On a similar note, it was promising to see that back in April Microsoft announced
their acquisition of EXOS, a developer of force feedback technology for game
control devices. From this, it can be assumed that force feedback will become a
standard subset of MS's DirectInput, thus allowing Win95 game programmers to
easily take advantage of this new technology.
