I know that some games aren't playable (or at least not well) in Windows vista but will updates be made or something which will change this or will some games always be unplayable on vista? the reason i'm asking is because i have a tendency to lose or throw away OSes when new ones come out but it seems like i should keep XP so that I can play older games on it. Your thoughts?
At the moment I believe it's mostly a driver problem, the games themselves have been fine. I know CSS was unplayable a while ago but now it's just fine. But if you give us a list of games that you play we can try and check them.
well i play a lot of games but there i often see old games that i havn't played in a long time and feel like playing them. So i just want to know if eventually all games will be playable on vista or at least most and what will determine whether games will be playable on vista
Thats exactly what I did... Dual-booting Vista and XP Pro... as I fiddle with Vista and get accustomed to it, maybe i'll clean install vista as a whole, but for now, dual boot!
Vista + VMware/virtualPC = win, no need for a dual boot also, its more a "you can no longer use stupid copy protection" standpoint that MS has that is breaking games - hooza!
