"The once and future kernel
Microsoft has been saying for a while now that the Vista kernel has been optimized for multicore computing. Now, with Windows 7, the company's technical evangelists are proudly pointing to the elimination of certain global SMP-locking mechanisms in the updated kernel. However, as Microsoft insiders such as Mark Russinovich are quick to point out, the benefits of these changes won't be felt until core counts climb well beyond today's dual-core and quad-core implementations.
My own testing would seem to corroborate Microsoft's story. If anything, the company is underselling its multicore advantage. Clearly, the optimizations made to the Vista kernel -- both in its original incarnation and in its updated Windows 7 variant -- are having an impact even at the quad-core level. However, better scalability still isn't enough to offset Windows XP's huge performance edge on today's hardware. In fact, it won't be until after Windows 7 has been replaced by the next Windows that the fruit of Microsoft's multicore optimization labors will be fully realized. Then, as we boot our 32- or 64-core netbooks, we can all smile as Microsoft's foresight and perseverance finally start to pay off"
We were expecting problems with mod support, but there are a lot of other issues.
This is why you get the GOG version on gog you can select the version of the game to download.
On pc fallout 4 fallout new vegas and skyrim are all broken on steam because they all got the same "next gen" update.
Skyrim dec 2023

Can not find new vegas but anyone that modded it knows the script extender there was also broken
Not accidental, they want modders to stop modding their older games to force them to mod Shitfield.
There doing the same on starfield with a mods store and blocking mods
There goal is like blizzard and what they did with fallout 76 you make mods they can sell and you become a slave.
On skyrim they have "trusted" mod devs now basically a badge that lets your mod on the store you get a crumb of the sale when someone buys it.
lol to the disagrees, the last Skyrim update broke mods too. They've been trying to kill mods to monetize them in creation club for years, it's not a stretch that they purposely put out patches just to break free mods.
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.
A voice actor from The Coalition's third-person shooter series, Gears of War, has hinted at a new game announcement coming in June.
While many are fans of the Honkai Star Rail story so far, The Nerd Stash believes that the deaths of Robin and Firefly no longer carry much weight.
beta?
Stick with Windows XP until you purchase a system with 8 CPU cores or more.
I'm actually surprised everybody didn't just stick with windows 95 or 98 or something. I'm sure it performs way better than XP. Nahh, screw that... let's go back to DOS :o.
Anyway, they are still going to tweak the performance, and the new features it has balances out the performance, in with the new, out with the old.
No wonder we're taking so long to go 64 bit.
Lol, Windows 7 isn't that much more resource hogging than XP. The optimizations and benefits in brings greatly outweigh the minor amount of extra RAM it uses. If your still using 1GB of Ram or less.. Then it's high time you add another RAM stick or 2 to your computer. Basic ram that most people have is pretty cheap these days.
