Who said anything about "native"? I have absolutely no illusions about a native STO edition for Linux. However... WINE may eventually be able to run STO. Currently it can do Guild Wars and WoW... perhaps a few other MMOs. May take a year or so, but I'm hopeful to be able to join the fleet in STO while running my favorite Linux distro!

Windows 7 is much better than Vista or windows XP.. So if you're like me and need windows for gaming, then win 7 is by far the best version available. I doubt there will be a native linux version of STO anytime soon :/

Re: 12th Fleet Chatter Box
The lifetime subscription is very tempting, but I'll probably get it at the full price since there are other things I'm needing.

Good to know... I'll probably be getting a new rig soon, so I'm sure it will have win 7 on it.Torp wrote: Windows 7 is brilliant!

Re: 12th Fleet Chatter Box
How much is windows 7 anyway? I am really thinking about picking it up I hear it has some nice drivers and does less drain on RAM.
