Out of those 50 plus reasons, half are solved with the updates... Out of the games that dont work now after the vista updates is mainly ones due to driver issues or the game was poorly developed like mgs2, it doesnt work 100% on any os so expecting it to work on vista is pointless, and my fav game beyond good and evil works if you disable hardware transformation and lighting but then it requires a powerful cpu still issues like this can be solved with driver updates that is if nvidia see it as a driver issue since the game still works anyways...

This brings to the issue of the testing issues of vista especially when the public involved when idiots report turok 2 on pc works when it only works for 30 min then enemies and objects start to disappear. It is an issue that still exists today because it wasnt, like many things on vista, tested properly and once vista was released it went to damage control because the allot of the public testers werent reporting bugs or issues properly.

It is a great os now after the updates and the hardware upgrades but any os even win 98 and win xp required hardware upgrades, sure it wasnt as much as vista, still it was not a surprise to me especially if kept your eye on the release candidates, so quit complaining about hardware requirements when it is so much cheaper now to upgrade the hardware for vista then it was for win xp and win 98.
