I am not saying that's what Microsoft will do with 360.

But Vista is such a let down and hogs memory for no reason. And Microsoft is forcing people to upgrade because they won't offer XP machine.I know vista is more secure, but it's annoying so many ways, and introduces random features.

I can understand reason to defend xbox, because we haven't seen the update, but there is no reason to defend vista.

Google "What can vista do that XP can't" and you'll find a lot of little nifty things that really make it worthwhile.

It doesn't "HOG" ram, it puts as much as it can to good use, Wasted Ram is bad Ram, if you start up an application it's gonna divert a majority to the app so it runs smoothly.

Vista is great, I don't see why it annoys anyone.

Shroomy, I did what you said and typed "What can vista do that XP can't" in Google and the first result is "10 reasons not to get Vista", bizarre isn't it ? Anyway, xbox.com site will flop I'm sure, it will ask you to install Silverlight and a bunch of other crapola that Microsoft invented and was not needed.

I like it. Maybe in a strictly gaming sense it hasn't done much, but over all it is a much friendlier UI. The Media Center capability/useability is much better than XP's. I also like Games for Windows along with the interface for accessing your games. I suppose many of these features could have been added in an XP service pack, but honestly, where do you draw the line?

My biggest gripe about Vista is that it is stil x86 compatable with previous PC software. I think this is what holds Windows back the most, but at the same time you get people with 15 year old scanners and printers that coplain when the new OS doesn't support their worthless crap.

I have 2 xp machines and 1 vista and my vista machine run great . Its a slower machine than my xp machines but seems to run vista extremely smooth.I love the added features but I dontthink it is a major upgrade.Xp was such a great improvement from me/2000 that xp to vista wasnt a huge jump. But I predict win 7 will be incredible

I'll assume that you are someone who doesn't work a lot with Flash and Silverlight and therefore doesn't understand the differences between the two.

You have to really understand what a PC is in order for you to understand why Vista utilizes more memory. It's actually almost an identical in concept as virtualization. With virtualization the idea is to mazaimize use of the system's resources by taking on more work and running multiple operating systems in tandem as a way of providing independent systems to many clients/users. The same goes with memory cache in Vista, except think about the OS as the APP. As you load and unload programs, Vista tries to keep tabs on what you load and how often you do. It builds its prefetch folder with common programs and then superfetch gives the go ahead to start loading this programs in low priority to the system memory. That way, they're already in memory (or at least parts of it).

Well here's a quote from the press release:

Seems fairly legit to me.

Dlacy13g - 427 days 23 hours ago

Nope, you are right. You quoted correctly... xbox.com will be getting the face lift tomorrow. Many on this thread were talking about this as though LIVE was gettign the face lift tomorrow. I had mistaken some of those posts.

This is merely the face lift for the xbox.com website, not LIVE for anyone else who might be confused by some of the rants on here.

I visit PlayStation.com all the time on my Sony PS3 with a internet browser that is only possible with the power of the Cell.

an internet browser thats only available with the power of the cell?

How bad must that browser be or underpowered is the cell.
My wii has opera on it. Doesn't need the cell.

My n95 has two internet browsers on it will get firefox when its released. Doesn't need the cell.

My 360 has a browser through wmc yet the ps3 needs teh cell?
What happens when the ps3 has to do something a bit more complicated?

Very childish yet i have to put up with people saying ps3 fans dont do this only 360 fans. Or trying to justify it by saying ps3 fans had to put up with this before the ps3 was released!?!

Just keep laughing at him.

GiantEnemyCrab - 428 days 1 hour ago

haha yup! The POS3 doesn't even have a dynamic gamercard so when you see the PS3 cards in sigs you actually type in the info to make it look like it's a 360 gamercard. Pitiful and yet another poormans copy by $ony.

I won't even go into the web interface which is so advanced compared to the pitiful BBS looking message system Sony has it's not even a competition. Don't forget the new dashboard update we can access the complete Marketplace as well and queue items so when you turn on your 360 it downloads them.

Anyway, I'm not going to go on because it's really just blows PSN away it's rather pitiful.. But what do you expect for free?

LOL more like jerry springer of the internet. The scum of earth trolls the news stories of 360 and put retarded comments cuz they are frustrated that their $600 paper weight is only just a paper weight.

Btw does it require to have new email everytime you need to create an account or same email address can be used to create more accounts? If each email could only be associated with one account here than atleast some of these droids wouldn't be creating more accounts unless they go through the tedious process of creating new email accounts first.
