Well at nearly $100 for the UPGRADE of Windows XP, it a bit much for even me and I have a good paying job. I understand it is an important product, but they ensure it only last for two or three years, and I mean $100 bucks... that's 2 or 3 games!!
Of course, I am just cheap, but that's beside the point. On the other hand DirectX allows for some awesome games! No more DOS extenders, no more EMM386 configuration, spending hours trying to rearrange upper memory blocks so you could load the mouse driver high.
We could all still be playing Atari 2600 and asking each other "Is that blue square my guy or yours?"
(It was cheaper for me to buiy a new PC, with XP, than to go buy XP at the store)
