Gamers React to Vista Launch

As cranky as IT folks are about having to roll out new Vista installs, support them, update them, etc, gamers are matching them in irritation. Ars Technica recommends you dual-boot XP and Vista if you want to keep gaming on your PC. Voodoo Extreme explores Vista's crappy audio setup, while Computer and VideoGames reports that some small developers think Vista will ruin PC gaming (a comment we've heard before). C&VG does have a slightly more hopeful article up too, talking about the future of Vista gaming and what the new OS could mean for games ... once all the kinks are worked out.

Lack of hardware sound

Voodoo extreme has nothing to do with this article. They are only pointing to it.
The real article is at IGN:

Please, skip the redirections and ad views...

And I must say that this decision (no hardwrae acceleration) will badly hurt Creative Labs. Maybe, just maybe, this screw up will restart some competition in the sound card market?

now that Microsoft has a console, we are supposed to stop gaming on PCs?

Nope. Apparently you haven't heard about Microsoft's efforts to revitalize PC gaming. Well, now you have.
