Most games are still available for Win98, and by the least Win2K (at least I think they are). I don't see XP dropping off the market anytime soon.
The reasons to update to a new Win OS aren't convincing. The minimum (not recommended) requirements are greater than that of DOOM 3!
I think I'll pass on yet another fancy version of DOS.

That's no reason to switch to Vista.
I'm x^10 + x^8 + x^5 + x^4 + x^3 + 1, so don't mess with me!

Not yet, but wait a couple years...

Because we've still got about 9 months of development left

Yes, but Vista will take much longer to get accepted by the community - if it does at all.

It may take awhile, but considering how much of the market Microsoft controls, it's more or less inevitable.

why not
by Digital_Warrior on Tue Dec 27, 2005 3:07 am
I will switch as soon as i can get my hands on a pirated copy of it. Yes i will buy it if i like if but i want to take if you a joy ride before i buy. It is like buying a car you take it for a test drive before you buy to see if you like it. I should have enough saved up for a new pc buy then.

theyve hav pirated copies out for a LONG time. I installed it and hated it. Of course that was a while ago and im sure theyve refined it since than. They make it too easy for the common user to put their files on the web and theres going to be so many exploits on it

Yeah, the first BETAs that came out were really just "Look what a pretty menubar we have! Oh, and you wanted RSS and web authoring? Here!" *swims in money*

After looking at the Vista requirements I'm guessing that it will take a long time for to change to it. I don't really think it is better that XP (excepting the visual aspect where IT ROCKS). I'll just have to wait to see...but the first condition is to get a better computer :(
