Is it really worth what it costs? Looks just like a new theme for XP, and it doesnt even support everything yet!

I'll be sticking with XP for quite some time.

As will I, the only reason I would get it for myself right now is DX 10, and I hope crysis is for XP, not just Vista.

Vista has been totally revamped when it comes to security, although to what extents still remain to be seen. Hackers have been working to try and find security holes in the system, and AFAIK, no major ones have been found so far. With Windows XP, Microsoft released a patch the 2nd week the OS was in stores to fix up a security hole. It also takes full advantage of a lot of the recent hardware advancements, such as undedicated processors, native 64-bit computing, MCE capabilities, and a hoard of other features.

But to what effect are these features better? It's too soon to know for sure.

EDIT:
Crysis is Vista only. It uses only DX10 shaders which will only be available on Vista. However, it may be ported to the Xbox 360, as Microsoft has said the Xbox 360 GPU is DX10 compliant.

I got Vista for free so it's worth the money for me... (NO I didn't download, it was a BIG rebate for the upgrade, so the shipping cost $9.99 and Vista didn't cost a thing...)
I'm glad I got it because I'm waiting for Halo 2 to come out on Vista...

A theme or the real thing?

S2000_Skyline12 · Post by **S2000_Skyline12** » 24 Feb 2007, 16:18

I think theme because the real one makes WMP11 fully transparent (Or so i have seen in some pics)
