Is it just FUD though? John Carmack seems to agree with microsoft about the security concerns over exposing graphics drivers to the web. https://twitter.com/#!

  So what if one person agrees with MS, they are a marketing machine. How many years does John Carmack have invested in C++ programming for Windows games?

    "Doom was developed on NeXT workstations, under the NEXTSTEP operating system.[6] The Doom game engine was programmed in C, and the editing tools were written in Objective-C. The engine was first compiled with Intel's C compiler for DOS, but later Watcom's C/C++ compiler was used" [1] John Carmack is nothing if non-partisan when it comes to tools and platforms. Most everything he wrote was reasonably cross-platform C until id Tech 4, released in 2004. I'd say Carmack has zero years invested in C++ programming for Windows games. He instead has decades invested in making cross platform game engines written in a variety of C-based languages.

      OK then I mispoke. How many yers has Carmack invested in C based languages? Point is, he isn't being objective, he is invested in the old way of doing things, but so is everyone else. I should save my breath. Its the same with everything else in this 'civilization'.
