Halo 2 Only on Vista
iLogiK writes "Halo 2 will be available for PC, but only in Windows Vista. From the announcement: 'Halo 2 the game that redefined first-person combat and multiplayer action for millions of gamers worldwide, is set to explode onto PCs exclusively for Windows Vista. Halo 2 for Windows Vista will be developed by a dedicated Microsoft Game Studios team in partnership with Bungie Studios.'" That's one way to force upgrades. I thought just not releasing patches for the microsoft-worm-of-the-week would be enough ;)

You probably won't hear this, but underneath all the Wintendo themes and bubbles and hiding inactive icons and personalized menus... XP is actually pretty stable. And you can turn all that stuff off and get the security and functionality of a NOT 6 year old OS which runs pretty much just as fast as it's predecessors... I know, it takes time to disable all that crap...but still, isn't it worth it, so you don't get hit by a 2 year old virus?
I'm an Ubuntu person myself... but when I have to use Windows (I.E. my clients), XP really isn't that bad (once you turn off all the crap). You just have to know where to turn it off. It's still 2k underneath!
It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.
