Re: OT: VISTA
Vista isn't worth being bribed $1000 to use. It's EVIL.

Re: OT: VISTA
There's a rumour going around that SE7 will require DirectX 10. Untill then, I'm happy sticking with XP.

Re: OT: VISTA
I have also read that it is not very game friendly, and has issues with older games because of its new Direct X drivers.

Re: OT: VISTA
The whole DX thing is a nightmare for game developers that may just very well come back to bite M$ in the butt.

Re: OT: VISTA
Good news... MS announced yesterday that they were already working on Service Pack 1 for Vista. o..m..g.. less than 48 hours after the launch and they make this announcement?
I was gonna buy vista, but guess what, if SP1 is just around the corner (a year or so I guess based on the speed of getting vista out) I'll wait till the bleeding edge (dare I say idiots) finish beta testing vista for MS at their own risk. (and their own expense).
I searched for 'compatibility' with XP and found nothing of use to me. How would I know if any and all my programs will run under vista?
Anyways, I'm gonna wait. XP works fine and I see no urgent need to jump on the bandwagon.
Nuf said, Cheers!  |

Wasn't aware that EditPad had a Linux version. Interesting.

Re: OT: VISTA
For any software today to not support a mouse is pretty near inexcusable.
