I've heard rumours that Vista is a total cop out and most of the promised features have been scrapped or cut back severely.
Apparently its security is really annoying, with up to six popup boxes to delete even a shortcut.
Halo 2 PC is gonna be Vista only I think, which will get lots of people to upgrade.
I'm sticking to XP for the time being tho. |

Beta's aren't meant to be uber stable, and without many bugs.
That's why it's beta. |

| long live linux. seems like vista will be requiring most people to upgrade their PC just run it. Windows is not a program, Windows is there to make everything else work, it is not required to eat the resources of a high class 3d game. |

| Except XP was a big improvement on every prevous version of windows - especially millenium! |

| XP wasnt that big of an improvement on Windows 2000, mostly it was just on driver issues and compatibility, the stability of XP relies alot on the solidness of 2000. Also when linux gets a good enough driver base and games i wouldnt mind using it. And yes i've used various distributions for a while but it gets annoying after a while, ever heard of user friendliness? :wtf: |

I heard that Vista didn't allow you to play mp3s that you don't legally purchase...
is this hearsay or is there any truth in this? I'm assuming the former. |
