The tipping point for online games (Download Squad)

Jan 19th 2007 12:54PM Huh. Good to know, but for some people $500 (the cost of a medium-good used laptop) is in fact a pretty high bar to *start learning* a language you don't even know you're going to like or use. I understand they have a 30-day trial, but they really need a free-to-home-users/hobbyists/students "lite" edition that's free forever (with appropriate license restrictions) that people can cut their teeth on, before they have a chance of becoming as widely accepted as XML/HTML or C++/Java. If the history of computer programming has taught us anything, it's that closed languages will never survive in the long run.
