Is vista worth it?

Is vista worth getting for all the games that would be coming out for it?Bluffmstr

The code name "Blackcomb" was originally assigned to a version of Windows that was planned to follow Windows XP codenamed "Whistler;"  in both client and server versions. However, in August 2001, the release of Blackcomb was pushed back several years and Vista  was announced as a release between XP and Blackcomb!! Yes,Vista is just another Windows ME! Remember Windows ME, it was released between Windows 98 and XP! Microsoft is at it again guys, putting out a early test version, and as with ME, driver issues and lack of support abound!

 As of 2006, code name "Blackcomb" is still planned as both a client and server release with a current release estimate of late 2009.  A recent article provided from Yahoo!News projected the release date to be closer to 2009.

I have Vista and a powerful ATI card. That dude up there has Vista and powerful Nivida cards in SLI. FEAR runs great on my machine maxxed at high res. FEAR runs bad on his machine maxxed at high res.

in fact ALL my games run great maxxed (except for oblivion, gotta lower some sets on that) on high res.

List of my games that run fine.

Oblivion, Sims 2, CS: source. 3 mods for BF2, BF2 vanilla, Falcon 4.0 (old game!!), Americas Army, Age of Empires II(Old game!!), Rainbow 6 Vegas, Civ IV. Civ II(old game!!), Supreme Commander. Flight simulator 2004, Medieval, Total War, Day of Defeat(old!!), Day of Defeat Source, Call of duty 2, and F.E.A.R.

So whats the problem here, "ZOMG Vista Suxxorz!!" or "Nvidia being too lazy to get off their butts and write a decent driver for Vista"

?

Now I am running the 64-bit Vista Ultimate, but I love it and would never go back. Improved desktop features, improved graphics, improved asthetics and I can now run 4 gig of memory which helps performance tremendously. tkemory

[QUOTE="nonreversebird"] You cant play games on full settings in Vista period. So for all of us who have spent a lot of money for computers we cannot play our older games with out lockups requiring a reset. Constantly. I have loaded Vista Ultimate I would say 6 times on my machine only to take it off and put XP pro back on just to see how much difference there is. Look FEAR will not run worth bean in Vista. In XP its flawless. Takes complete use of my SLI 8800s. RS Vegas runs Flawless in my XP rig now that I can OC my CPU beyond 3.5ghz. Is it worth it? If you want a Mac look for Internet use only yes. It is very pretty and can help you stay out of spyware and virus hell. Games? forget it and if nvidia doesn't come out with a decent driver soon we can all forget it. Thats why Microsoft is doing every thing in there power to stop people from using XP by introducing a new WGA and a new SP 3. Currently I feel ripped off for my $430 for Vista UltimateLukozer

Amen.
