Vista Wreaks Havoc On Games, Says Report
- Thread starter PV5150
- Start date
According to previous stuff said shouldnt all DX9 games be software emulated on Vista? If thats the case then its already emulated and that would be the problem with some of your hiccups. I believe thats what the Win XP compat is for. (Like 95 compat in XP ect) Idk, sounds like you deff need to wait for SP1 and more compatability before using Vista.

AFAIK.
Wild Tangent don't make games, but I may be wrong. Don't think they're the sort of games you wanna rush out to the Game store and buy anyway. The last experience that I had with Wild Tangent was a screensaver that cr@pped up my Win98 rig.

Yep, that be the ones. Strangely enough if you look really hard on there it says "Windows Vista Compatible"

What I'm saying is that we don't hear Epic or CryTek complaining about this, with their huge projects that are far more complicated than the simple rubbish Wild Tangent put out

Nail and head are 2 words that spring to mind
Why else would they be complaining about the security in Vista?

ROFL
I actually think MS did quite a good job with Vista, security wise, this time around. And SP1 should further reinforce...

U`r flipping right - damn can`t believe I forgot that name.
When I used to hang around the hjt portals, these related files came up alot. Can`t remember specifically being scrs, but was something that we labeled malware/nagware.
About as dangerous as Norton AV tho.
I didn't read the article but instead read the posts in the thread. When I found that Alex St. John was at the head of this (thought 'WildTangent' sounded familiar) I knew what was up... He's not a Microsoft fan, which is strange since he was on the ground floor making DirectX for the boys in Redmond (wasn't DX at the time, can't remember what it was called). He writes for CPU (Computer Power User) magazine and any article I read by him he blazes away at MS. (He's only slightly less annoying than John C. Dvorak.)
And you know people are gonna b!t(# about the new OS any chance they get... not enough security, too much security, runs slow, doesn't run every program under the sun, etc...
I'll say it again, if Apple and MS were reversed Apple would have to deal with the same s*** MS does because it would be under the microscope.

U can`t qualify that statement, unless u mean if the names were reversed only. But then u could similarly argue if it was Apple and Banana.
They aren`t just `computer` companies, they are different personalities. (for want of a better word) With differing philosyphies.
If Apple brought out Vista, as in u`r statement, roles reversed, we`d all be looking at the monitors from under a tree, smoking something dubious and saying to each other "woaaaww mannn look at those colors !?!!??", rather than b1tching at them.

Don`t get me wrong, in so many years time I`ll be using Visa like the rest of us lemmings.
And, to be fair, when Apple bring something out that stinks, imo, I`ll shout like any1 else. Like I don`t like the iPod(s), but I like Creative`s music players. But I don`t see myself banging at the iPod just cos it`s Apple, I just don`t like them.

I`m thinking of `getting my hands on` a big arse mac purely for messing on the net, screw whatever else comes with. Just leave the pc for the game or 2, which to be fair I`m getting a bit tired of the same-ole-same-ole.
Anywho, I think there`s a bunch of us that need to be requested to Mr Kemps office, coz quite frankly this going off topic is not doing the forum much good in terms of continuity.
Prehaps the mods can have a forum section in the `rants` folder that all off-topic replies can be dropped into 1 massively increasing thread. Would make a hilarious read when u don`t know what the topics are going back and fore between and whatever.
