Since I am bored, might as well do a Halo 2 graphic comparison between xbox and Windows Vista.

the vista version does look better...but i really don\'t know what to think of vista...i\'ve heard good and bad things about it.

Vista blows. It still needs a few years to get things worked out.

One would hope that they could improve on a 4 year old game. Not to mention, porting it to a platform with better specs.

Yea, that\'s all I want to add.

Yeah...I don\'t really see the point of the comparison. It\'s like "PS1 vs. PS3!!11 T3h PS3 looks betterZz!!1"

Vista is the new Windows ME.

isn\'t Vista going to be required for the future of PC gaming?

DirectX 10 is the "future", yes. I watched an interview with id Software [Doom] saying they believe DirectX 9 has about 4-5 years left in it and they don\'t care for developing for Vista anytime soon.

Exactly, everyone is still pretty damn content with their XP pro. People won\'t hop onto a new OS until the one after Vista.

Until developers truly take advantage of DirecX10, there is no reason to bother upgrading. The only game that has truly taken any advantage of 10 is \'Call of Juarez\' and the gameplay for that one sucks. Hell, some games take a hit in performance when going from 9 to 10.

Code named "Windows 7", which last I read had a target release date of 2010.

Didn\'t some l33t h4x0rz make a DX10 patch for XP?

This is not True. Even if Vista matures it will always be a piece of crap OS. The problems with Vista are not ones that can be corrected with updates.

This is like saying that Windows ME was only shit because of the lack of committed upgrades.

XP will be around for a very long time, and while it does Ubuntu and OSX Leopard will gain more market share.

M$ plans to release an new OS in 3 years since vista has turned into a monstrous faliure, with that being said it was well known months before vista \'s official release that it was going to bomb. If you ever read the M$ head programmer employee blogs they were informing the public of the mis management in the OS\'s creation and how a wonderful idea(minus the DRM) turned into a Nightmare. Matter of fact many parts of vista had to be rebuilt 10 months before it\'s release all those years they had down the drain, heck what ever happened to revolutionary WINFS.

I quit using Vista once it I realized it was having problems doing simple things such as calculating time for a large file transfer. Uninstalled it and put XP Pro on my laptop.

So, now I am running....

XP PRO / Kubuntu (Main)
XP PRO (Laptop)
My DVR system will be running MtyhKnoppix, most likely.
