Some games are difficult enough to run even with the most expensive stuff, without an advanced operating system weighing you down. I'd like to see if they fix this in the future (or whether it's worthwhile at all, really.)

That's odd, since I thought Windows wanted Vista to be marketed more towards games this time around. Windows XP was targeted towards media, video editing and such. Vista is suppose to be games.
I'm sure there will be a way, weither official or not, to tweak Windows Vista and turn off all the pretty GUI features while gaming. Infact, they did it for Windows XP. You dont HAVE to use the Fisher Price look, you can switch themes to Windows Classic. I would imagine it will be the same thing for Vista.

How ya doing, buddy?

The prices for Windows Vista were revealed today.

Does anyone have any info on what the differences between all the Windows are this time around?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

In comparison, Apple's Mac OS X 10 is ony $130. Kind of why I wanted to know what the different Windows versions had included was to make a better comparison. Somehow though I doubt Windows Vista Home Basic is going to be anywhere near as good as OS X to be charging an additional 50. To be fair though, A OS X would typically require you to go out and buy hardware for it, which besides the Mac Mini (Still $600) always seems to be $1000 and above.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
