Not really vista/win7 is more like W2K/XP
not like Xp/Vista Xp lacks of DirectX10 and DirectX11 is supposed to run with Vista aswell. And there is really no reason to use windows at all if not for games and cad stuff^^ The people whining about DRM seem to be really confused regarding what having DRM support in an Operating System actually MEANS.
If you are using content that does not involve DRM, it does not, in any way, shape or form matter if your Operating System supports DRM or not, you are just playing back non-DRM content and thats all there is to it. It's really simple really: if your OS has DRM support, you can use content that requires DRM support to be present. If your OS does not have DRM support, you cannot use that content. An example of this is BLURAY playback. Note, that I am not an advocate of having content shipped with DRM built-in, I am absoluitely against it. However, you absolutely DO want your OS to support various existing DRM methods, because the other option it to simply not have any way to use DRM'ed content that requires it. Everyone and his dog is sucking up to windows 7. Here's a dissenter.

Umm, no. Linux and Windows are both shitty in too many ways to bother listing. And Macs ~still~ don't have a decent file system. http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Apple-closes-its-open-source-ZFS-project-838394.html Its a far cry from Digital Operating System.
None of us can complain. My freind installed some Windows updates the other week, restarted his computer, and was getting a fatal BSOD when the Windows loading screen came on. It would restart his computer. BUT Thankyou Microsoft - the "repair this installation of Windows" feature on the installation disc actualy worked!!! Didnt lose any of his files either! That was actually my specs when Q1 was released, god bless my father using CAD. Except I don't think I had that much HDD space. I remember always trying to remember the word 'pentium' and having to explain it was like a 586 to my friends
Yeah, back when 486 was the mutts nutts.
I remember making stuff in LogoWriter back then, up until the school had the program removed because too many kids were just playing games all lunchtime. Hm, LogoWriter doesn't even show up on Wikipedia. Was that turtle drawing a line thing, but could be scripted to do games. It runs Quake and a browser, what more do I need?
Yeah, these are two of the big three. Myself, i also need a programming environment, which now-a-days is Linux/Tcl/C/Shell, but back when i used to use my sister's 486/Win-3.1 was the pretty awesome GWBasic and NDos. But Windows-3.1 still sucks big ones. Win95/98se with it's file manager, plug and play and USB is a huge improvement. Like Quake (FitzQuake) and Quake 2
Unreal Diablo I & II Half-Life System Shock 2 I have an 8 year old PC with WinME (I am the worst here, I bet) and have been getting closer and closer to an eventual gaming upgrade. I have a stack of purchased games that don't run on my Pentium 1.3GHz and I'd like to know that I will be able to run them on a new machine and OS.
