All up.. if its the Server you're talking about, its not meant to be a Gaming OS.. Gaming Server OS, yes, and a damn fine job it does (I love being on the Beta for it ;-)).

If you've got hold of a Longhorn download, Its too new to being released to have support I think?

Longhorn is still in Alpha, so theoretically nobody should have a download of it yet ;) :p

151528 2003-06-10 12:08:00 the version I got is w2k3 120 day time-limited version. I got this version when I attended their release lectures. although a MS rep promised me a set of visual studio(time-limited), I never receive it.

w2003 RC1 supported openGL. not sure about RC2. MS may have removed openGL support in the final version.
