I''ve browsed through the Neverwinter Nights site (www.neverwinternights.com) and I read that NWN will support 4 OS''s, Windows, Mac, Linux and BeOS. They also say that they run servers, connecting all NWN OS clients to the same server. I think this is great, not only because it''ll be available to more people, but also because Windows is slowly slipping away from being the standard game platform. I guess the hardware support in other OS''s isn''t as good as in Windows, but I do hope it changes. Daniel Netz, Sentinel Design

Windows based game sales have steadily been going up for the last few years, and those sales are still going up. I''m not a Microsoft fan by any means, but it''s too early to make any sort of predictions. I think it''s great that Bioware is making NWN avaiable on as many platforms as possible, but Linux and BeOS have a long way to go before they start seriously cutting into Microsofts share of the pie, and I doubt Microsoft is going to sit around letting their hold on the market slip away. In the end, the competition simply means more and better for us customers.
