Can you still play old games like Half-life 2 and Counterstrike: Source on Vista? If you cant then I wont upgrade... I'll give up Vista for those games :D
 
well the list of games that won't run on Vista is becoming smaller and smaller.

Yes I can confirm both of those games do run on Microsoft Vista.

DirectX 10 won't be compatible with earlier DirectX versions, and it won't be released for Windows XP. For backward compatibility with current games and hardware, Microsoft plans to include DirectX 9L in Windows Vista.

Hmm, that somewhat suprised me.

It seems at the moment that the RTM version of Vista has a good compatibility with games anyway... Im confused now knowing that the majority of games on Vista seem to run okay.
 
my POVs..

i see no point in upgrading/getting vista unless you at least get home premium as the base line - you're mainly paying for the features (note: Aeroglass) here to be worth it.. exception is unless you have a crappy old celeron with cheap graphics card on it..

who damn... those screen shots look awesome!!

If you plan on getting a cheap version of vista, get the windows XP cd now! i know that retailers here in Aus are selling them with the upgrade guarantee thing which means you buy a windows XP Home/MCE/Pro/upgrade (excluding academic versions) and get the corresponding version of Vista (Home B/home Prem/Business) and only pay for shipping and handling fees ($47AUD odd bucks i think.. can't remember..).. so in other words its basically free lol.. i don't know about how other countries are handling it..

Re. software compatibility.. just wait a few weeks before/after release and most vendors who's software are worth the money should have a patch ready for Vista.. like how it was done in the past, since vista's core is totally different from XP's..

probably won't be able to get vista until i purchase my new laptop probably well into the next year..
 
I am running the final version of Vista Enterprise and I haven't run into a game yet that won't run on it. With more time comes more testing...
