Nice operating system, I'm a little concerned about creating fast action games however.

It's a ridiculous situation that anyone could come to such a conclusion given the immense resources that even budget laptops enjoy these days -- far more RAM and far higher clock speeds than any of the fast action arcade machines I enjoyed as a youth. Lots of consumers seem to be going for budget machines (so no high-end GFX for the big commercial games) while OpenGL now comes as absent -- as a games platform the PC looks like a right shabby mess at the moment.

EDIT: Oh I just wanted to be clear that I'm not criticising MGE there -- it's really daft that a new Inspiron with Vista performs worse out of the box than my old 1300 with XP.
