It is a sad day when indeed we have to be forced to progress on in life. I mean can you remember DOS ??? Oh the day when "we will never need more than 640KB memory". I can understand how some feel about wanting to stay on Win2k, hell i stayed on Win98 for a long time before going to Win2k and then WinXP. You need to face facts though ... who in their right minds is going to develop for yestersdays technology? The moment you try to keep that technology in mind you stunt the growth of the future technologies. And then you have hardware vendors as well to consider. Just be glad that Microsoft hasnt fully gone DRM in conjunction with Intel (yes another old rumor) that is the fear of the next Microsoft release ... Big Brother (Bill Gates) will be watching then.

So lets try this theory, Microsoft tells Sigil to either come join them in moving forward and Sigil says "Gamers wont join in the march" (which is true, and the reason Linux is constantly gaining fans) so in order to make the game release Sigil just resorted to their "Back up plan". So you could basically see the quote of "Varying Visions" as partly true.
