I am seriously surprised that something like CSS - which is a little 
unstable with a *real* copy of Windoze - could be coaxed to actually 
work properly using any kind of emulation technology. I mean, just think 
of the level of low-level performance-squeezing trickery that goes into 
a headline games title like that... it's staggering! o_O

Did I ever mention that I really *hate* recursive acronyms?
