huh? oh well, suit yourself

I the hell care whether you believe or not! Its my opinion!
welcome to internet discussion forums.

I think someone with an actual brain would! But I'll repeat it in simpler words for sake of arguement, comparing Windows 98 with XP isn't the same as comparing XP to Vista (XP has a much higher edge in the first case than Vista does in the second case)
no no, we were talking about the performance difference here. equally, 98 and 95 were both 9x based, but 98 used up quite a lot more resources. But, you could compare win2000 to winxp if you'd like....

I remember SOMEONE saying not too long ago that they had a 2.8 GHz P4 and Vista wouldn't install because the graphics card was not supported. And that is a pretty high-end P4, the starting models only had a 1.3-1.6 GHz processor
someone, somewhere..... somehow...

Oh yeah and the actual date is July 1999, not exactly a 21st century PC is it?
nope, but almost. the pc's you think are supposed to run Vista are equally old compared to the OS' release.

Like I said, my opinion, and there are probably more, I don't think you've carried out a research which confirms that only one game doesn't work
From own testing, most work. I'm talking to someone who probably hasn't had much experience with Vista at all, so you're the one to talk. And, where's that list with non-working games anyway?

It doesn't suck based on just that, the other 50 reasons mentioned over the past 4 pages also come into account I think!!
many were unfounded, or outdated. I already said that, btw.

286 date of release: February 1982
Windows XP date of release: October 2001

Pentium 4 date of release: November 2000
Windows Vista date of release: July 2005

How fair is your comparison, 26 year old processor won't run XP, blame goes on XP. 8 year old PC won't run a 3 year old Vista, Vista emerges completely faultless. I think you should revise your grade 3 Maths book, getting a bit rusty with the substractions.
earth to gamefreak, I was exaggerating with a reason there
