In response to your post, it's very likely that alot of programs aren't going to work with Windows Vista at first, this is simply because all operating systems apart from linux are uggy to start with don't you think?As well as that, Vista has alot ore hardware interaction than its predecessors because of the new filesystem, the new graphics architecture and the new window system.The graphics arcitecture is a massive step snce it's a complete change from Direct X, Avalon is supposed to use different hardware algorhythms and different graphics formats, so there's gonn abe lots of problems with htis between Microsoft and other companies because since Win 95 they've never changed the graphics core.In addition, like Windows XP, applications programmed for Vista are going to malfunction because Vista won't interact with programs perfectly at the start.Personally, I'm not gonna download vista 'til at least 6 months after its release because of all the security flaws.What do yo guys think?
