Although he might have some points about the challenges of developing a 3D graphics engine on Linux, it is very unusual for a developer to make such open statements against a major software operating system platform.

Usually they just discuss the challenges and say something like, "We determined that we cannot afford or do not wish to devote the resources required for development on this platform further."

But, this guy sounds like he got a check in the mail from Microsoft.
I really am going to miss the city bus emulator. now what will I do with my evenings. Maybe I will have to get a job at First Buses to quench my addiction
Thanks for the chuckle, Gary. ;-)
