Ummm... I don't care much for your opinion of Microsoft and your download speeds mate. I would on the other hand value any input on how DX9 works with games like 'UT 2003' and 'Mafia' etc... that would be practical but I'll have to see for myself. And as far as 'gamesprockets' for the Mac, you can use them to play Q3A in 2003. Go at it mate lol.
