Anybody care to wager that there will EVER be another patch to CPR, or
even a (pay twice, get one sim) version 2? I'll be truly shocked and
amazed if we ever hear another official peep from Microsoft about CPR.

If MS wants to operate in the Internet, they should live with
competition
and grant us the possibility to choose the tools used for accessing
it...

From an interview with CMP's "Net Insider":
Is Microsoft sorry?
Bob Herbold, Microsoft' chief operating officer, says the company is
trying to learn from the aggressiveness that has made it not only a
success, but a vilified target. "Yeah, at times we say things we
probably wish we hadn't said," Herbold admits. "We are working at that,
to try to be a bit more aware of the implications of those things. They
are not in the best interests of our users, or us, or the third party."

Same old stuff eh? Who compared HBO to the internet only you?
The thread "was" about a site not the net. So who is brain dead?
So I guess your saying NROS / Ten is doing the same then?

I wish there was something available that was more road course oriented,
but good road course sim drivers are few and far between. It's tough
to get a good field of drivers at Sears Point. Maybe GPL will be
added to TEN? :)
I don't remember any big problems with the original N2 AI. Racing off
line
was and is OK _and_ it had yellow flags. The new AI enhancements from
Nim and
others are just improvements to an already functional product.
Maybe because the AI doesn't work? You claim that worthless AI is
irrelevant because online racing is available. It's only available
if the browser MS wants you to use is installed. Is it too much
to ask to be able to practice racing off line?
I can't say I blame MS for trying to leverage their strength to make
people use IE, but the way they are doing it is definitely coercive.

So, we can now expect them to be a bit more careful about what they
*say*. What they do will likely not change much at all, eh?

The entire interview with Herbold is an absolute hoot -- the questioner
