Vista gaming patch rumors

[Zargot]

hi. ive heard some rumors from a friend of mine, saying that microsoft is planning on releasing a patch for vista that makes it require about the same as xp from your computer, and make vista as good for gaming as xp. being a gamer, i prefer xp over vista, however if this is true, vista will be the superior choice.

is there any truth to these rumors? thanks for your time.

Doesn't seem likely, after all Vista uses up a lot more resources just to run.

It's true actually. I had a beta service pack and it actually improved the apparent desktop speed. As for games, it doesnt effect it at all (as far as i could tell).
I am guessing the "increased gaming speed" is pure propaganda.
