You got to at least respect the fact that the guy made an apology (in public), some people never admit they're wrong, look at Bush/Blair, they've killed 10s of thousands of innocent people yet they refuse point blank to apologise for anything they've said or done, ok, might be an inappropriate comparison in some respect but I think it makes the point.
The older versions of 3DMark had their uses but the latest one won't even run on my pc and I'll be damned if I'm going to pay huge sums of money (we're not all rich on this planet) to some corporation (or one of it's subsiduaries) for the latest gfx card when my existing one - which cost a bomb originally and is now worth next to nothing - does the job I need it to do just fine.
If this guy wants to produce some software which spits out a number at the end of it's run cycle and makes people think their pc is not up to the job then fair enough, good luck to him and his company, if people are dumb enough to actually pay money for this software, then good luck to them too, they are free to do whatever they like.
