25 Games Tested in Vista

mikemuch writes "Jason Cross at ExtremeTech has installed more than 25 PC Games in Windows Vista and reports back with his experiences with each. For the most part, the OS handled games with aplomb, but on the whole ran them slightly slower than XP, and some required logging in as administrator to install them. These and other minor issues were the result of immature drivers. It was hit or miss whether games would appear in the Games Explorer correctly with box art, and GameTap doesn't work yet at all."

The only reason I have Windows (well except for testing production websites in IE) is for games. We use Mac OS X for our workstations (lower support cost, higher productivity) and Linux for our Servers. For me, gaming is moving onto handhelds, consoles and cardboard. Vista? Maybe sometime in a year or two.
