Windows Vista: worth the money?

(1/15) > >>

the_tard:
I currently use XP and I'm fairly happy with it most of the time. The only "work" I do on my computer is done in MS word, so I don't use it extensively on that end. I do use it alot for gaming, and I'm wondering if Vista would have a good or bad effect on that. Also, my friend still uses windows 2k and he can't install some games on it (BF 2142 for example) and I'm kind of concerned about that happening to me. So, what do you guys think, is it worth the money to buy it?

I'm no expert but I'll go with "if you think you have the power to run it go ahead." I have no use for it at the moment and I won't until I get some massive hardware upgrades.

supersheep:
For games, Vista won't make much difference unless the games have been designed to run on it (as far as I know). There may be compatibility problems with some games, I am not sure. As for MS Word 2007, I have tried it and I do not like it. They have taken the interface and made it bad, and you cannot go back to the old way. ARGH!

Grawsith:
OSX for the win!

*sob* i'm so alone *sob*

Storm Rider:
In terms of gaming, Vista will be the only OS to support DirectX 10, so when games start requiring that, you'll have to upgrade. But for the most part, I don't think any major PC games on the horizon are forcing that upgrade yet. Crysis is the only one I know of that's being built around DX10 right now.
