What, you're still using Windows XP? Oh wow, I'm having a nostalgic moment right now. Maybe you should upgrade to windows 7 and look into DirectX11

[Leadwerks]

@TheRealNici I have every operating system. I primarily use Windows XP because it doesn't have a bunch of crap everywhere.

[TheRealNici]

@Leadwerks I felt that Win7 is less crappy than WinXP, and to be honest, it'd be nice to have support for DirectX11 as a game engine developer, or doesnt it? :D

[Leadwerks]

@TheRealNici OpenGL 4 has tessellation like DX11, and runs on Windows XP, Vista, 7, and may work on Mac this summer. I have no interest in DirectX 11.

Very nice work, Josh! Also, by looking at the comments on your blog post on the Leadwerks website, I can tell you are starting to seriously listen to customer feedback and suggestions for the engine (not that you haven't before, you just do it more now), and I like it! I must say, this engine is already looking better than the second one. Keep up the good work!

@PrelimseStudios During the development of LE2 we created all our really powerful and unique algorithms, and LE3 is us taking that research and turning it into a more user-friendly product.

@TheRealNici it was a little blury to me i got the just of it so thanks for clearing it up 100% and again i end with you make a good point

[TheRealNici]

@t1oxETy Uh, okay. So here's a little tipp: User rights management is something that is very, very, very important for security. The fact that Windows XP has messed up user permissions is a very welcome exploit for malware. I'm not sure if you get this, but Windows Vista/7 tried to fix one of the most important security issues windows has had for years. And it kind of succeeded. So my question is whether you understand the concept.

[t1oxETy]

@TheRealNici see know i thing your working to hard to prove a point :p your taking it way off the tracks of what most people would understand its like trying to convince a chatholic priest that metal music isnt satanic they dont under stand the concept and they dont care to :p so why bother make the argument (you do make a vary good point though)

[TheRealNici]

@t1oxETy Programs can fuck around on your harddrive wherever they want? I think that is quite a problem.

[t1oxETy]

@TheRealNici i see no problem with it now :p at first it was really bad but now its fine :p

[TheRealNici]

@t1oxETy That's a pretty fucking big issue.

Of course, there's other things such as the fact that Windows XP 64bit wasn't really good at all. When I first used it, it was buggy as hell. Maybe they patched it somewhen, but it was far more horrible than Vista 64bit and 7 64bit.

[t1oxETy]

@TheRealNici thats all?...lool

[TheRealNici]

@t1oxETy XP has got a very loose concept of user permissions

[t1oxETy]

@TheRealNici whats wrong with XP.

[Geoxile]

Looks cool, when do you expect to have it ready?
