It's IMO wise to treat comments from people like Carmack and Gabe with a bucketload of salt.
Gabe is just a Microsoft-era millionaire and behaves as such in support of Microsoft. Valve may not have much technical knowhow amongst its team as they always relied heavily on 3rd party middleware game engines to base their games on.
Carmack has been proven to spout propaganda for Microsoft as well. He even once claimed Doom couldn't be done on the Amiga, but of course as soon as the source code was made available a few days later Doom ran on older Amigas than same age top PCs could.

Gabe also had time so discuss Windows Vista, the next-generation operating system from Microsoft due out late next year, and the Xbox 360.
"Look, I spoke to some people at Microsoft, and as I said, I can't point to a single feature in Vista that I care about that solves problems for us at all. And I had the same conversation with the Xbox 360 guys. It's like, Xbox 360 doesn't make my life any better, and in fact, it makes it a lot worse, as you're telling me I can't count on having a hard drive."
Yeah he sounds like Microsofts bitch alright...

God. Gabe said that? What an obvious Sony fanboy. I used to respect him, but now I think he should pour another bucket of lard down his gullet and then shut his mouth. The nerve!!!!!!!!11
