I have been thoroughly owned. Would you like a Gold Star?
I'm too tired to really try and defend myself here, but... Either way, a beta is still a solid representation.
Now, if me being exhausted at the moment doesn't impair my grammatical skills... Vista isn't a bad OS per se, but when you try to run some pretty demanding games on Vista, Vista being a resource whore does not help at all. When compared to XP, Vista is utter crap when trying to run high-performance games. When playing games like COD2, Half-Life 2, and Halo 2 Vista (which I got working on XP), the difference between the two OSs were phenomenal. So much, in fact, that it's not the least bit negligible.
I read an article with people comparing Vista, and Vista SP1, in correlation to XP SP2, and XP SP3. Yes, I'm aware this they're betas. But like I said, they are a very, very close-to-final representation of the final release. Vista SP1 could be a flop, or it could be the best damn thing in the world. But apparently, people that ran tests between the two found there were pretty much no performance gains. Or at least a little, but enough to be negligible.
While XP SP3, like I said, has a 10% performance gain when compared to XP SP2. If I can run my favorite games buttery-smooth on XP, but then have my game run considerable worse on Vista, then who's to say it doesn't suck? I mean, if I'd much rather play a game, not a slideshow...
Well, nobody take me too serious here. You made yourself look like a total jerk. Now... I was gonna say something else... but frankly, I'm falling asleep =[=[
