As said many times I'm not against tools for developers, I'm against tools developed by a video card company to optimize for their product only, Ps 1.1 etc...

Then you'd better start complaining about NVidia's website because that is one large tool that is aimed squarely for their platform.

Where do you get the idea that capitalism works on the principle of competitors helping each other out? It's cut throat, period. You're trying to present some sort of idealistic vision whereas I'm just stating reality. Your's is prettier but I know that when I wake up it's not going to rain gumdrops and people aren't going to fart butterflies.

I also see the only people on this forum that are backing it are Nvidia employees and the usual suspects, fan site webmasters and long time Nvidia fans
Now Nvidia fans think Nvidia is ABOVE OGL and DX...pathetic. IF my point of view is so wrong why was the rebuttal even published..think about it.

Who here works for NVidia? It seems to me that you just refuse to understand the nature of software development. It ALWAYS lags hardware and by years normally. CG could help to close that gap. Let it stand or fall on its on merits.

Err, no. Jon Peddie , IDC, JPR, Gartner, et al, say NVidia is tops in total board shipments. If you confine it to only "high-end" boards, Peddie says 3DLabs.

On what planet does the phrase 'larger slice of the pie' equate to 'tops in total board shipments'? I was talking in relation to any other market.

I was obviously talking about total board shipments in the GRAPHICS WORKSTATION MARKET, since obviously, I am talking about Analyst reports on the GRAPHICS WORKSTATION MARKET.

There are low end workstations, mid range, and high end workstations.

3DLabs is only the leader in the high end.

Yeeeees I know, but I wasn't. I mean they have a have a much larger interest in the workstation market than they do any other (i.e consumer desktop/gaming) market so they are more likely to have more of an influence in that market than any others.
