After Nvidia and ATI got their heads out of their asses and made decent drivers and MS released SP1 I assumed this whole issue became null as all the XP holdouts got extremely quiet about it.
I like graphs. You like graphs?
If you ever use a game designed to take full advantage of DX10, you’ll find that it’s far from a disaster. DirectX is just like Windows, after every major release all the holdouts bash it until it becomes the standard then they quietly switch to it, wait a few years, then laugh at how some people could ever defend the old version over the newer one.
People used to hate XP with a passion and claim that Win98 was far superior in the realm of gaming. Well yeah, GG on that one. We’ve come full circle, will you be the early adopter or the holdout that still thinks Win2k is the best OS ever coded when everyone else was using WinXP SP3.
Windows 2000 was probably the best client machine OS ever written for an enterprise network. It couldn’t do much for a home user but with a pure NT kernel, that’s not what it was written for.
