Re: OT: VISTA
That was funny.
Anyway, new games will probably run on Vista. Which is why you use Virtual PC for the old games.
But I'm just being contrary.

Re: OT: VISTA
The main reason why you shouldn't upgrade to Vista mainly seems to be the system requirements... if you're getting a new computer anyway, no sense in getting XP instead.

Any game that came out in the last few years and has high system demands that does not run in Vista for whatever reason will almost certainly not run in Virtual PC. You can run much older games fine, as well as games with low requirements, but fat chance running something like half-life 2 in a hardware emulator.

Re: OT: VISTA
That is a very good point to make Fyron. One that many of use really need to consider if and when we are faced with having to buy a new system. I am going to go buy a new copy of XP Pro later this month to have it on hand. I don't really think VI****A is going to be pre DX10 game player friendly for a good long time if ever.
