Well CybaGirl,

Since you have not read reviews of the game, then perhaps you should read the one by by Neal Stevens, owner of this board, here: http://www.subsim.com/2010_03/review_sh5_mar2010.php

Since you have played all of the Silent Hunter games in the franchise, then you also realize that in Silent Hunter 2 & 3, you could play the Type II, Type VII, Type IX, and Type XXI u-boats. However, in Silent Hunter 5, you can only play the Type VII. I see this as a giant step back, not forward.

And why, do you mention Linux, as that too is not finished. Currently Linux is still under development. I mean thousands of programmers are still working on it to make it better.

I would also note that neither Linux nor Windows require me to be connected to the internet 100% of the time for them to work

Another item to note Microsoft STILL SUPPORTS WINDOWS XP after all these years. Does Ubisoft still support Silent Hunter 3 & 4? I think not.

Life is filled with making compromises. People have made compromises with using Linux or Windows. Us gamers made compromises with SH III & IV. However given the current volatile financial times, I have not, and will not compromise with Windows 7 nor Silent Hunter V. Why should I spend the cash when I am perfectly happy with XP and Silent Hunter 3/4.

Gimme back my Type IX!
