MS: Windows 7 to be "Great for Games"

[Feb 23, 2009, 11:39 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

"Windows 7 will be great for games, undoubtedly," is the unequivocal quote from Microsoft's Chris Lewis on GamesIndustry.biz, saying: "It's all good news - it's even more robust, it's quicker relatively, and the early testing cycles are proving very promising overall." He promises they will have more to say on the topic later in the year, reaffirming their commitment to PC gaming and the Games for Windows program. He states: "Ultimately we're a Windows and PC company at heart, and that's not going to change, and the development on both platforms will remain central and important. The business ebbs and flows, and there will be times when we do more on one platform than the other, but they do co-exist very nicely, and as a company we're in a pretty unique position that we have a strong legacy on PC."

Most posters don't care. It doesn't matter how shitty XP was 5 years ago because I don't have to use that version. I have the option of using the current XP which is sufficiently good to not warrant upgrading. Comparing Vista to 8 years ago is pretty stupid - it wouldn't even run on the computers that were standard at that time. You missed the point. XP was absolutely horrendous at launch. Vista was serviceable, but still pretty bad at launch. XP today is fine. Vista today is better than XP today in many ways. Yet people continue to compare Vista at launch with XP today, and that is where he is pointing out the hypocrisy. If you're going to say that Vista sucks because it had a not-so-great launch, then you should use the same logic with XP. Otherwise, it's time to stop the bullshit and compare Vista now with XP now.
