Longhorn的推出會對3d card有何影響?
 

前幾天在阿湯的站看到3Dlabs的P10消息...有提到未來微軟的新系統longhorm一些內容

One thing is for sure, Microsoft's Longhorn is probably the single greatest opportunity for the graphics industry since it moved into the 3D age ten years ago. However, a lot is going to depend on how low Microsoft sets the bar. If Longhorn pushes the graphics requirement of the subsystem, and lives up to its promise, then it's open season. Longhorn needs to demand a GeForce3 and Radeon 8500 minimum base level of performance and features. Ideally, it would require a fully compatible DX9 card. Not just a card that has the drivers, but one that pushes everything to software....

如果是真的的話，那說不定G1000大概在longhorn推出時，已經變成入門的3D card了耶...哇..那現在的軟體追硬體的趨勢，以後說不定變成硬體猛要追軟體了

單就CPU論,Intel的IA-64就被M$之前遲遲生不出作業系統害慘了...
硬體追軟體...不太可能...
M$此舉只是在作業系統GUI上玩花樣而已,稱不上是進步.
