According to Tom's Hardware, Microsoft's is encountering a number of problems with games and their newest operating system: Vista.

Redmond (WA) - In a conversation with TG Daily, Microsoft defended itself against claims that Windows Vista does not run 90% of the games on the market today. However, while largely dismissing on one of big negative headlines flanking the launch of the new operating system, Microsoft conceded that the game rating process isn't perfect and there's at least one fix in the works.

If you weren't waiting for SP1 before, now you have another reason to.

I wonder, why they ignored software compatibilty problems in Vista. XP had it compatible from old applications to DOS games, atleast had fixes to make compatible.

Well, XP didn't play nice for sometime until compatible appz were released. Vista is far better than XP was.

That's not a fast card. 7600GS is better than it. Even a 6600GT can beat it sometimes.

X1600Pro isn't. But X1650Pro and X1650XT are like 7600GS and 7600GT.
