Be like XP = Win
Be like Vista = Lose

Don't mess it up.

MicroDeath SoftStar5848d ago

too late for that , everything compatible with vista has to be compatible with windows 7 which means more power hungry garbage with another layer to this train wreck of a os . xp was microsofts best OS and nothing would make things better unless MS wipe the slate clean and start from scratch (this isnt gonna ever happen) try and understand the many reasons why vista sucks people , its not because it was underdeveloped its because its One big cluttered platform with structure that just dosent work very well this day and age .

DARKKNIGHT5848d ago (Edited 5848d ago )

wait whats gonna happen to the people that spent 400 on vista ultimate 64?

oh yeah, theyll pirate windows 7 to recoup the money they lost on vista.

im no apple fan, but take this into consideration.

take the itouch, iphone mac ar whatever runs safari in a osx environment. then take a windows mobile phone, desktop laptop, whatever.

now try to open a webpage on the devices....now try to download some pron. which one is NOTICEABLY faster?

lol, so the 400dollar version of vistax64 was just a prealphabeta?
so how muchmore will windows 7 cost the prealphabeta suckers.....er testers. i expect the same level of marketing garbage for windows 7:

"buy windows 7 so you can play crysis2 on dx11 hardware, now you can shoot and mow down even bigger trees....dumber artificial intelligence is a free bonus"

windows 7= FAIL

i am a computer technician and one of the users that felt very disapointed by Windows Vista when it was first released.

BUT i tested Vista SP1 and a month later (2day) i have been pleased with it enough that i have installed it on my primary HDD which originally had Windows XP Home.

although i am happy with it, it does still take quite a lot of memory so if you have under 1GBs of ram and plan on running games then i would advise you to buy some more.

its not a perfect OS but its getting better

xplosneer5848d ago

lol I wonder what happens after the XP cut off date. No one will buy a PC till 7 comes out. Ok, not literally, but it'll be interesting to see the consumer reaction.

And is it possible to reduce the memory footprint AND add touch functionality?!

Baka-akaB5848d ago

It just means that outside of companies , people will just use pirated xp

AceLuby5847d ago

Makes me want to go linux only. Probably will once xp is outdated...

Scrooge5847d ago

yeah, I spent 200 bucks on vista. I guess it's good that MS is admitting that vista is a pile of crap instead of going with it and trying to fix it up. I guess we can all expect windows 7 to work well if MS learns from mistakes.

Condoleezza Rice5848d ago

I wonder how they expect to convince informed consumers to adopt Vista now

Megaton5848d ago

Kinda messed up. Essentially diminishing Vista users into guinea pigs, and expecting them to upgrade again next year.

DARKKNIGHT5848d ago (Edited 5848d ago )

yeah kind of like xbox1 owners, they just got forced into buying a newer not much better console.

hey , sounds like normal m$ practices. No news here, everything according to plan.

pay for peer2peer live
rrod
hddvd
halo3
zune
dx10
vista
windows 7

anyone see the pattern? fanboys need not reply

ianp6225848d ago

So they basically said that they used Vista to test out new things for the real, major release that is Windows 7. That makes me want to install Vista now, for sure.

I can wait two years.

Baka-akaB5848d ago (Edited 5848d ago )

I didnt like the sound of that article , even if for bad reasons (hum not really actually) vista got bad rep , dont go throwing around that vista was the basis , at least for the kernel .

People dont give a frak about how it runs compared to vista ... in worst case scenario it would be comparing a sleuth and a snail . People want something running as well as xp , in both speed and stability

Loool, Angela looks like Brian "Q" Quinn from Impractical Jokers! 😂

https://m.media-amazon.com/...

The rest of them don't look so bad in desig , it just feels like overall the graphics could have been better for 2024. I'm not blown away, but it's alright.

BigBosss43m ago

Could have been worse right? OG Maria looks like Cameron Diaz lol

OtterX39m ago

Cameron Diaz as The Joker! 🤣

Days Gone Director Says Bend's Project Costs Over $250M; Says PS Co-CEO Doesn't Want 2 Zombies Games

Days Gone director claims Sony has already poured in at least a $250M in Bend's project; says Days Gone sold more than Death Stranding.

shinoff218316h ago

Well that sucks. Seems they want more online trash. I'd rather of had the sequel if it was single player

MrNinosan2h ago

What online trash games did PS Studios release last 10 years?

Notellin26m ago

The past has nothing to do with the future. This is such a terrible argument. Everyone knows about their current live service push.

-Foxtrot16h ago

It would be a shame if it was true that Hermen never gave the franchise a chance simply because he didn't like it and they already had a "Zombie" game with TLOU.

NaughtyDog are most likely moving onto a new IP next so it would have been the perfect time to do it.

ThinkThink8h ago

Here's where xbox steps in and releases state of decay 3 day and date on ps5.

Grilla1h ago

Days gone 2 was canceled before Herman was in charge. That happened like 4 years ago.

vfl5231h ago

4 years ago he was head of Playstation Studios. He would've probably had a hand in the cancelation.

Notellin24m ago

Man two seconds of research could have saved you from this comment. Amazing work Grilla you fit in with the uniformed N4G community who speaks before verifying anything that they say.

excaliburps2h ago

Yep. Kind of weird since it wasn't a sales flop, no?

I know we have to take what Ross says with a grain of salt since we're hearing just one side of the story, but even so, the game wasn't bad at all. Heck, it's my brother's favorite last-gen game from what I recall.

The amount of zombies on screen, imagine that with the PS5 and SSD? That would be insanely fun!

Grilla1h ago

Most copies were sold on sale. Not enough ppl bought it at full price. I paid 20$ for it 6 -7 months after release.

Notellin23m ago(Edited 21m ago)

Yeah we should never believe the creators side until we hear the corporate/big business side as history has shown we should always believe billion dollar corporations.

What a bootlicker statement.

P_Bomb2h ago

Well I don’t want 10 live service games, but they have no problem doing that lol. Ugh.

CrimsonWing691h ago(Edited 1h ago)

Oh great so we only get what the big wigs want… y’know, the people that really have their fingers on the pulse of what their consumers want. Faaaaantastic!
