Is Vista really worth it.

[egghead]

Vista must be worth it for it to succeed. Or it will effectively become a severe bottleneck to graphic chip makers who rely on customers to buy their video cards to get the latest game effects. DirectX 10 will not be a feature in Windows XP and will be VISTA only and if only 5% of gamers switch to Vista then where will they get their cash from? And that means that new games will suffer since they will only be run in the older pixel shading modes of DirectX 9 using Windows XP. I know I am waiting until I get it with a new PC when I buy one but dual core is strong enough to last three years or even 5 at the pace the software is going..
