Guest r3d c0m3t Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/other/display...0213233406.html This seems like a more reasonable persuasion, a new OS in 2009 right when official support for XP is discontinued. Whether it'll be better than Vista or not remains to be seen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voltes-5 Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 I was thinking of trying out the Vista, an upgrade one for my C2D/8800GTX, on an XP ProMCE. But it seems likely that it will not happen. I guess it will depend on the prices though, and users reviews from our guys here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KimTjik Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 If you want a smooth switch I suppose the same will apply then as now: it takes MS and other manufacturers quite a while before updates and drivers get the operating system fully functional and fairly secure, which leads to a difficult question: when will it ever be a better time to switch? Two years sounds to me like an impossible pace for MS, unless we're talking minor upgrades of a previous release. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ganiscol Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 If they make it out the door by 2009, it'll be what WinME was to W98 or XP was to W2k. No real reason to wait for that... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
boywander Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 Yeesh... 'While it is uncertain whether the world's largest software maker will need to patch Windows Vista...' Wondering for how long they plan to support Vista then - and for how long they'll actually end up doing so. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest r3d c0m3t Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 i dont see any reason why u shouldnt move to Vista... That's interesting. I can give you a few reasons: 1. Games don't perform as well. 2. DRM 3. DX10 games won't be around until late this year, or even next year. 4. Vista is resource hungry. 5. No hardware audio I could say more, but I believe I've given enough reasons. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redbeaver Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 i told u, i think its just me in my defense... 1. not that much difference. its still fun. and with the coming drivers, it'll get better. 2. i dont need to buy HD or BluRay...i dont even have an HDTV... 3. im playing SupremeCommander right now... 4. it is. but its more snappy than XP with my rig.... its fast. please, dont compare it to the BETA/RTM... 5. true. DxSound is not supported anymore and getting a driver is a b1tch, but like point#1, good drivers will come in time... and no, u dont need to say more, coz i know where u are, and trust me, i was there. and theres nothing wrong with that *sigh, i guess im just getting old and retiring on games...
