I want vista but right now I don't have the right pc for it.
So I think is a bad decision this vista only version of the game; they should release an xp version at last this year. |

Probably subliminal government threats, and by "subliminal" I mean "they hold a gun to your head" |

Yeah, that and there's another thing(tho' not related to why people buy Vista):
If you buy a new PC(2.6 GHz, 2GBs RAM, 128 Video, $1000) you also get "Vista Home edition"! But that's not the problem, the problem is that, in case you're smart enough to ditch Vista and install a different OS, it VOIDS the warranty on the pc(normally 24 months).  |

Stick to Windows 2000
Or Linux 
Or at least XP.  But not Vista, at least until computer are a lot more powerful and Vista is greatly improved. |

Seems a lot of you missed that one:

Simply download a gamers Vista that is easily findable on the WaReZ sites.
Ripped from everything you don't need, and that's plenty ! Leaves one (1!) install CD , yes: 1 CD and perfect for gaming (not 'online' of course). 64-bit and darned faster than XP.
Ideal for dual boot, and multigaming via LAN.
You're a bad person if you should do that.
As you won't do that, I also don't have to tell you to be carefull, several warezed Vistas are worthless, even dangerous, so know what you're doing. |
FYI: I use it, it's darned much faster for gaming than XP.
I can run the latest games in high settings on it, in XP I must use low settings in 800x600. |

I'm not interested in whatever 8-16-32 b apps that don't run in Vista, That's for my Xp or older systems.
It's about the speed on the higher game settings you get with those ripped Vistas, they ARE fast.
And yes, games run pretty good in Vista, much better than in XP. Newer games that is of course, you really don't need Vista for Wing Commander.
But for FarCry,TombRaider Legend and Anniversary, FEAR, STALKER and such .... |

But wouldn't they have to be x64 games too? I mean, 32bit apps included games. lol. |

No, all (-or most-) newer games run in Vista, keep in mind it's on my single core AMD64, most problems occur with dual cores.
But you can run them by selecting a single core in settings, of course that's for crying out loud, as a half dual core is per definition slower then a normal single core as mine. |
