I'd just like to say that I hate.. HATE.. HATE!!! it when Windows steals focus of windows. Especially when entering passwords so that they all of a sudden become plain text in another window. Thanks Windows.

I hate that too. Prime culprit is MSN when you receive offline messages, always steals focus. especially annoying in Appear Offline as MSN can't make it's mind up weather to send offline or normal messages half the time. ZA firewall popups steal focus aswell, and a lot of popups.

Another reason that Windows sucks - It allows open access to vital files. A recent update for EVE-Online deleted the boot.ini file because the directory path was wrong (it should have deleted one in the EVEO folder, but deleted the root one instead). Now, how should it even be able to delete that file? It really should be restricted as it is a key operating file.

It is... unless you've changed it

I didn't get affected. But apparently this patch did it on 2K and XP machines. Don't think it did on Vista.

That's Windows for you. Everybody is an administrator by default... apart from domain PC's.
In Linux, you can install a game under the default user profile and can be sure that it won't touch any system files

Yeah, EVE recently expanded to Macs and Linux, and these were unaffected. I think just plain old restricting access to critical files without permission would be more sensible.

Second Life has had a Mac and Linux client for a couple of years too!

Did they stop doing it?

EVE-O introduced it in the past couple of months, I think it's a good idea for MMOs really, especially one's that work like EVE (certain things require timing, like skill training).

They still have them
MOSMMORPG's are a great idea

MOS = Multi OS?

I would like to see a good MMOFPS personally, it would be interesting. I would also like to see the subscription fee not exist.

Kind of like the up and coming game Huxley? http://uk.gamespot.com/pc/action/huxley ... lt;title;1

Oh, I didn't realise it was MMO! Plus it had kinda disappeared. But yeah, something like that.
