I was just wondering if Halo 2 vista is actually going to sell lots of Windows Vista copies. I'm not switching over personally. I was just thinking, maybe they would make "more money" if Xp owners could play it. Seeing that money is such a big problem over at Microwsoft. Greed will get you no where, espeacially when you have all this money you couldnt even spend it in a lifetime.

Were you serious when you said that M$ has a money problem? 'Cause if you were, you need to do a little research...

BTW, I am still deciding to install my FREE copy of Vista for H2. Just unaware whether or not it will completely erase my current files on my HD. Lets hope not.

No i was being sarcastic. And I think they could make an update to enable live anywhere compatible for xp.

It isn't that M$ wants more of our money... They just want its new product to Evolve and have features that others can't so that it can be an individual OS. They worked hard to make a new and unique OS. It may not seem that way because of all the bugs, but it is hard to make a new OS that can be so much better than the previous one. XP had its share of little glitches too, don't forget that.

If they were to port it over to XP, it would just take more money, time and energy. And in the long run, they would be making the same exact amount of money for it anyways.

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

I got Vista the day it came out, so I don't need to switch to it for H2V. :D

Mmm, I am curious tho... My friend has a hacked version of Vista, or xp I'm not sure. It's Windows Vista xp ultimate edition. I was just wondering if this might possibly be able to play Halo 2?

One of the biggest reasons I will switch is Halo 2 but isn't the only one. I'm an Achievement whore. I'm getting it for the games. I won't get it right when Halo 2 Vista comes out because I want to get a new processor, video card and more storage space.

  • 04.19.2007 6:13 PM PDT

Technically I'm switching over, but I've owned vista all along. I just like xp better right now >.<

Most of the PC issues posted here are the result of PEBKAC.

Already switched to Windows Vista. It's cool and all, nVidia's drivers suck, but they'll fix those before long.

I don't have the cash for an xbox.

It is people like you that make people like me need medication.

Already did. I upgraded my graphics card, power supply, and went to vista. This from someone that has Halo Xbox, Halo PC, Halo 2.

By May 10th because I went 2 day shipping, you can add Halo 2 Vista. By the end of May I'll have my fill of Halo 3 Beta too. LOL

What can I say I am a long time Bungie whore. LOL

Of course also I did so I can play others too that will work with it. LOL

To be quite frank, that would be stupid. You don't buy an operating system to play a three-year-old console port, you buy it for what it is (and I suppose the games that are only compatibile with it).

However, I am getting Windows Vista in time for Halo 2, but not just for that. I also want to check out Live Anywhere and wait until Crysis comes out.

You could call me prejudice, only people with 360s are on my FL.

I got that Vista upgrade thing from Dell some time in February and installed it the day it came. It's strange, since I've installed Vista, the system has been more stable o.O.

Depending on where you got your system, you might have to go into the BIOS and set SATA to auto. If it's always on, you get BSOD. Other than that, there really shouldn't be a problem without the upgrade CD telling you what to remove.
