Vista is'nt expensive, here in the UK, Vista Home Basic is around £55, possibly more, while Ultimate Edition is around £120 (All OEM copies obviously) XP meanwhile is still selling for over £60. What i can see, is some people are unhappy with change, and are sticking with XP, but, if you want all the Dx10 glory, your gonna need to get Vista. Why MS are bothering with XP SP3 i don't know. This game will hit shelfs a while after that. Shops are going to be removing XP from shelfs June 08. It is dificult to work with - companies are starting to (yes still slowly but they are doing it) put Linux on their workstations rather then get Vista.
Vista is a hardware hog - all that eye candy costs - people have seen over 50% drop in performance from Xp to Vista.

I checked Steam (Valve's download able service) hardware/software statistics the other day when I submitted mine - Vista was something like 4% of users.ĭevelopers do not want to stay exclusive to Vista - look at Gears of War for PC - XP and Vista on announcement, Starcraft 2 - Developed for XP, says right in the FAQ, Crysis - again DirectX9 and 10 - nothing that is coming out until the end of year is Vista exclusive because people are unwilling to loose money by making games for system that does not sell. Shadowrun is Vista only - the game is dead weight - the studio that made it got liquidated within a month of release, developers being scattered to other Microsoft development teams - same fate will await MSTS2. The names of actual companies and products mentioned herein may be the trademarks of their respective owners.Īnother game that will not sell no Vista will not get MS anywhere - experts are already calling on them to abandon the whole OS altogether and move on to the next version. in the United States and/or other countries.
