Reply #29: Planned OS obsolescence? WTF?

Most of that was not Windows fault, 3rd party software makers were draggin their asses pretty slow to make compatable software and updates for older hardware when they should have been ready and reliable from the start. Thats not an issue anymore now as new software and hardware products are compatible. I have Vista SP1 64bit on a 4 month old laptop, and a newly built gaming computer, no big issues what so ever. My dad also has Vista and it hasent given him any problems either.

It does have a slight decrease in gaming performance over XP but why complain about that? Games are still playing smoothly on a properly built pc with Vista.
