It will play all the games you want, is F'in windows.

Open GL will be run through direct X (probably to force developers to buy and use MICROSOFT direct X). btw forcing OGL to run under direct X makes it have to run extra code (more code = run slower) and keeps it from making use of new features in games (say pixle shader 4 when it gets out). Please name those "number of other things" &&|| go read the news on vista.

With mac's incompatibility with most games, what would we do to play PC games? Microsoft knows that Windows XP is the number one OS for gamers, they're not going to piss off a huge chunk of their potential end users.

Mabye Caris is confused by the recent annoucement that MS is going a bit towards UNix by seperating the kernel from the graphics shell. According to MS, 9/10 crashes was due to graphical driver errors or some shit like that. If they had the shell seperate, compatability issues (leading to crashes) would be nullified. Unix has been doing this from the start (that's how it can be so compatible).

 

Of course, this would take up a slight amount of resources, nothing drastic though. If you have the recommended Vista specs it should be zilch problem. And if MS is right, it should help stability a lot.

Hope this helped.

Apparantly you forgot to add 'reads the goddamn thread' in between there.

 

I'm surprised anyone would actually consider the possibility of Windows no longer being a gaming platform... they'd lose LOADS.

 

What in bad connection is Windows Vista? please tell me

 

I'm not sure if that was serious or not, but I'll just respond to it seriously then.

 

I don't say this often but: GOOGLE, beotch.

i doubt coperation will be using the vista ultimate edition, and since the ultimate edition is gonar be M$'s flagship o/s, i beleive there gonar put something in there EULA which will state that u have to activate it, via the internet or sumthing, (like HL2 with steam)

Yeah. I think there was also rumor of a statment in the EULA that said to activate the Ultimate edition you also have to suck off Bill Gates.

I still don't get what's so exciting about it's la-de-da new interface design. I just want the 64-bit functionality for my desktop.

The for me most important new part of Windows Vista was dropped - a new file system. So right now I don't need another Windows any soon. First thing I did in WinXP is turn off all the graphic stuff so that it looks like W2K again. Believe me Windows Vista will have the same game support like WinXP. Microsoft can't afford to alienate gamers because most bigger companies don't switch a OS right after launch. That is why there is still (although limited) support for Windows 2000. I wouldn't worry too much about that right now.

God that looks sexy.

 

Oh and system_error, WinFS has passed beta 1. It wouldn't ship with Vista, but will be added very soon after launch.

 

Also, technically it's not a file system. It just sorts everything and adds on to NTFS.
