I'm not sure, cause lots of proggrammes might not work on there because they are made for 2000 or XP

There will be so many flaws I'll wait till they patch it. In the mean time I need to upgrade my PC.

Back on topic, I wont be getting it until it is actually worth switching from XP. Wow, we can use Halo 2 if we get Vista. Big Deal.

No thanks.

Crysis, Alan Wake, etc, will all be DX10 with basic DX9 support. Looks like MS have been quietly funding some top games to push people into getting Vista. It's all a mess, really. I don't remember this with Windows 95, but I could be wrong.

BF2 btw was the first game solely for windows XP, because they felt so sure that it would actually work properly. Tbh I'll wait for my new PC to get vista and put a partition on with XP as well as Vista and run XP less when Vista gets better.

Not getting it until they release ATLEAST 1sp. May I remind you how many updates they had within ONE day of release... 74mb I believe?

In comparison to XP (for gaming and use by us tech-heads/more than average users, It is less stable, and support is bad ATM. Although I'm used to bad support from using XP x64...
