Vista
Submitted by Shane on March 5, 2006 – 10:55 pm2 Comments
Well I had the new Windows Vista (build 5308) installed on my box over the weekend. I have to say it’s pretty sweet. I’m back to XP now but it was like going from a Ferarri to a Pinto; everything in Vista seems so fluid, lush and pretty. The new feature list seems endless. I won’t go on about that because you can read that anywhere. It was chuggy though, of course, because the nvidia drivers only supported software and not hardware. Although I could still do all the animated window flipping goodness. I’m actually looking forward to owning this OSX clone new Vista when it comes out. DirectX 10 for games is supposed to be great too.
Anyone else lucky enough try it? Thoughts?
A great site to see more

I haven’t had a chance to see Vista in action yet, but I was able to check out Xgl. Apparently you can run it on today’s hardware, which Vista supposedly won’t even be able to boot from.
I’ve been running Vista betas at home & work since the fall. Pretty sweet (though I work at MS, so I’m biased). Curious what you think of the new in-box games and the games explorer. Thoughts?
(And to the previous comment, it’ll run on today’s hardware. I have a beefy, year-old machine and it runs just fine and dandy
