WTF, I leave for a few days and this place turns into a noo.....I mean warzone.
Ok let me break it down.
XP is an out-dated POS.
Vista on the other hand looks to do for PC's what OSX did for Mac's.
Its a wholly new OS, it also implements next-gen PC effects, such as DX10.
Yes Halo 2 could be on XP but whats the use in making two version of the same game with one giving the better expirence?
It's a waste of time, money, and men to make it for XP.
XP isnt quite a POS. Fact is, no-one truely knows what the final Vista will be like, so what are you comparing XP against?
If it outsold the vista version, it wouldnt be a waste of money would it?
Do you know how many PCs are running XP? Many more than there will be of vista for a long time, especially given the higher prices of vista. And its not as if XP is that buggy. Its not like a 98SE to XP move. A lot of people simply dont need vista. And why should they spend £150+ just for a few things they dont need?
But microsoft has decided to use Halo2 PC to show off Vista, and I cant blame them. Perfect oppertunity really.
But I only hope it does impress.
