    Wow … it looks like MS is really committed to PC gaming these days. Wonder why the Mac commercials never talk about FUN stuff like gaming … hah Macs … Vista and PC gaming forever. No Halo 2 coming to the Mac so I guess Mac users will just have to have fun making photo abulms and the like. No thanks and no Mac for me.

    Windows vista is supposed to be all about gaming this time around.

    I wonder if that will translate into lesser cpu, harddrive, and ram consumption by the ever doubling-in-system-needs windows, but I somehow doubt that hehe.

    MS MUST DIE! Just .. be caaaauuse!

    monopolies lead to stagnation in developments, and that’s never good.

    Thats why Vista minimum requirements are high. Its so u can keep up with PC gaming.

    I realllly don’t trust minimum requirements, since they always seem to be double as high:P

    Anyway well see when it comes out. I look at my friends pcs.. and if blue smoke doesnt ruin them, and the gaming actually improves (which I strongly doubt)

    then I’ll get it

    doom: I agree, minimum requirements are never what they should be, just look at the min req. for Windows Vista…
