so does vista make games run faster?

same thing said about xp

64 bit apps will become te norm in the next couple of years, there are no pre-built pc's made withing the last ~2 years that dont support 64 bit. multi-core and 64 bit are the future, and they are both coming fast.
 
So your entire reason for not wanting to use Vista is because it has DRM built in and can degrade your video playback, but you also say you don't want to use your computer to watch video? That's contradictory.

DRM might poll every second, I really don't know because I haven't read anything on how Vista handles DRM, but one more application in the mix isn't going to degrade performance on today's hardware to any noticable extent. If you think your computer is really ever idle to begin with, run Regmon for about 30 seconds. Besides, Superfetch alone will more than make up the hit caused by a process polling once a second in most circumstances.
 
Screw that nonsense. There is a lot of substance to the Vista shell, it puts XP to shame (not that XP's default interface needed any help achieving shame).

new Start Menu actually makes sense unlike the XP Start Menu, is properly organized and auto-sorts entries

left-hand panes in Explorer shell windows are useful now and not just for retards

breadcrumb navigation in place of the address bar

uber fast indexed file search with no stupid little doggy buddy

no more irritating bubble notifications

realtime window previews for alt-tab and taskbar buttons

Gadgets/Sidebar





...And yes, it's fucking pretty. What exactly is the problem with that?
