Comments on: Vista's big problem: 92 percent of developers ignoring it

The OS certainly isn't helping Microsoft's popularity with developers. Can it repair the problem?

hello all...
i would just like to point out that as far as gaming goes the vista os is nothing less than a
VIRUS...
1: vista uses all the resurses so nothing left for the game.
2: when you´ve been playing for more than 45 minutes everything starts lacking.
3: lots and lots of older games simply wont run on vista.
4: 82% of all the games you do get to work on vista gets errors after about 90 minutes.

it´s not that my system is not strong enough.
im running an acer 5920G with 3 g ram. 2,4 Ghz t7700 cpu. 7200 rpm 200g hd. geforce 8600 gt.
and with xp pro/vista ultimate dual boot.

all the games that vista (****** up) runs perfecktly on xp.

i have given vista a chance a HUGE chance. but not anymore. vista is nothing but a VIRUS made by the creator of the best os ive ever had my hands on (Xp).

my advice to MS is to just take the best from vista and put it in a new and improved version of xp.

Your system is chugging on new games because you have an 8600 GT, not because Vista is terrible.

Another article that points to potential Vista growth... since I don't think Seinfeld is going to do it for them...
