Status: offline 		This link was posted in the TS-ATG forums, but thought I would also post here:

http://www.microsoft.com/resources/casestudies/CaseStudy.asp?CaseStudyID=16499

For you non-technical types, the study is basically talking about Microsoft's new technology to build games for the PC using Microsoft .NET, which is a more stable and more productive environment for building applications.

MicroSoft in relation with that phrase tends to be a contradiction in terms. Perhaps it is no surprise that link is not currently working right now.

Link works fine for me. You running Firefox?

Yes, and the fact that the link comes from MS itself would explain a LOT. So much for credibility.

Status: offline 		I'm on Firefox and it works like a charm. I get a bit peeved at people bashing technology from MS with some kind of superiority complex. Why don't they ever back up their words with something tangible, such as a truly killer app or game for Linux, Apple, etc.? Outside of the graphics arena, they are few and far between, if not nonexistent.

Status: offline 		If you are running this forum on Firefox it is necessary to clear your cookies and cache due to the recent software update. I was having all kinds of trouble earlier till I stumbled across an administrative notice about doing it.

Things are fine now and links like the one above are working properly.

I love to bash MS as much as anyone, but this time it's not their fault.
