360 still has best texture quality and antialiasing but the ps3 has made a huge step since the first graphics comparisons, and like then the ps3 has some titles that are better in terms of graphics. I'm glad with that, cause imo both consoles are equal to each other. Both of them are great but there will always be a favourite console. It doesn't mean that if you love Lamborghini, Ferrari sucks. I hope we all live in a world where we can live together, not next to each other, so we don't have to argue about which console is the best. Cause the best console is yours, being it a 360 or a ps3, period.
It's hard to see any real difference between Vista and XP at very high quality imo, and people won't be able to tell if your game is running on Vista or XP. You can only notice some very minor differences in shading and lighting for example, when you can compare the two OS like above. If this is DX10, well then i'm not impressed when i compare it to DX9.0c. It sure is better (of course) but i expected it to be a bit more jaw-dropping. This game looks superb on both OS and with the same settings, i can't really tell which version is looking better than the other and why.
Grand Theft Auto III is probably the best game to start the "Greatest games of all times" thing. I have ALWAYS liked it. The freedom, smooth graphics (especially now with hardware that is so much better than when i played it for the first time), the humor, the atmosphere,... everything made the game feel perfect. A game like it had to be. That's why i'm not the only one who still plays the game nowadays. Grand Theft Auto III deserves it to be called (one of) the greatest games of all times. Period.
Imo, my first reaction when the first news on $ony's PS3 was: WOW, THIS CONSOLE IS GOING TO BLOW EVERYTHING AWAY. When i saw the first screens of Motorstorm, i couldn't believe my eyes. I preordered my PS3 a few months ago, but asked my money back. I hated the Xbox 360, and you know why? Because i couldn't take it that it had more success than $ony's PS3, and i'm pretty sure a lot of us were the same. Now, the only thing i can say is: Microsoft, hat off because you did a great job with the 360, even with its problems in the beginning (which were solved pretty quickly). Now, i don't want to start a war, i'm not a PS3/X360 fanboy, i'm only saying that my opinion and view about these two consoles and their developing company changed after i read all the cons about the PS3. Worldwide release my ass. It's always the same. What else have we got? No HDMI cable included? Hmm... Did anyone saw/read the article here on Gamespot about the PS3's and X360's graphics? Damn, Microsoft did it again, props. Yet, i was disappointed because i was so looking forward to the PS3. Then the backwards compatibility. No more words needed, and i'm sure i'm overlooking something. Not to mention the €/$600. Again, for €/$400 you have an X360 with better graphics, more games, more certainty. When you buy an X360, you get what you pay for imo. I don't own a PS3 yet, and it will take a lot of time for me to eventually buy one, as i don't see any pros but nothing else than cons:( I also don't own a 360, also not planning on buying one because i'm not used to its controller and i've always been a PC gamer. Unfortunately, a high end graphics card costs more than a PS3. Stupid? Yes. I hate things like this, but as long as i'm saving my money, i have time to think about which choice i would make in the future. You never know what will happen, what time will bring. And last but not least: this was only my opinion, i am not a PS3/X360/PC fanboy, i'm only saying that i've always been a pc gamer. Microsoft has again proven that it can keep up against $ony's technology, and unfortunately $ony has made another mistake, which caused the company to lose a lot of true fans. The PS3 is not a failure, but isn't ready for the market. I hope that $ony will open their eyes, that they will do it like Kazunori Yamauchi (see Gran Turismo series): release it when it's done, not when you feel like there's not much time left because of the concurrent Microsoft. It's better to offer a finished product that works like it has to than to make a big, maybe fatal mistake of releasing it too quickly with all negative comments as a result. Sorry for my english (i'm from Belgium) but it should be clear what i'm saying here;) Hope this wall of text was interesting enough and that it maybe did you look things from the other side.

To me, Windows Vista seems to be the best and most promising operating system that has ever been made. Of course, because it is the most recent platform available on the market. I really like the interface and features, and i am 100% sure i will buy the Ultimate version later this year, when i have the money to buy myself a brand new computer with all the bells etc. I can't wait to get my hands on this, and to experience a new milestone in computer history. This is it. I can't believe it but Microsoft did it again. Thank you Bill Gates, and thank you all to make this happen. Welcome to the 21st century, where future is what leads us.
