I'm not entirely sure how they are doing it but I think the games will be X9/X10 compatible meaning if you have XP then you can still play play the X10 games. Another way would be they release 2 versions of the game a XP version and a Vista version. Wouldn't be much different than what they do with gaming consoles.

that would be too costy i think, releasing 2 versions of the games for newer and older os :s, but all we can do is wait an see, and besides, until games officially support direct x 10, there is no use discussing this or getting vista for that reason.

They do the same with console games. They are already making games for Vista.

at release a a list of titles are put for the console, as consoles are different than pcs, however good consoles also try to put the best backwards computability they can. ps2 supports most ps1 games at release and ps3 too (ofcourse for some reason their European version of ps3 is said to have a less computability with older games, but never the less, it still can for many.) consoles from nintendo also started having backwards computability.

Still, XP works normally and don't plan to upgrade to Vista. Maybe I'll get Vista after 1 year.

yea thats how it should be, atleast 1 year or so, but who knows, some people might get vista when halo2 is out

well even they do get vista, i think they would install xp and vista if possible, i doubt someone would install an os for one game leaving the other games.

there is still some time until halo 2 is out for pc, so they might fix the problem by then anyway, who knows.

1. Better security for your computer less viruses. Even though if your careful you don't get them.

3. Loads of new features to help you with your work.
4. There are different versions of Vista: Home Basic, Home Premium, Business Basic, Business Premium, and Ultimate
5. It's graphics are amazing. (Not really a reason but nice to have)
6. While it may be buggy SP1 for Vista coming out in the second half of the year I believe promises more features and of course any fixed bugs there are.

I know none of those reasons sound good enough to buy it but you won't regret upgrading. If you have any questions about it just ask me. I love my Vista.

All this is true.
Yeah, I will get Windows Vista soon.
