At the moment, theres no Nvidia drivers with 3d AntiAliasing, so that makes games useless really :P

Did you know, you recieve drivers for some of your devices through Windows Updates?! :o

I thought they wouldve made something by now, seeing as the OS has been released. Oh well, it will come soon. ;) Theyre kind of at the little bit past beta stage at the moment I think

It's a pity That The world doesn't have consumer affairs,so that companys like Microsoft can be taken to task for releasing an inferior product.Especially when that same company knew that flaws existed before the release date.If that was an NZ company,consumer affairs would have hit them like a ton of bricks.So why is a company like Microsoft allowed to get a way with it.In a word,MONEY.And we ,The consumer,have to put up with their crap,and we do.WE, the consumer actually help Microsoft,we buy the product.If we didn't buy the product,Microsoft would be forced to have a very careful look at why, and have any errors fixed before offering them to the world's public.WE let Microsoft get away with this because basically we are greedy,microsoft know this and exploit it to the max.He preys on human weakness and succeeds,and ,at the end of the day,at this point in time XP is the better system,it at least runs all the programs,more than what Vista does.
