MICROSOFT is telling its selected gaming industry chaps that gaming
under Vista will be ten to fifteen per cent slower than XP. It is
because you have to load the 3D desktop all the time. It is ironic,
as the same company tells the developers that the same API can do
certain things up to four times faster.
We are preparing to check this claim but the really pesky thing is
that you won’t be able to run DirectX 10 games on Windows XP at all.
So even a game like Crysis - the first DirectX 10 title - won’t be
that much of a DX 10. We are still far away from DirectX 10 only
games but don’t be surprised as there is no single DirectX 10 card
the market. This should change in the next few weeks, but we are
still far away from mainstream and low end DirectX 10 cards.
So if you play Battlefield 2 or FEAR or any other popular game you
are likely to get lower frame rates with Vista. That is certainly not
a good buying argument but don’t think you and I have much choice as
it looks like a take it or leave it deal. I like Vista as the 3D
desktop looks sexy but that is probably its key feature.

Vista bis auf weiteres für Gaming ungeeignet? Was bleibt denn da nun
eigentlich noch übrig als Verkaufsargument?
M$ wird immer wiedersprüchlicher,
und das beste kommt noch !!!!!
Vista beschränkt den Hardware-Umzug
VISTA wird DEFINITIVE nur zwei mal zu aktivieren sein
Führt man einen Hardwarewechsel durch, egal ob HD oder Motherbord
- ist für jede Änderung eine Aktivierung fällig, wie gesagt - zwei mal, dann ist Schluß,
dann ist eine neue Lizenz fällig
