The gaming performance has improoved substantially since then and so is the stability. I agree that some stuff (like the network center) is a bit intimidating at first but I appreciate how things just work! Network management is infact a lot more easier for for new users. |
It might come as a rude shock to you, but there is *no* hardware acceleration for audio in vista . the whole thing has been moved to a software stack. Obvious possiblities of DRM aside, there is no EAX support. I had to end up choosing between good visuals (DX10) and good sound (EAX)
Rumour has it that Microsoft had EA put pressure on Crytek to code Crysis so that DX10 mode looks far better than DX9, in order to sell Vista. Just like it made Halo Vista only. If you factor in the tweak that allows you to use very high quality mode in DX9 systems , its obvious what i would choose.
PS : i dont see how network management is easy either . The useful dialog boxes are hidden under layers of menus
