Hm, I've done some research and it's come to me that Windows Vista comes out early 2007. Now, i do have a decent computer, but I'm sure this isn't the one i'll be playing on to enjoy MTWII to it's fullest. I was just wondering how many blokes out there are going to 1)play on their current comp 2) buy a comp now or right before MTWII and upgrade to vista later 3) don't get it until windows vista comes out.

For gamers vista is a total waste of time. DX10? Big clucking deal. Its an amazing system hog. Also this shouldn’t be posted here go post in hard and software.

I bought a new computer last month with the intent to avoid Vista. I see no reason for it in my game machine.

I got a new computer in June. I am loving it so far.

Windows Vista is not really necessary unless you really want it. Most people are running the beta on dual boot just to see if it's worth the hype. So far, there's really nothing special. It looks cool and smooth though. Painfully expensive.*

As for Direct X10.0, don't worry. If you choose to keep XP, games like Halo 2 PC will simply install Direct X 9 L, which is simply the XP version the former.

Hi PwnageBot2000,

I just bought a new system. Dell Duo Core 2.66, nvidia 7950 GX2 1Gig, and 2 Gigs' of 677 Mhz ram. 2x 160 Gig HHD on a Raid 0.

Vista is not an issue for me as there is no way Microstoft will produce a an O/S that can't be run on current hardware. It simply does not make sense.

Additionally the game has been made under current O/S and hardware so there is no issue with Direct X 10.
