Well, they still have this notion of attacking knights and noblemen, when in the seventeenth century in England they were already busy attacking themselves. Still, I admit in that case it is a small quibble.

I think someone does not know what "medieval" actually means if they set the thing in the 17th century.
Would it not be more apt to be set the game in the 14th century? When the Black Death was actually occurring?

Linux does not have too much of anything, we just need more of others.

I guess it is a question of sales versus maintenance. How much work is it to get the titles on there may I ask?

This idea that Linux only recently became interesting or a source for potential for growth that seems to be asserted by your posts is not true at all however. Yes, Linux has grown since then, but we are actually not in that much of a different position than we were back when those advertisements were posted. We are just as interesting now as we were then, so if we did not matter then we do not matter now. It certainly has not changed much over the many years I have been using Linux - we have always been there just off the radar, on the cusp of something great. Realizing that has just been harder than many people would have thought, at least on the desktop space.

Quoting: edgleyTrue, we will never know for sure what their full agenda was -- however, Linux was such a minor competitor and generally speaking regarded as only something for hobbyists, I can't imagine that they would have pre-emptively tried to strike it down *on purpose*.Linux was being viewed as being a potential threat by Microsoft for years beforehand (and it was, especially in the server market where MS lost out) so it is conceivable that Apple could have had a side motivation to side-line Linux, although I definitely agree it was not really what they set out to do with those commercials.

Considering Dirk Dashing 2 is already on the service, do you have any plans to put this new Special Edition of Dirk Dashing on Desura?
