Windows Vista Thoughts
Friday, June 30th, 2006
It seems as though Windows Vista Beta is on a bunch of folks Must Be Bashed Now list, but are we
really missing the bigger picture? The biggest features of Vista have fallen off the radar and should not be ignored.
The bottom line here is that there is no bottom line as this is still in beta, but there are some things we do know.
While currently Vista looks like nothing more than Windows XP SP3, you have to keep a couple of things in mind. Those two things are 64-bit computing and DX10. Some of Intel’s and many of AMD’s processors now support 64-bit computing. Keeping in mind that a 64-bit OS is almost useless without applications or games programmed to take advantage of the 64-bit computing advances, we should start to see those applications ramp up to utilize Vista advances once we have an OS to run them on. On the gaming side of things, the simple fact is that once DX10 based games start hitting the market, you are going to have to have Windows Vista to run them all easily. And DX10 looks to contain some very forward looking technology that will greatly enhance our gaming experiences once the game developers pick up and run with it. [H] Consumer - Windows Vista Thoughts
