It does just boggle the mind to think of how much futher along we would be as you said, Systems would be absolutely amazing. You have hit the nail on the head. It is sad to see that instead of trying to put the best of the best togeather things seem to become more diverse. The kicker of it all is that when something really good comes out then everyone scrambles to rip it into their systems. Progress quashed by the Corp Cartels.
Yes this is unfortunately true. It is not just MS. I was simply saying I have better things to do with my time that to try to keep ahead of the next issue I'm going to have to deal with in new product, and I have had my fair share of that mind you. So I have no problem waiting till the product is stable enough to deal with on my terms.
"Online Multiplayer is an idea that sounds great until I get the game home. Once I have it home, online multiplayer sits in the corner unused with the PSP, my external Hard Drive, my PocketPC Cell Phone, and all the other cool tech that was really much cooler before I got it."
Many a time have I passed up a game simply because it did not have multiplayer. I have played my fair share of single player games and they do have their place. Howerver there is something very satisfying about seeking out the best players in a multiplayer game to match my wits against. I think he missed the boat on this one.
This did not just happen with Vista and XP. This is the norm for all new OS releases for Microsoft and will prolly never change. I'll wait 6 months to a year before I think about trusting any new OS.
