Doesn't that also depend on how and why you play them? Back in the day, I couldn't finish any Sierra (or LucasArts) adventures without a walkthrough. I did finish them with a walkthrough, because for me the fun was in seeing how t

Although I can see the advantages for Microsoft, I don't think it's a good thing that the browser engine landscape is going to get even more homogeneous. Firefox is now the only web browser of note that is not based on a WebKit&#x
