Maybe its the fault of Linux, if they didn't change the code-base so often it would be more worthwhile to support the cards for longer. See, it works both ways.

If Redmond doesn't pay you, they should.

I don't see what Nintendo has to do with this. 

Well, as Squilliam will no doubt inform you, the wii has similar video card issues. It's common knowledge that the Wii's inability to push polygons at rates similar to the 360 or any modern x86 compatible PC (with an MS owned OS), can almost entirely be ascribed to it's lack of directx support.

 

Hugs and kisses! We all know that Microsoft deliberately fails to support the Wii because they are jealous at the colour of white Nintendo uses. The Xbox 360 is sort of an off white colour, which infuriates Microsoft.

 

Hah, shows what you know. The Wii is the one that is off white. The Microsoft extended color standard indicates that the 360 is in fact white. You can whine all day that this isn't fully compatible with international industry color standards; however, at the end of the day the vast majority of artists use photoshop on a Windows machine which makes this the defacto industry color standard. Only Ivory tower academics and Communists use anything else.
