Vista just isn't ready for primetime. Whether you say that is the
fault of Vista, or whether you go with it being the hardware and
software developers moving too slowly to produce Vista drivers is
immaterial when trying to get your system to work with existing
software and hardware.

I've noted that gaming now seems to be just a few frames behind XP in
Vista with Nvidia's drivers in most major gaming titles. However your
chances of experiencing gaming hiccups is still much higher in Vista,
and much, much higher in Vista 64.

I'm getting excited again to dual boot to Vista, but then when I think
about the possible problems I grit my teeth and decide it isn't worth
the possible frustration when my XP system is actually stable.

Another thing which has me shaking my head is that Microsoft's much
touted Halo 2 for PC is a Vista only release which does not utilise
DX10 features. The game looks practically Cel-shaded in some
screenshots that have been posted online. Then there is this much
hyped DX10 version of Lost Planet. A review site placed images side by
side and the differences between the games was miniscule! The DX10
version just seemed to have a bit more fog, but in some shots the DX9
colors and lighting actually looked better to me. And no, the DX10
version didn't run any faster than the DX9 either!

So what exactly are we supposed to see with DX10 titles that
developers cannot now accomplish in DX10?

Vista just doesn't make sense to me right now.
