Shitsa sounds more appropriate, i've actually have a dual boot with shitsa and Windows 7 beta.. Windows 7 looks promising but who knows how that will turn out.. Rolling Eyes

Actually I guess I am the second person you heard say that because I have had absolutely no problems whatsoever with Vista. Every game I have tried to play on my computer runs just fine. Very Happy

Its a decent OS for the basic user (internet browser, email, etc) But for anyone who legitimately games on PC knows XP with Direct X 10 hack is the way to go. Just because you get way better performance without having to mess around for hours.

Vista itself isn't bad, but I haven't used it further than playing flash games on it, so I really can't pass judgement on how it runs more demanding online games. I really like it, though I'm sure I would hate it if it gave me all the errors and difficulties I hear about.

That's how I feel. My mom could use it just fine and not bother her, but for me I'd rather have xp.

Well age of empires 2 wont run on my friends computer in vista. screen is a bunch of random colors and it tells him an error.

Morrowind will also not run on vista for him. We have tried to get it to work but it always comes up in a blank screen with sound.
