New That, was it and personifies Microsoft evil
WinG was the do-all and end-all of Windows games, better than sliced bread, was going to ultimize the gaming experience...

until Microsoft tossed it out.

It was the *ULTIMATE* in Microsoft crap, pre-announcing, doing stuff that wasn't worth sherlock until they got their *real* plans in gear. There was a Windoom that used WinG, and I'd bet id software kicks themselves for falling for the Microsoft bullshit.
