Windows 7 Should be a Fixta Free For All

ZDNet writes:

"Okay, never mind that I'm a dinosaur with an affinity for 1990's era User Interfaces – I think even my best critics will very likely agree with me that Windows 7, for all of its performance improvements and bling, is essentially one big service deluxe pack for Windows Vista. It's the Windows Vista that customers were promised when they bought "Vista Capable" PC's 3 years ago, and despite the rest of us dinosaurs that are set in our ways about the way we like to work, it's the Windows Vista that even Micosoft's most ardent supporters hoped that would finally replace Windows XP. Windows 7 is the Vista that we were guaranteed would work properly, the first time around."

"Let’s face it, Windows 7 is Windows Vista Service Release 2, more than a service pack but less than a major release, with only a few added extra features, or as I am now in the custom of to calling it, Windows Fixta. And since Windows 7 is essentially a performance and usability fix for a defective product, I’m of the increasing opinion that a Windows 7 upgrade should be free to anyone who was conned into buying Windows Vista."

that's what i have been saying all along only the delusional fanboys want to pay for this. What's worst is just that they only worked on a few fixes and unlocked some of the stuff from vista. windows 7 will either perform worst than XP or on par with it because it takes advantages of several cores silicon.

i forgot to add it would perform the same or worst when running on a single core. What vista was suppose to do is work in parallelism but it doesn't do it job right and that's what 7 worked on.

"windows 7 will either perform worst than XP or on par with it because it takes advantages of several cores silicon."

Im definatly no vista or microsoft fan in general but windows 7 outperforms xp and vista in every aspect, as been tested with the latest beta and it should improve even further.

paul-p19885581d ago

or people could just not pay for either Vista or 7 and get a brilliant, free, more stable, infintly more secure OS called Linux Ubuntu....

but i cant see joe public realising that computers can have things on there other than windows anytime soon....

Keele5581d ago

Anoobis doesn't know what the hell he's on about.

Windows 7 may be what Vista should be...

Karum5581d ago

But tbh I haven't had any issues with Vista after they released SP1.

Some of the errors I used to get no longer occur, it seems to perform much better for everything I want to do with it. I got Vista Business as a free upgrade from Alienware and decided to try it out, before SP1 it didn't last long because it sucked, gave it another chance after SP1 and am still using it.

Still though I'll not be an early adopter of Windows 7 but reports I've read on the beta have been positive. Hopefully they deliver a universally sound product this time around and maybe a good while after if it akes sense to upgrade to Windows 7 then maybe I will.

wtf??? i just looked at Windows 7 on Wikipedia... it's almost identical to Mac's Leopard OS! holy crap.

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya18m ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...

5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.

But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me
