How many ts can you find in:
I hope Windows XP stays the de facto for gaming. I am not sure if my computer can handle Vista or not. But hey, if a 1.6 Ghz can run Oblivion on the Ultra high settings I suppose I have nothing to worry about.
I guess the confusion that was winXP Home and Pro was not enough.
ExtremeTech also has a look at Windows gaming using Vista, from the recent Meltdown 2005 gig.
ZDNET: Updside: In Windows Vista, Microsoft borrows a lot of clever ideas from its competitors.
btw, whatever you do, if you are going to create a new partition to dual boot Vista, do not use Acronis Disk Director or youll regret it. Use Partition Magic, QTparted or similar.
Vista RC1 (Build 5600) is now open to the public.
I suggest that those of you with the hardware to run it, grab it and install in a dual boot partition.
Since this as close to finished code as its going to get, if you dont want to buy it when it comes out, at least you get to play with it forever.
If you are going to dual-boot, here are some resources to help you out. But WHATEVER you do, do NOT use Acronis Disk Director to partition the drive or youll regret it.
So if that means it has an in-built inactivation timer, its not really worth downloading for anything other than trying out. If that means they just wont support it any more, I can live with that. I just dont want to spend a week of overnight download sessions (I figure thats about how long it would take on my connection) for something thatll only work for 9 months.
Well its free and it is designed to be a try out.
Probably already started those download sessions too.
No, I havent yet, still in two minds (working on so many projects at the moment, not sure I want to start another) I probably will at some point, though.
Hmmm, so much for that. If Im reading that right and want to just fresh install Vista, I can do it only 10 times?  I reinstall OSs more often than that just to refresh it.
I Agree with SC that XP will remain the Standard for Gaming and enthusists, but Vista is comming whether we like it or not, and when Dell and other companies start puting vista on computers by default...
Guess whats going to happen.
-Hardware Vendors will update their drivers.
-The software vendors take notice of the above.
Then M$ will shove vista down our throats like they did XP and the people will love them for it because they dont know any better.

Saddly though a lot of hard core gamers wont read those articles and will still buy the stupid software anyway.
 Sounds like it to me.
