GameSpot's story on Windows Vista. In my opinion, it looks like we're all going to be screwed. For one, it looks like DirectX 10 will be Vista EXCLUSIVE (or at least when it first comes out). If it stays that way, it means that there's a pretty good chance of NO new games coming out under Windows 98, ME, 2000, or XP! They'll be FORCING PC gamers to move over to this resource-draining operating system!

I just pray that DirectX 10 doesn't stay exclusive. I don't mind missing out on Halo 2 PC, since there are better PC shooters out there, but still, if they take ALL new games with them, that's going to just suck GREATLY.

What the crap!?

Oh, and what's with the complete 3-D graphing of EVERYTHING on the desktop? This is not freaking neccessary at all! I want an OS that works, not something so pretty it's going to become absolutely non-functional! Come on MicroSoft! Why are you stealing Mac OS's layouts all the time! Can't you just stay with something simple that works, like Windows 3.1?

This change also means that Microsoft will not release DirectX 10 for Windows XP, because many of the Direct3D10 improvements will need the new Windows Vista Display Driver Model.

And seeing how we can't use XP for direct X 10 games we are screwed big time.

I don't give a crap about windows Vista's user interferance, just give windows XP a new Freakin update, so it can run the freakin direct X 10. How hard is that to microsoft? Its not, they are so freakin selfish and want our money and they try getting away with every freakin thing they possibly freakin can. They're thieves, they're cheap, all they want is their freakin money. They still every good idea Mac comes up with, just like the freakin start menu.

This all is just pathetic. And a good answer to the topic title's question, yes we are freakin screwed. ><

Maybe its a marketing technique. That would suck, but i'm not a PC gamer. I am not good with computer updates, I'd never keep up with them. ^^ But, Microsoft is gay, thats why they did that. Maybe they want you to switch to Xbox.

This reminds me of Internet Explorer, which has not been updated for years, because of financial reasons.

Then Microsoft put big security holes in the computers, so people could buy their annual patch.

Microsoft sucks hard.

Windows Vista is nothing compared to the fartOS

When people were complaining about Vista, they didn't yet anticipate the horrors of Windows 8!

Apparently not, hehe.

I liked Vista you butts!

I liked Vista you butts!

I am currently using Vista, and have no problems with it either. But back then, everyone was complaining how Vista sucked and stuff like that. Pretty much the same as Windows 8 these days. In 5 years to come, people will say how goood Windows 8 was and how bad the current version is.

Hey! Double posting is cheating!

My laptop came with VIsta, t'was ok.

Well, it's just my opinion, but it's definitely better than Windows 8. I preferred Windows XP over all of them though.

Meh, I'd take 7 over XP in honesty.

I loved Vista but 7 was the ultimate wiener.

7 seems to be the new XP in terms of popularity.

Windows 8(.1) is OK when you configure it to not suddenly flush you into the touchscreen stuff. I'm staying at 7 though.

I've dabbled in 8, and while the tile interface is OK I guess, if you're using a touchscreen. I really don't like using it with a mouse.

It seems like MS didn't really test W8 with touchless PCs too much.

Were they seriously thinking people would buy those touchscreen adapters and touchscreens for their desktops?
