ok, i'm running Vista and i can't see why people think it sucks compared to XP, as you can set it up so it looks the same as XP. The only software i lost was Nero 6, but everything else works fine. So if you ever make it back into this thread, what don't you like about it? |
The fact that I have to make it look and act like XP to enjoy it. I keep thinking why did I even bother installing this on a spare hard drive? And then I remember oh yeah because I enjoy playing games with DX10 even though there is hardly any difference at all. I am just looking forward to Crysis when DX10 will mean 3D waves and Parallax Occlusion, the first two noticeable additions from DX10 to any game!
Edit: Oh BTW - I love the Performance Index thing, because I have vista installed on an old hard drive it scores a 4.0. So naturally rather than an average it takes the lowest despite it being the lowest by almost 2 full points. Pretty sad for a scale of 1-6. But hey I have a new hard drive ordered to upgrade the poor thing, so it won't be an issue.
Edit2: Oh and if anyone knows how to get the icons back to XP icons let me know, I haven't played with it much yet but its one of my biggest complaints with the look.
PS - Ben I don't know if you have disabled the annoying popups where it asks you to hit "Continue" etc... but if you haven't and you want to try this website
