Hey guys, I thought this would be an interesting thread to spread. After reading a couple of previous comments and replies I thought this might be a good idea - just one question.
Who here is having trouble playing games using Vista, and if so, which ones, and if you resolved the issue, how did you do it?
Thanks

I do not game in vista at all, I have tried it but it does not work well at all. I do all my gaming on my desktop which I kept loaded with XP becasue vista eats up to many of your computers resources to be used for gaming.

I think everyone has trouble doing anything in Vista. A lot isn't compatible for it. However, there are lots of folks trying to fix this.

Well folks they have released on the Windows Website that they are releasing windows 7 ( xp is v5 , vista is v6 )

They havent released there codename like vista was called longhorn for awhile. ( EDIT - READ ON )

This new windows i think will just be one massive patch that will hopefully fix vistas many issues and faults.

I ant remeber where i read it but heres abit of what i found when i googled it

Microsoft is already planning its next major version of Windows and it won't be five years in the making as its predecessor Vista was.

The software giant's timeframe to ship the upgrade -- known internally as version "7" -- is roughly three years ZDNet Australia's sister site CNET News.com has learned.

The company discussed Windows 7 last week at a conference for its field sales force in the US, according to sources close to the software maker.

While the company provided few details, Windows 7, the next client version of the operating system, will be among the steps taken by Microsoft to establish a more predictable release schedule, according to sources. The company plans a more "iterative" process of information disclosure to business customers and partners, sources said.

Windows Vista, the oft-delayed most recent release of Windows, shipped to businesses in November and to consumers in January after more than five years of development. Vista's gestation period was marked by shifting product details as internal priorities changed and problems arose with development.

Like Vista, Windows 7 will ship in consumer and business versions, and in 32-bit and 64-bit versions. The company also confirmed that it is considering a subscription model to complement Windows, but did not provide specifics or a time frame.

Next up on Microsoft's agenda is Service Pack 1 for Windows Vista, which is expected before the year's end.

The discussion of Windows' future isn't surprising, given that Microsoft has been criticised by business customers for delays related to Vista. Many business customers pay for Microsoft's software under a license agreement called Software Assurance.

Windows 7 was previously known by the code name Vienna. A Microsoft representative confirmed that Windows 7 is the internal code name for the next client release of Windows. The details were released "as part of our ongoing outreach to enterprise customers and partners, Microsoft has begun sharing plans for how they will continue to deliver value to businesses in the future ... Software Assurance customers in particular," a representative said in a statement via e-mail.

"Microsoft is scoping Windows 7 development to a three-year time frame, and then the specific release date will ultimately be determined by meeting the quality bar," according to the representative.
