Ever since he mentioned that you don't need to start at the beginning in order to get to a certain stage, i've just felt like it will be a bunch of mini-games, without present decisions being made in the current stage affecting your options in future stages of, what i assume, is the evolution of your creature(s). I have a feeling that the expansion pack he's been working on [penny-arcade.com] will be a ton better.

In soviet Russia, RAM loves EWE!

Looks like I won't be able to install Spore

I had to make room for a more imminent releases like Duke Nukem Forever, The Arrival of Godot and Jesus, The Second Coming.

Apparently, on Linux even 4GB of RAM won't make it playable.

That's better than bitting into your pillow every night, I guess.

Does knowing this before everyone else make me cool?

This is Slashdot. We're geeks. That's how we define cool.

Actually Vista is a result of early Spore beta testing... they put Windows ME in to the game and ran it in simulation mode for 7 years... Vista is what came out, though apparently there were several variations (Home, Professional, Business, Ultimate)
