This is going to have a lot of ripple effect throughout the Linux community in that game developers will quite possibly have the ability to do low latency OpenGL, frame accurate video and other things along those lines. The previous Linux kernels without these mods couldn't allow this level of temporal precious for application developers. It's going to push applications like jackd and others in ways that will flush out bugs and general techniques that aren't typically apart of a proper RT applications. We have the possibility of providing a first class gaming platform and other things, that Longhorn can't beging to touch if the middleware falls into place. :) bill
