What is actually better about Vista? It's pretty? It's cool?
Games run slower, DX10 is a sham.
I am not saying I hate Vista, but just like I did with XP, I will wait until SP2 before converting.
Right now Vista has nothing to offer me. Just like XP really had nothing to offer me when I was using 98. But yes, XP is much more stable than 98 was, so it was worth converting to XP.
Maybe in a couple of years I will make the change, but not right now.
Besides, I have a feeling that DX10 will be ported to XP, mostly because of lack of sales of vista, and the game companys are going to pressure Microsoft into porting it.
Just like Dell and a couple of other companys are selling XP again in their new systems.
Why are they doing it? Because the people demanded it. They did not want to purchase a system that has little or no support for hardware (printers, cameras and such).
Why are people crying about the lack of support for their older equipment? Are you kidding?
If you are in your teens, and have not spent years buying printers and other things to run with your system, then it's not a big deal.
When I spend a couple of hundred for a printer, I expect that printer to work on any windows based system I buy. Why throw away equipment that is perfect, except it won't run on Vista.
That's a pretty arrogant way to think if you ask me. Newer is not always better!
