Ray Tracing
To Debut In DirectX 11 on Tech ARP is a report that turns out to be an April
Fool, as it comes from Malaysia, where it is April 1, Year of the Rat already.
Apologies for having perpetuated this techie prank.

In fact, most of the people I find that bitch about Vista have either never run it. Have piss-poor hardware or have completely bought into the Mac ad's.
Or bought a brand new dell xps - had it blue screen within 5 hours and discovered that it would be 50/50 as to whether WoW would run for more then ten minutes (after 10 minutes it generally would hold together - unless it decided to PSOD).
That is my vista story. Honest. No bullshit. One of the biggest PC manufactures shipped me a PC which was made for gaming which could not run the biggest PC game on the market (which is so graphicly challenging that it is able to run on my grandfathers hamster-in-a-wheel powered antique).
Why did my new XPS fail so badly?
Was it the hardware?
NO - since rebuilding to XP x64 I have had precisely 0 - thats ZERO - blue, purple, red, green, polka-dot crashes. Not one. WoW goes in and stays in every time (although I've quit playing since I bought the machine). Every bloody thing works.
So was it Dells version of Vista?
Ok this I doubt. Yes I'll freely admit it did have some shitty ISP and that crappy M$ (doesn't)Works on it but really it was pretty vanilla.
So given that I personally accuse Vista.
About this time some people are gonna start bitching that Nvidia caused 28.8% of all vista crashes last year and ATI created 9%. But considering the amount of desktop PCs out there with only built in GFX cards (and a fair few of them are nvidia made remember) and the picture looks awfully more like vista has a problem with any GFX card.
I'm becoming pretty convinced that the next Windows recommended specs will include:
A) A braile compatable monitor.
B) A blind opperator.
C) At least 57.6 TB if storage for the OS.
(Oh the machine is 2 months old before you say that was my day 1 teething problems)
PS: Blue you go pwned.
PPS: Derek! your here. But I'm too tired to be bothered. Hmm then again - DSmart posting in a thred which was meant to be about the cutting edge of graphics technology. That actually funnier then the original joke
