Facts are facts. Vista runs games better at launch then XP did. I NEVER said anyone should use Vista at this time to replace XP for gaming though this will be inevitable at some point in the not so distant future. It is drivers and ONLY drivers at this time that is the problem for gaming. And it is incorrect that Vista is less secure then XP. It is more secure. Time does NOT make an OS more secure. It has quite the exact opposite effect. Why the hell do you think that there are new security updates for XP every month? There are new vulnerabilities exploited all the time and they target the most widely used OS's because it is a target rich environment. And you will have content protection like it or not. In fact you probably already do. If you use XP you will have it as well. I will check Nero for you to just for the pleasure of pointing out how wrong you are as you seem to be on a real hot streak. My SF protected games are working fine under Vista etc.
3D Flyer yours and Rattlers last posts are quite ill informed. Your arguments about ME are ludicrous and uninformed as well as ME was barely ANY different then 98 in any wayl. You guys are apparently experts at something you have absolutely no experience with at all. I spent my night last night installing game after game under Vista and all of them run pretty good. BF2142, Flaming Cliffs, Silent Hunter 3, Flight SimX, Steel Beasts Pro, Star trek Legacy, Elder Scrolls etc. The list goes on and on. They have some ISSUES due to BETA drivers but they run pretty good overall and better with each new driver release. That is all I am trying to say.
I am a simmer as well Rattler. I have alot of money invested in my modded Cougars and all quite high end gear so this is something I understand quite well. I am seeing that most of my gear works fine under Vista as well. Cougar, TIR, Ivibe, Touchbuddy etc, all work which is a really good start this close after Vistas launch.
I do not want you to buy Vista. I could really care less if you do or not. I just think you are grossly exaggerating and spreading unnecessary fear, and I have learned to bristle at the thought of such uninformed drivel.
Edit: Nero: Already done, you are of course wrong about Nero as well.
Fully Vista certified.
