The biggest kink, as I called it, I have with Vista is it's just not fully optimized yet. That is to be expected, a little roughness around the edges so to speak. I know it will get there soon.

Also, as of now games are still DX9/DX10 not just fully DX10 so from a practical stand point Vista doesn't offer me much. Yes I know there are many improvements over XP, but only a scares few that I will notice and or care about in everyday use. DX10 being the exception to that. So why should I spend money on something I don't feel a need for yet?

As for type-o's or typos it is my belief that the correct spelling should be type-o. English is full of odd rules and such, but I use x-ray as my defense as to why it should be spelled type-o. And yes it would be that hard to pay a little attention to them simply because I don't care about them, reasons for stated in previous post.

Lastly if it makes you feel any better, you have been the only person on this forum to complain about my lacking grammar skills. If I may be so bold as to offer you my two cents, you should relax a little. Chose your battles better. What is the point in arguing over something so small and pointless? Yes communication is important, but in such an informal setting over matters so insignificant? I don't see why people on this forum get so heated over who has the better CUP at the moment, it doesn't matter.

Yes I needed to communicate my needs and ideas to the people so they can give me the information I am looking for, and with the exception of you, I did a good enough job for that. I didn't waste time on lesser things when I have more important things to do.(yet for some odd reason I'm telling you all this)

p.s if you haven't noticed I still have yet to care about grammar for typing this.
 
I agree with Samir on the grammar / spelling. It's one thing when some pre-pubescent monkey is typing gibberish, but something else entirely when someone whose native language is not English is doing a pretty good job of explaining himself.
I like Sacred (rpg). This game is one of a number of Windows programs that won't run under Vista. So, Vista still has some problems; or Sacred does, but one of them needs to be fixed before I get Vista. For others who are considering Vista, here's a compatibility list: http://www.iexbeta.com/wiki/index.php/Windows_Vista_Software_Compatibility_List
