Rage Linux Port Is Not Likely Until 2012

There is this general (and extremely wrong) idea that XP is faster than Vista and Windows 7.
The problem with the introduction of Windows NT 6.x (which is what Vista and Windows 7 is) is threefold:
-Old apps run sandboxed and therefore slower; NT 6.x apps runs faster;
-RAM is, just like Linux, mostly cached and optimized for bigger RAM size (Windows Vista actually consumes in the megabites < 300MB);
-Designed to be optimized for newer hardware, thus older hardware functions on a "Good enough to boot Word"-level.

win xp does not have aero/gnome3 for exemple that needs a lot of the GPU and so on....

L4D is very good with it and latest drivers for Rage .
to talk about Rage , it is a KILLER Game . very few people can have it playable , according to the first 20 minutes i played with XP X64 ;']
it uses around 500 Mo of Ram and Max is 1 Go
but it mostly use my 2x 4cores HT at 50 - 70 % : 12 cpu at full load
i ll post more later

cant find the link. im forced to use 11.8 atm. cuz 11.9 has some random x crashes

I want to report a fresh interview of Carmack so probably we stop deceiving ourself from playing Rage on linux:
Carmack: PC Not The Leading Platform For Games
An abstract:
?We do not see the PC as the leading platform for games??Nowadays most of the quality of a game comes from the development effort put into it, not the technology it runs on. A game built with a tenth the resources on a platform 10 times as powerful would be an inferior product in almost all cases.?

Declarations of John Carmack about PC version.
