First of all:

HOW DARE YOU!

Secondly, in the words of Micheal J. Caboose:

I WILL EAT YOUR UNHAPPINESS!

and thirdly:

okay, I , Captain Booger, hereby and from this day forward take back EVERYTHING I have said.

VISTA LOOKS GOOD!

I was having trouble with it before, but i tried something new...

I partitioned my Hard-Drive, and it worked just great. Then I tried the test-drive for Office 2007 on the microsoft site....

FINALLY everything out in the open like that! it was like using and controlling the mere essence of the binary itself! Now I see my flaws...

FORGIVE ME BUNGIE!, FORGIVE ME MICROSOFT, FORGIVE ME OBI_WAN! ...

... F-O-A-D NESSY!

of course i'm still skeptical about how secure it's gonna be....
with all these betas flyin around, it just gives crakers more of a chance to beat it before it starts...

BUT, that's forseeable, and i'm sure Microsofts already working on it.

XP and vista are almost exaclty the same. The only reason its comming out is so you have to go out and update all your MS -blam!- to vista

I say 1 thing, get 23 spamming responses


Right. And this original post is NOT spam/borderline trolling...how exactly?

Almost exactly the same? For starters, base code has gotten a major overhaul. That in itself practically nullifies any "exactly the same" thing you want to say.

Let's put it this way: this is like the transition from Windows 3.1 to Windows 95.

As Igg put it, the Xboxers are jealous because they've been starving for H3 information and saw Bungie serve us a huge 16-oz. Porterhouse steak. Naturally they'd be a bit jealous.

The Rumours are that Halo 2 Vista requires Direct X 10 to run, i know its all about people going out to buy Vista put think of it more of a better reason to upgrade your windows.

First off, it's not a rumor. Secondly, it's not true. Halo 2 will play just fine on DirectX 9 cards, you won't need to have the latest DX10 card to play it.

OMG, how badly would SUCK if you could only play it on a laptop if you only bought it in the last two months?

hahahaha, I mean, that would SUCK!

yeah you could upgrade, but it's too delicate for someone like me to do, and i'm too cheap to pay the $100 for the card, and $50 for the service

This is why you need a tower for gaming....

let me rephrase...

This is why I (meaning very specifically ~me~)need a tower for gaming!

Thank you, kind troll, for perpetuating the belief that console gamers (which you will inevitably, if possibly mistaken for representing) are stupid idiotic morons. I'm sure you're happy.

My thoughts exactly. The little Xbox kids must be mad because our Halo2 is going to be so much better than thiers,
Too bad he was not commenting on your rude response. If you see a spam thread, either report it or walk away.

To answer the original thread question, theres 2 answers.

1. The bungie/microsoft self promotion general stuff.

Its going to look amazing, and run faster and have all sorts of nice things.


2. An obvious ploy to sell more copies of Vista.


Of course, no-one outside Bungie or Microsoft can say which it really is, and Bungie and microsoft have proven themselves untrustworthy.

So, until I actually play it Im going to withold judgement.

Basically, it had better be something I havent seen before in games. If not, then its nothing that couldnt have been done on XP (or 2000 even) and had no need whatsoever to force people to buy Vista to play it.

That, and, didn't it come to your little mind that some of us Maw people do own a 360 and plan on getting Halo 3, including myself?
H2 on Vista = $ for Bill, so why not? I understand the business, and if you don't like it, don't buy.
