Hi:
Well, last news says that some game companies are planning to make
live-CD of is games, cause they are prepared to i64 ( read AMD 64bits ) but
Windows for IA64 is not so stable to use it as gamming platform ( for now
). Then, companies are evaluating the possibility to create live-cds based
on Linux for 64 bits arch, more stable now, and use the Personal Computer
as VideoGame platform. Just boot from CD, play and shutdown.

( I read something in another site, but now i don't remember where. I'm
posting this link after googling for a while )

And I think part of the reason they don't is because there are so many
different linux distributions/configurations that simply their increased
end-user tech support costs would really start to bite into their profits.
Also, I'd bet that a vast majority of the gaming public still thinks a
3-1/2
floppy is a hard disk and that they need the very latest pentium machine to
"make the internet go faster."
