It seems as though we have been writing about Windows Vista in the future tense forever. Nobody will deny that Microsoft has taken an unusually long time to build its latest OS and that some features had to be cut along the way. Whatever you make of the new OS as a whole, it’s a very important step for gamers, ideologically. This is the operating system where Microsoft has put “Games” right there at the top level of the Start menu.
Whoever said that the console war is over? It will never be over for as long as there are still buyers out there craving to get their hands on any of these superb gaming pieces. And take note that there are still a lot of gamers in various parts of the world who are not able to get their share of Microsoft Xbox 360, Sony PS3 and Nintendo Wii.
Those guys at ExtremeTech continue to pump out some really good stuff lately, today’s link, is an article where they tested if Windows Vista would run his current crop of games. All he did was he installed Windows Vista, installed all the latest updates and drivers, and he changed the resolution and the background image, no special tweaking was applied, and luckily, video card vendors have been updating their Vista drivers recently, so this will be better than it would have been a few weeks ago.
