For the last time, everybody pay attention:


MICROSOFT DOES NOT NEED A GAME TO SELL IT OPERATING SYSTEMS! IT HAS A 90% MARKET SHARE AND NO ONE, NOT APPLE or LINUX HAS DENTED IT. WELL LINUX is doing better then Apple but it ain't a threat and I don't think it will be. Linux had it chance and it didn't make the impact into the home or workplace which is where it needs to go if you want to dominate.

Vista will sell because every frickin PC you buy after Jan 2007 will have Vista on it or as cheap upgrade.

I don't mind, I'm probably going to get Vista anyway.

Anyways, did you check out those games like Crysis at E3? Those graphics are photo-realistic.

I think DX10 will make Halo 2 PC look even more better than it would have been on XP, because it pwns Xbox.

Spartan135, please go back to 4th grade english.
I think that should also apply to a few other people here at the Maw, and also to most of the people on the internet, in general.

Microsoft needs Halo 2 to sell Vista to gamers since games using DX9 or lower either
A. wont work well, and will have framerate issues, etc
B. wont work at all

this is why i'm waiting to see how Vista will handle legacy games BEFORE I BUY IT.

That is not true... MS doesn't NEED Halo 2 to sell Vista. Sure, it will help convincing gamers to get it sooner, but eventually, everyone will use Vista no matter what, with or without Halo 2. Just like everyone had XP a year after the launch and just like everyone had Windows 98 a year after the launch...

I intend to stick with XP as long as possible. From what I have read, the Vista beta running on the same laptop model as mine runs slower than XP. From what I hear, I won't even be able to play Halo2 Vista on my computer anyway.

From what I hear, everything is still beta so performance may or may not increase with the final beta.

Why do you all think Mricosoft is bad, in every place on the internet, I hear people badmouth Mircosoft and call it M$, but why do you guys think that all Mircosoft think about is money.

Have you guys ever thought that they might be doing this for us, the customers, doing something thoughtful for us???

yes because i'm going to waste $300+ on an new OS that i cant play Half-Life 2, FEAR, Quake 4, etc on? your smoking something i want.

No matter how much you dislike, yes you will. Maybe you won't the moment it's released, but at max one year later, you will. Halo 2 will be the reason why some people get Vista sooner, but I repeat, we will all get it eventually, with or without H2.

Ok, they invented the OS thats what they've done for the customer, plus they're releaseing a new one too. :)

Also that still hasn't explained the answer for my question, why do you guys hate them so much???

Why do you badmouth Mircosoft all the time?

Plus robo leader and spartan, if they ddin't do anything for the customer, then why do you guys hate them, they didn't do anyhting then.
