This is just sad. How the heck do you mix up "Vista Capable" with "Vista Premium Ready", everyone should know by now that Premium = Aero Glas....

well, im glad i haqvent got vista yet. Its not even finished yet. I think billy g deserves everything he gets. I dont know the difference between the versions and have heard nothing but bad news about its support especially for games and vertical sync. I aint touching it till hes finished it.

well, who cares, all that matters is that it doesnt work! thats why im sticking with xp. None of the versions have descent game support. Microsoft are a massive company, this sort of shoddy workmanship is a disgrace. Its a piece of shit.

i agree, that instead of improving the code and making it more efficient, it seems you need more and more resources to cope with this new system. If anything you should need less. It is bloatwarena don top of that there are silly flaws like the vertical sync thing, that really pisses me off. On vista i cant even play ut2k4, and none of my other games run properly on it. I know people who bought it and went back to xp just so they could play games. When you consider how long it has taken and the power of ms its unforgiveable. Lazy coding and support. Of course xp had problems at the start but never as bad as this. I dont get why its such a problem, for me there are no excuses. And i repeat, louder this time, its a peice of over prices badly written toilet paper.

just wait till you start to try to play alll your fave games, no vertical sync and runs like crap. Its a bloody cheek selling a os in such a poor state. I mean, they know exactly what xp uses and does, and they still cant get it right. ***** that fucksta

Far as I've seen elsewhere the Vertical Sync "problem" is "by design" & relies on games to set the preferred mode.

I have never run into this DRM scare on Vista so far, not that I am defending it, but DRM hasn't prevented me from doing anything yet in Vista.

Thats prolly because ITS TRUE! Every single Windows has been more and more resource hogging. For example put your ear on an idle Win98 machnines HD and then do the same with a Windows XP machines HD. You will quickly notice the HUGE difference.

Because that's how XP was designed. You'd best search up on it though. I'm just going by what has been said elsewhere. I may be wrong. Could just be lousy drivers too.

You seem to be working on the assumption that if it worked one way in the past it should never, ever, ever, be changed in the future.

hey i assume nothing. But vertical sync i didnt think was rocket science. Why is it such a problem. Jesus, look how long it has take to get this thing out and its crap, come on. And yeah, i expect it to work EVERY ***** time. If not let me be in charge so i can turn it on ffs.
