I managed to install CounterStrike: Source the other day, and to be honest, it could be a bit smoother, but it’s still playable. Also installed Office 2007, and I have to admit that Microsoft did a good job in redesigning the user interface, but it is still a bit overloaded. Only a bit. Boot time is okay, but could be faster. Shutdown time still sucks. And after a PRAM reset Vista recognized all 4GB, not just 3 of 4GB of RAM. As I said in the first post about Vista, I installed it only and only for gaming purpose, nothing else. Well, okay, to get used to it so that I don’t have to when my company migrates from Windows XP and Office 2003 – won’t need any training at all.
So here is my conclusion:
Vista is Windows like we wanted it to be 5 years ago. The user interface got redesigned in an eye cancer avoiding way and it feels right. But you need a whole lot of new hardware to get things up and running.
“Nur” playable? Auf meinem 1 Jahr alten MacBook Pro läuft XP im BootCamp, und darin laufen CS:S und DOD:S flüssig mit 50-60fps, sogar auf meinem externen 24″-Monitor läufts noch mit 1920×1024 (oder was der hat) mit 30fps recht gut…
dein macbook pro hat aber a andere grafikkarten drinnen oder?
