Don't think I hate Vista. I am getting it. Only costs me $10 from my college bookstore.  

When the XP and Vista Only discussion pops up people come in defending Vista by saying that they could only use Vista because XP isn't compatible and couldn't run it. That is true but only to a stupid fine point. YOu know why XP isn't compatible and Vista is? Microsoft wants you to buy Vista so they will do anything in their power to entise people to buyt it. You honestly can't think that a programing company such as Microsoft couldn't figure out a way to get their network and everything to work on XP.

Very simple. They want you to buy Vista. They are dumping all over current XP users. XP Could run it, they are just being very jerkish about these Vista only games expecially since they don't even use DX10.

Another thing. Window Live is a bad idea. It's cool at first but when you think about how they nickle and dime the 360 with stupid little download and such, think of when they start doing that with all your PC games. Everything will cost. They will probably put more restrictions on mods so they can keep track of charging people for new content and maps.

Think of if games like Unreal and Half Life 2 and if they were under windows live only. all those fun and free mods would decrease and be charged.

I loved Windows Live at first but now I just realise that it will eventually be a bad idea where I get nickled and dimed.

It's stupid, if you pay $50 a year then, all content should be free (atleast dirt cheap).

ms don't seem to understand that a new os should not be treated like a new console. I blame Peter Moore.

i dont plan on using vista until its the only thing available, not paying more than a dollar for it ever. all it is, is basically a new theme with a bunch of errors. and games being made vista only or pay to play is stupid. hopefully another os becomes bigger than microsoft one day...
