This is the same kind of crap that passes from person to person until the truth gets so horribly distorted and exaggerated that it's pretty much completely false. I have yet to find a program that I can't run on Vista, or that there's not a Vista version for. I acknowledge that there's probably a few...but not enough to actually make a stink over. It's rare enough at this point not to mention.

There is a limit to how far you can go on lying and still make it seem sensible, this simply exceeds that. But just to prove you wrong, lets see Assassin's Creed system requirements:
1 GB RAM for XP
2 GB for Vista
If you don't believe me, go to Can You RUN It? and see for yourself!

Yeah, the game itself is not requiring an extra gig just because it's running on Vista. That's what you said before. The game takes the same amount of memory, Vista's overhead is larger than XP's. We've been down this road.

Well then why should I spend $200 on Vista, when I don't want any of its crappy features. Why not stick to XP?

What do I care what OS you run? My only vested interested in this thread is to stop the BS. Make your own damn decision. I should point out, though, that YOU MADE THIS THREAD ASKING ABOUT VISTA. So was your intent to ask about Vista and then fight with the people who advocate it? Troooolllllll.

Vista wont even install on early P4s which are only 3 or at maximum 4 years older then it is.

LOL yes it will.

Umm.. this thread doesn't discuss Mac OS, we'll restrict ourselves to MS based operating systems for the time being and in specific the debate between XP and Vista.
|
Becuase the MacOS comparison hurts your argument you don't want to talk about it. lol. I pointed it out because it's another popular OS that people seem to think was sent by god (or mr. steve jobs) and it shares many things in common with vista. Yet people ***** about vista and praise leopard. It's hypocritical.

By patch I meant a tweak or customization to force that app to work on Vista (mentioned above as well).

You said "to get features to work". Features are included already on Vista....why would you need to patch them to get them to work? If you're referring to 3rd party apps I already talked about that on the top of this post.
