ripken204 Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 very very nice to know i wonder how many people were up bill gates' a** before he finally made this decision...
fizban2 Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 d3d10 port to xp can't be very good, it won't be the same as what is in vista
Aegis Posted October 17, 2006 Author Posted October 17, 2006 I think that's what MS wants you to believe.
Aegis Posted October 17, 2006 Author Posted October 17, 2006 DirectX 10 is one of the main selling points for Vista (besides the Aero UI). Other than that, Vista is nearly identical to XP except with a few value-added applications.

Aegis Posted October 17, 2006 Author Posted October 17, 2006 That'd be pretty bad to spend a few hundred bucks just for security...Not to mention that flaws can still exist in the code. Server 2003 had relatively few security issues because of a massive code review, but MS didn't have time to do the same for Vista...
nitroshift Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 Definitely means I'm not getting Vista unless performance is noticeably worse.I second that.PS: Aegis, you spelled getting with 3 t's

Server 2003 had relatively few security issues because of a massive code review, but MS didn't have time to do the same for Vista... Are you meaning they did loose 2003 code ? Or that they just sleep since 2003 relelase ?About the Inquirer's article, that's funny... ok, having a "sort of" dx10 on XP can make dx10 games run on XP, but what about hardware ? AFAIK, dx10 include software support for some new hardware-based effects.++
