If your not going to answer his question, don't reply at all.

Windows Vista is Microsoft's next operating system that will take the place of Windows XP. It is scheduled to be released January 2007. You will be required to have it to play Halo2PC.

Speaking of windows vista, dont bother downloading the public beta. I mannaged to get the thing to download, install and even tracked down all the beta drivers, and i even managed geting it t o run normally for 30 min until it fell apart. they got rid of the my documants, videos and music folders and even the programs menu. they now have a stupid docking menu like in mac os and it new rrender GUI nails your performance allthough Glass and Areo look nice, Navigating the control pannel is a pain in the but too... I had problems running 32 bit apps on the 64bit edtion hell not even the autostart menu on most cd's would launch... the kicker is you have to register your CD key and from what i can tell windows can revoke it.

Not everything is bad like the taskbar hasw thumbnail of each application you can now see music rating and album art in the desktopand it has a better system restore program

The new operating system is designed to be faster, allow for more features such as hard drive streaming and hybrid hard drives.

Don't install the windows vista public beta. It litterly fell apart at the seems, I managed to track down all the drivers and got it running propperly for 30 minutes till it fell apart at the seams. Microsoft for some reason got rid of the "my program" list under the start bar along with my "documents folder", and added a docking menu like mac os. The control pannel is hard to navigate, THe new render desktop is slow and most of my 32 bit apps wouldnt run, on to of that you need to authenticate your CD key and from what i can tell windows can revoke it.

It wasn't all bad the Areo and glass effects were nice, the task bar shows thumbnails of programs and folders, music displays its rating and album arnt in the folder and vista has a much better system restore.

Oh and i forgot to add vista litterly spams you with authentication messages, you want delete somthing? vista will pop up with a warning. Want to change a setting again you get another pop up message. Neet to run a new program? again another warning same with everything else...

2 control pannel conked out

3 most of my programs including the autostart menus on CD's failed to work

4 vista lost my CD key/ or revoked it...

5 slow boot time

6 extremely slow install time

It's called a BETA for a reason, you know. You're supposed to whine to Microsoft about how crappy the beta is so they will supposedly use your advice and fix it.
