Re: What\'s wrong with my Dominions?
IMHO
A) Vista is neat and new with great new hooks that programmers will be able to do wonderful things with. We will all want it.
B) The people who make the video and sound cards are still catching up to making drivers that can use Vistas new features.
C) Game developers have not even started using new Vista hooks.
D) AT THE TIME OF THIS WRITING it seems that getting pre-vista games to run on vista is only capable of two things. Either it runs worse for lack of something, or with work you can make it run the same as it did before you got Vista.
So my recommendations would be....
1) I would NOT want to go thru the headache of upgrading Vista on a machine with older hardware and older programs already installed on it which would all have to be tweeked just to get them to run as well as they used to.
2) But if you buy a new machine from a reputable company then they probably give you hardware which IS up to date for Vista so you would probably be ahead things when the games come out for Vista.
Personally however, for many reasons, I would not get a windows laptop. Everything has its pros and cons. For me its Linux on servers, Windows on desktop, and Mac on laptops.
