A Harris Poll of 2,223 US online adults found that 87% were aware of Windows Vista but only 12% of those would be upgrading to it in the next twelve months.
The poll was carried out in early March and compares to a similar online poll in December where 40% were aware of Vista and 20% intended to upgrade in the coming year.
"In order to generate that 'WOW' factor, Microsoft will have to put forth a value proposition that will move the majority to the upgrade category in the years ahead." said Milton Ellis from Harris.
We were expecting problems with mod support, but there are a lot of other issues.
Not accidental, they want modders to stop modding their older games to force them to mod Shitfield.
Over 14 GBs and doesn't change much at all? What? Taking up that much drive space for a pathetic 'remastering' is shameful.
Par for Bethesda.
LOL people are actually expecting massive improvements or something? From Bethesda?? the same people who released Skyrim multiple times and the all look like shit? THAT Bethesda? are people for real?
The ps5 version doesn't change a ton but from my small playtime it's enough to make me want to replay it just to have it running at 60.
A side note to this my PS4 version no longer boots after it's "update" so I guess that's what it feels like to own a Bethesda game on PC
As of right now, there are no monopolies in the games industry, and for the sake of the medium as a whole, they never should either.
And yet the biggest tech companies in America are essentially that. They buy up all the small comps only to kill them off and steal what they have, and if they can't buy em they bleed them to death.
They buy IPs not talent. That's why these buyouts never work and the IPs die. Right now it's too expensive to develop games - but I expect that to shift maybe as AI tools can make it easier. The best games have been indie games for awhile as big developers fuck their ips to death with "games as a service" -
A voice actor from The Coalition's third-person shooter series, Gears of War, has hinted at a new game announcement coming in June.
Hopefully Microsoft will go back to the original story line and get away from that woke nonsense from the last Gears game Gears of Woke! But were talking about Microsoft so all the betting money is on more of the same woke nonsense.
but right now my computer is too weak to handle vista... when i build a new computer i'll probably get it, you know, so can earn those halo 2 achievements ;-)
many people like my self wont buy vista cause it has many problems, and yes it takes almost a new rig to get it working good.
eventually wether we all like it or not it will become the "standard" like windows xp, this process however would take a long time.
I installed Windows Vista and every single program and usb device I had on windows xp works perfectly fine.
I do believe however after the 1st service pack for Windows Vista alot of issues will be resolved.
MY Suggestion is WAIT 2-3 years because that is when Windows Vienna will be released..
Vista = Windows ME
Vienna = Windows 2000
I think it will be a story like vista being like windows ME and vienna being like windows 2000
except vienna is going to kill it.
12% will buy a computer for Vista.
83% will buy a new computer that has vista to replace a dead one.
5% will die before there computer.
