Its only a suggest from a user. No info has been announced on the programming of GW2. But I would imagine it will remain Direct and not OpenGL.

All the suggestions from Mac users.. it would really be in their best interest to make gw2 also compatible with Mac OSX as well as XP/Vista. Seriously WoW looks the same in Windows/OSX so why cant anet make guildwars 2 compatable with both? Seriously.

I like the way you're thinking. But I wonder (not being a programmer by any stretch of the imagination), would that be too costly for them to consider?

I'd hope Guild Wars 2 features a nice graphical engine, and not a Crysis one, but also one that basicly turns the game into PacMan, the game would probably be a Gig or so bigger, but i'd say they'd hit all the Gamers out there, with low graphics/models/textures (very low, like pixely) and if you turn it up several degrees, you get bigger texture packs and much more realistic things, think of Half Life 2 graphics.
If they'd do that, it would be awesome, cause i do know the people that still have a hard time playing WoW on full...

12 year old kids dont always get enough moniez, well, i even knew a 17 year old who basicly ran Guild Wars at a meager 3-5 FPS, so uhh.. dont know whats wrong with people, but if you think about it, its already been done before.

Im eternally pissed off at microsoft for screwing all of us Windows XP users in oh proabaly 3 different ways.
1. Dx10 Needs Vista
2. Dx10 Needs Good dx10 supported Graphics card (mostly expensive NEW like made in year 2008 good gfx cards which are WAY expensive)
3. GAMES ONLY FIR WINDOWS VISTA.
Screw you microsoft.

1. Wrong, my XP computer runs DX10 fine...
2. Wrong, you can get a good 8800 512 GT for about $200, 8600 for $100...
3. Wrong, Halo 2 is the only game I've seen to ever req. vista.
Thank you for playing, good bye.

Another missconception:
It has been stated over & over before that you don't need Vista for Games for Windows. You don't even need a Vista for a Games for Windows Account.
I play SupCom, Forged Alliance & Civ4: Beyond the Sword (all GfW) on my XP, without a problem. (thanks again Forumite ;])
On-topic: I don't have a problem if they did, but I'm not really a Mac User, so I'll just stick to that comment.

Like Guild Wars, GW2 will be programmed to run on "most" computers. DX8 support will be dropped, DX9 will be required and DX10 will be supported. That is all the info that has been released so far.

Since we have no intel yet on system specs for GW2 that's hard to say, but since you put it as 'can it run' rather than 'can I have fun playing with', I'll go out on a limb and say, yes. Yes, a pc capable of slotting in a Gforce 8600 will be able to start up and run the game :-)
Oh, and wasn't the Shadowrun Game for Windows Vista only?
Could be mistaken, they did market it that way. The "whole Games for Windows" has as a subliminal message that you should get Vista for the ultimate experience, not XP. If the misconception is common, Microsoft's campaign is having the desired (by M$) effect.

Ermm, what's "expensive" is a very subjective matter, you know?
The 8600 isn't exactly a great performer either, you're better off with at least an ATI HD 3850.
Back to the OT, I too wish they could implement OpenGL support, or even better entrust someone to port GW2 to Linux/OSX.

Off-Topic.
Me Too ;D Awesome Game, had it around for a while, but didn't have HDD space, bought 1.1 TB of data space, and installed it, should've done it sooner :P
On-Topic:
Define Expensive yeah, some people don't earn $500 per minute, anyways, your getting at the mid-zone yes, 150-250 seems the best price/best bought Videocard price range.
