[ut3] The whole PC gaming thing

[ceil420 at gmail.com]

Most virtual machines don't allow 3D acceleration, IIRC. I'm pretty sure the ones that do cost, and even then I think they're buggy.

Anyway, even if I could, I wouldn't. I vowed to never install Microsoft software or buy their hardware until they've straightened up their act (on many levels). They've not yet done so. For me, it's native or nothing.
