Vista gaming will be 10 to 15 per cent slower
Found on The Inquirer on Saturday, 07 October 2006
Microsoft is telling its selected gaming industry chaps that gaming under Vista will be ten to fifteen per cent slower than XP. It is because you have to load the 3D desktop all the time. It is ironic, as the same company tells the developers that the same API can do certain things up to four times faster.
That is certainly not a good buying argument but don’t think you and I have much choice as it looks like a take it or leave it deal.
Wait... you have to buy tons of new hardware to run Vista, and thanks to the #1 sales argument, the new desktop, it will be way slower than XP? Sometimes marketing really is hard to understand.
