Rein feels that things may change for the better with Vista as Microsoft
Mmmmm, may be M$ is giving some bucks to Mr Rein?. Vista EATS Megatons of resources only forr the system, that's not good for games... really, that's not good for anything. A SO is made to make that the aplications works fine, not for selling hardware.
When I can see games like Fallout, System Shock 2, Arcanum, Simulators and so in a console, may be I think to buy one of them.
But the worst issue about consoles, are the fanboys of every model. "My console is better, your sucks". It's like saying "My pennis is bigggggggger than yours".
