Well the thing here is.. Do E-On want to sell more or less. If E-ON is aiming at the proffessional 3D industry then it might be OK to talk about 'gamer' cards as not being real 3D cards. If however they are aiming at a broader market witch adverticeing and the pricetag indicates then it's not OK. It's OK that not the fancy stuff works on those card and that something more is offered to the users with proffecional 3D cards but the 'normal' user should at least have a working standard OpenGL so that they don't feel totaly ignored. E-On can't expect card manufacturers to adopt to the demand of E-On and E-On cant expect that ordinary users that don't make money on what they produce, whould pay as much for the craphic card alone as the rest of the computer because that will never happen. I also must say that I have not seen information prior to buying Vue that informed me about the fact that OpenGL in practice not will work on most 3D cards. Still... I prefere Vue without OpenGL before Bryces irritating none standard interface. But I won't upgrade untill E-On makes the OpenGL work on the harware that probably the mayority of the users have.
