Windows Vista is Windows XP with new skin and a stupid 3d windows mode which is already on different OS's including Windows.
HALO 2 PC is just a way to sell more Vista OS , doesnt matter what Bungie says , they know it , it just to sell more Vista , but im pretty sure someone will create a patch to make it run on WindowsXP , come on its Microsoft. is the same thing.
Dont listen to him, hes just mad that his parents wont pay for vista and then he cant get halo 2.
Windows vista is basically an updated version of xp. Its much smoother and takes advantage of your hardware, and is supposidly alot more stable. For instance if you have a 64 bit processor(amd 64 models, and certian intels), then it will run in 64 bit mode, meaning it will be much smoother and faster. If you have a 64 bit processor now, you can try the windows x64, which is basically xp in 64 bit format. I have tried it, and it is a little bit faster, you can tell especially when the OS is booting. Also vista is supposed to be much more effecient with using ram. Another thing they did was get rid of the registry, which is the spot virus's attack. That way programmers will have to find another place to attack, and develop a new strategy.
there are alot of rumors, but from what ive been hearing, it should be nice. I'm not saying that it will make your computer run amazingly if you have a bad computer to begin with, but you might notice a little bit of preformace difference.
