Most of MS'es innovations are more like, requiring everyone to carry their
own MFlashLite(TM) v. 2.11, instead of the sun, and you cannot see the
paintings with MFlashLite(TM) v.2.10, and it first automatically displays
its logo and then projects slides of ads for companies that gave MS $$ for
30 seconds before operating as a normal light.

Can the pov community buck this trend??

Opinions not those of my employer in any way.........

Right, which is why you should set your gamma to 1.8. Oh sure, there are
people out there who do graphic work with things that aren't Macs, but
they don't count. ;)

Greg has a point, though.. requiring everyone on the world to adhere to
a specific set of monitor settings when there was no computing-wide
standard to begin with is a bit, hmm.. arrogant? Monolithic? (Especially
when PC graphics are so nasty anyway.) Apple had an easier and more
compatible idea in ColorSync; unfortunately, it didn't catch on nearly
as well as they'd hoped.

How.....interesting.  The monitor for my computer has a gamma of either 1.7
(under windows) or 2.6 (DOS, Linux, etc.).  Neither of these is particularly
close to 2.2.

Does it have a refresh rate indicator? Gamma varies a lot with screen
resolution and refresh rate.

The refresh rate is the same in all situations.  The reason for the
difference is that the video driver under Windows is providing a gamma
correction of 1.12 (or so it says).
