Back on topic:
Radical Pi, hows Vista so far?
Post by: spengo on January 30, 2007, 12:52:00 pm
Mostly, how's directx 10? imho, there's no point in having vista right now unless you have a geforce 8800 :D

Vista has nothing special about it's name, while XP is a cross between ":P" and "XD"
Post by: elfprince13 on January 31, 2007, 08:56:00 am
and besides, Vista has no features that OS X hasn't had for at least a year and a half.

Hehe, but you do not know the Apple world as I do...there is gossip that Steve Jobs is getting pretty sick...and if Steve Jobs leaves, so will Apple :devilol:

I'm sure I'll switch over to your 'better' OS's once I'm smart enough to work them, but for now Windoze is right for me. :P

. I can't wait to try it out even though I don't really like Vista personally.

I heard that if you try to download a game, Vista pops up a window that it could be dangerous. It does the same thing when you install the game or even play the downloaded game!

I should really read my school email more often. :P Anywho, I heard counter-strike still works at least so off I go into the wild blue yonder. I shall see if this Vista thing is worth it (since it's free lol!). If it sucks, I shall simply use teh backup to load XP pro again. :P

Besides, I highly doubt my computer would have any trouble running the fairly simple 3D effects of vista as well as a game.

| Yep, you will have to wait until the games say, "Vista Edition" like Halo 2, etc. to make full use of Direct X 10. |
Or until they have the Vista symbol with "Games for Windows" written across the white bar at the top.

Really, I didn't know that. Maybe it was Crysis then that was supposed to use it because I remember a certain game that was anticipated would use it.

No, seriously.
I'll upgrade to Vista...when all the bugs are worked out. And iTunes, is just as bad as WMP11. I personally use WMP11, because I have a Creative Zen Vision:M 60GB mp3 player. It's great =D
Post by: graywolf on February 24, 2007, 07:11:00 pm
(Even though there is no compelling reason to upgrade.)
Post by: spengo on February 25, 2007, 10:48:00 am
Aero is not *quite* as complex and fancy looking as it is in vista, but it's still pretty cool. =)
