right, i been reading the last eight pages of messages, and everyone has pretty much started their own little rant wars with each other for compatability issues with this software and that software, n direct x 10 and everything else. seems a little silly, and all this 6 months down the line too is abit wrong IMO too.
for now...xp is more stable, runs better than vista, its cheaper, less of a resource hog and everything supports it. nothing really has been specifically designed for vista other than dx10 and the software that came with the os.
6 months down the line there will be a few updates and creases will be ironed out, a few major issues will be resolved but it will still be a drop in the ocean before all the air is cleared. xp will still be more reliable and faster. as for gamers, the new gfx cards out and with dx10, well there will be a few sublime games out there, trully amazing details, some will go for the super machine and upgrade but most games on xp will be just as good.
imo... maybe a year to a year and a half, most things will be running on vista either on par or way surpass xp, more companies will be jumping in with vista only products, especially as all new pcs come with it. in the first year, they'll test the waters n check for murky areas.
everyone has to realize that in the world we are in today, everything is digital,and files are getting a HELL of alot bigger. look at mobile phones, a year ago, 32 meg memory was big, theres 8gb phones out now, thats a massive difference.
also there have been alot of words said about how much vista hogs resources, but 2 years down the line, your average hard drive will be at least 1000gb. blu ray n hd-dvd discs will be the norm, but it will still be about the same as it is now in terms of how many films you can store on your pc. all the driver issues will have been resolved, there will be a load of new programs out that by todays standards will be ubsurdly greedy, a year down the line it will be the norm, the programs better.
i myself do not like microsoft, i think they corner the market, they try to be the sole provider and push out companies, and yes you may see one or two disappear, but i can guarantee that there will be new companies that will work around the system and will take their place and get very big very quickly. two years time, my phone will be as powerful as xp is now, every home will have digital tv,anologue phased out, all sorts of interactive services. and theyll need resources and massive processors.
and look at them, theyre going in leaps and bounds, how long did it take from dual to quad core..6 months tops even if intel isnt true quad core, amd have now done it, intel will too in a month!! no-one really needs dual core at the moment, let alone quad, but more and more machines come with it as standard. i dont see many ppl whining about that.
the rapid increase in digital dependancy and the reliance on pcs for everyday tasks and entertainment will force ms to adapt with some service packs that will prob change alot about vista, but you would have to be silly to think that a system like vista will just slip under the waves in a year or so. everything changes, everything gets faster, we lose some programs that we couldnt live without before, but they'll always get better.
i mean, i downloaded emulators for my old amiga games and dos games.
back then i didnt see why we needed pentium 90's. but now, u look at those old great games and think, jesus..i used to play this crap!! on goes quake 6 or battlefield 3142. before long it will br vr headsets and the like.
ok the tests show, and most opinion atm is, yes xp is better now.
but vista isnt really designed for the now or the wow, its designed to be the foundation to the next logical step. as much as we hate microsoft or apple. its going to happen. so quit the whining and the ranting and deal with it.
i use a pretty standard pc, ive looked at vista and i dont like the look, a year from now, i'll kno i'll be running it, i said the same thing before about 98 and xp.
it seems to me, alot of ppl on here are trying to convince themselves, not the other posters.
and im done. im sure this will be ripped to pieces by someone, but im far from caring!
