To tell you the truth the only reason I'm waiting for it is to get access to 
the newer version of UnrealEd. The old version is from 2000 or some ungodly 
time. Plus the arcane keyboard shortcuts made even the hardest of hardcore 
programmer nerds at my school swear like a 11-year-old Catholic schoolgirl. 
Ctrl-S to subtract a volume, not save the level you were working on... WTF? 
Even little kids in small rural villages in Africa know Ctrl-S is "Save".

I love UT2004 ONI - Good times but in short times... Damn to CS Bandwagon.

They had better come out with a Linux version or I won't be buying it.
No way I'm upping W2K to vista. No way in hell.

They will lose a ton of sales if they neglect Linux users. Linux also is
serving up the online gaming.

The server is out AFAIK.

And as for a client it is coming but not in the Box from day one!

On the up side there is hope of UnrealEd running on Linux sometime in a 
not so distant future.

Sorry but no they won't.

Most Linux users I know has a Windows system for gaming - it is either 
that or they don't game at all. It's no different than me writing this 
on my Mac but also having a PC for the games.

I would love for Windows to go away - being an IT developer properly 
more than most actually - but it won't happen :-(

Kind regards
