2 word to all of you looks this YouTube - Compiz Fusion: A Quick Demonstration Then tell me is VISTA worth it? I mean so much hardware ... and still you can't hit this :lol:

your crappy Linux cannot even run games properly so Linux & Mac OS X are plain useless for gamers :bleh:

Vista runs games a little bit slow but that will surely be solved with SP1 :)

if it is this good at just 6months old imagine how good it'll be after SP1 :eek:hyeah:

Definitely cool. But this is not impossible for Vista! or even any OS for that matter!!

Look I did not want to dominate any OS with Linux comparison :p The thing I want to tell is that the cost .. Look Vista needs 2GB rams for smooth overall application for workk .. even 4 Gb for Crunchers .. Still you can't gain eye candy like that... Linux Exclusive :eek:hyeah: :eek:hyeah: U can't get that in Vista or OSX.. btw .. that did not even require Gb's of ram just a 6200 can do the job well :D :D .. Well gaming into consideration Vista is sure the future so as Vienna.. while Linux too had strong Open GL .... So just a point show me that in Vista if you can :no: :p ?Even Consoles loads them with Linux as their main artillery ;) ..

@Udit: Don't refer to Linux as "crappy" .... the website you are reading this right now is running on the same crappy OS (or some flavour Unix at most, admins, right?)

I use Linux and if the GAMES worked on Linux as expected... I would on Linux OpenSuse 10.2 right now (which is being downloaded as we speak to be installed into VMWare)... however we are still a few years away from that. I don't like Emulated performance when I can run on the raw hardware.

@Darky: I love the way Compiz is, but I AM HOPING THAT M$ DOESN'T TRY TO DO THAT IN SP1, cuz then the 300FPS i am getting now will go to 200!!! Stupid M$ Vista programmers ! (ok kiddding and NO offense to Chaos)

yeeeshhhh @ Udit

that is probably the post of the month!

An OS is not supported widely for gaming so it becomes a crappy OS?

or should I say If an OS is not supporrted for something (as silly ) as gaming, should it be called a crappy OS...

Though I wouldn't say that, it doesn't change the fact that gaming is one of the most trivial things any operating system is meant for

Eh, try telling that to the billion dollar gaming industry...or even to the millions who enjoy it... Its like a sport....Its there....it entertains....exhilarates...brings a smile...

btw Linux aint crappy OS...its just crappy for games...crappy for millions who love games..who use their computer to be entertained...and thats what Udit was trying to say I think...

Btw Iam on XP for now...

Not all...Dont make such gross generalization...Yes, proprietary game developers acknowledge that Linux is a viable platform for their game servers, but it’s unfortunate that it’s not seen as a viable platform for game clients.
Hence, Linux is not a desirable platform for gamers...thats it...
