Will Vista impact performance?

[-|ScottFree|-]

People testing the new V.2 Beta of Windows Vista have reported a significant increase in the speed of the OS. Some are saying that the OS was now as fast as XP after having experienced some pretty poor performance in the previous version. With the introduction of A.E.R.O. the OS will be using more system resources, or so I assume. Are we going to see major declines in the speed of our benchmarks and our games when using Vista? It will be sometime before the cross over is complete, but there will be many people eager to get a taste of what Vista delivers with Dx10 when Crisis is released Q1 2007 (currently).

Will people be crossing over to Vista with excitement or anticipation? Having read a few articles about Vista, I am a little more apprehensive about moving so quickly!!!








How about giving us "Vista Lite Gamers Edition"

Vista has a better kernel than XP does. It has a superior memory management design that is now similar to the way nearly all UNIX-like systems manage memory. It should be a bit faster in gaming if the system can handle it.
