MSFT products. I say this while typing on a MacBook Pro and playing my 360. The Apple programmer tools are terrible. MSFT really makes it a joy to program with DirectX, XNA and the toolsets available in Visual Studio. Developers hate writing PS3 games but love writing XBOX 360 games. Its just something that Microsoft does well.

Yes they cut corners on the original xbox to meet a consumer price point. That $400 xbox in 2005 had the equivalent of a $400 PC video card in it, with a motherboard, case, ram, gamepad, disk drive, dve, power supply and other crap thrown in for free. They should have just sold it for $500 or $600 instead like Sony did.

Figured you'd say that, that's why I picked OpenGL. :roflol:

I actually enjoyed the old OpenGL games back in the day. They were far better than DirectX which had a habit of destroying your system if a game installed an older version over a newer one without telling you. Fdisk party time.



Apparently Windows 95 was so good they had to make it twice.
