Uh ... well, see, Microsoft makes Links. You know that, right?

I've never been on such a group, nor do I know it even exists. I don't run
XP. So, not me.

I have no problem with MS. Monopoly or not, if Gates wasn't around to
forcefully standardize things, computers would be a thousand times more
intricate in their configurations and gaming would be nearly out of the
question .. or at the very least .. even more problematic.

No .. my point was that The King is Dead. Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2003 blows
Links 2003 in to another dimension ... like an 8-bit Nintendo game vs.
Unreal Tournament or something.

It's not even close.

In fact, the Links team should be embarrassed, ridiculed and then summarily
fired. This was the king of all golf franchises and they've rode a 1997
engine for 6 years. Reminds me of GM in the 80's and early 90's. Same damn
car, year after year.

Then, checking Links Forums all over the place and the problems people are
having with this antiquated engine and .. therein lies my point.
