(R9700 still plays most games @ pretty decent Framerates with medium-high settings)
So I just dont think vista will be successful just now, cuz it wont run as it's supposed to on most people's PCs. I don't think too many ppl would buy a new PC just cuz MS released a new OS. In a couple of years time, when most ppl have got new vista capable PCs (upgraded due to different reasons than running vista) then it might start doing well.. until then... nope, aint paying £250 or something for a new OS which is a little more unnecessarily complicated than it's predecessor which does the same thing...]]>Dec 1st 2006 5:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/microsoft-releases-windows-vista-business/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/microsoft-releases-windows-vista-business/

While I have to hand it to Microsoft for moving their lumbering dinosaur of a company down the field to releasing software at all, I still hold that the fewer Microsoft products we get stuck using, the better. Too many workplaces make their employees use Office, and unfortunately there aren't many better alternatives out there.]]>Nov 30th 2006 7:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/microsoft-releases-windows-vista-business/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/microsoft-releases-windows-vista-business/Nov 30th 2006 7:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/microsoft-releases-windows-vista-business/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/microsoft-releases-windows-vista-business/Nov 30th 2006 7:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/microsoft-releases-windows-vista-business/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/microsoft-releases-windows-vista-business/Nov 30th 2006 7:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/microsoft-releases-windows-vista-business/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/microsoft-releases-windows-vista-business/Aging is -never- pretty.

You will spend less than money on Apple OS's based on features and innovation than you will with MS over 5 years. It is sad that a predominately hardware company is a good generation ahead, if not more, of the largest software company in the world. It is no wonder that Apple is touting Leopard as Vista 2.0.

@WindowsNow

I am not sure what thwarting the open source movement has to do with a standard software engineering process employed by all companies/non-companies. Actually, what would subvert the whole open source movement, would for MS to find more bugs before release, once they find a bug they fix it quicker than they usually do, or faster than the open source software community, that they had less bugs to begin with, they had less severe security vulnerabilities, and they nearly gave away their software for free. That my friend, would be true subversion to OSS.


Then again, you all can enjoy your monolithic Vista OS to your hearts content.

I swear you people have begun some kind of "Coalition for Guys Who Use the Word 'Over-Bloated' in Reference to Windows" initiative, because outside of Engadget posts about Vista or XP I have never heard that used before in regular dialogue.

"Over-bloated" with what? Drivers? A GUI?]]>Dec 2nd 2006 11:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/microsoft-releases-windows-vista-business/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/microsoft-releases-windows-vista-business/

On a side note, You would have to be a grade A retard to have had problems with XP on the level that some of you pretend you've had. Considering Apple's ineptness at fixing their ever growing list of security holes and the futility of Linux on the desktop, Vista will increase Microsoft market share rather easily. ]]>Dec 1st 2006 8:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/microsoft-releases-windows-vista-business/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/microsoft-releases-windows-vista-business/Dec 1st 2006 9:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/microsoft-releases-windows-vista-business/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/microsoft-releases-windows-vista-business/Dec 1st 2006 12:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/microsoft-releases-windows-vista-business/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/microsoft-releases-windows-vista-business/
It's not up on MSDNAA yet.

And it's quite a shame, too. My laptop is in dire need of a reformat, and I figured I'd wait until Vista launched.]]>Dec 2nd 2006 11:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/microsoft-releases-windows-vista-business/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/microsoft-releases-windows-vista-business/Dec 5th 2006 12:44AM
