Didn't Microsoft buy the rights to do the Direct 3d version of GP2? I thought I read this in one the the mags a couple of months ago... -- Serge Ah-Hee (613) 763-9610 Northern Telecom Fax (613) 765-4873 PO BOX 3511 Station C Ottawa, On Canada K1Y 4H7
Apparently so, but it is nowhere near ready for release and will not be released under the "GP2" name. -- Bruce. "But that was then....and this is now!" (Guess who!)

If microsoft do as good a job as they have with Monster Truck Racing then were in for a treat. (see everyone MS can produce decent S/W, when there is competition around as in the games arena, If only they had competition in the apps market :( ) Rob
