Jegriva: For work it's turned on 120h at week (most of the time rendering with Adobe Premeiere and After Effects) since two years and a half. NEVER a single hiccup. Amazing machine and software (10.6). Even silent.

Carnalspoil: Correlation does not imply causation. You would get the same quality, performance and noise with a thousand dollar custom build with significantly better hardware. You paid a stupidly excessive amount of money for an inferior product.
Custom Build? For professional work?

If I want a car, I buy a car, I don't build one.

BadDecissions: You were not backstabbed, and you are not owed an apology. You did not get Linux, after Enigmatic T explicitly said, multiple times, that they were not planning to offer Linux. Oh, the betrayal.

Duffadash: "But the plans were on display..." "On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them." "That's the display department." "With a flashlight." "Ah, well, the lights had probably gone." "So had the stairs." "But look, you found the notice, didn't you?" "Yes," said Arthur. "yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of the Leopard.'"
Even though I think you are being ridiculous, I have to applaud your reference. An awesome moment in a book full of awesome moments.

Here's the thing...this whole event DID get overblown. But you know who's responsible for that?

The users.

It was a self-inflicted wound.

And it happens every damn time.

GOG announces an upcoming press event and the user base works itself in to a lather over what it could be, constantly blowing up their expectations until they reach such a stratospheric level that NOTHING can meet them. So of course it's disappointing.

GOG has certainly been guilty of grossly over marketing things in the past, but I really don't think they did so this time around. We did this to ourselves.
