Huh. Hmm.

XNA!

Now I get it. :)

(Btw, whatever happened to TAOS, and their virtual-machine technology? That looked really, really promising. I saw something released a couple of years back, the Amiga Digital Environment, with a Windows' download, even, but then nothing more. Apparently ADE used some of their tech. The writeup about their company in EDGE years ago even pointed out that they wanted to use it for arcade games and stuff too, not just computers. Anyways, sorry to ramble again.)
