vista is gonna set new standards, either you like it or not, like xp did, and 95/98 did before.
you cannot deny that whatever you say and it is history repeating again....
so yeah, features in soliter can be disabled if they made it use pixel shader 2 or 3, there is no support in an old 9200 card... like when 95 came, all pc users ditched old ISA cards and moved to PCI... so what? evolution.
and if you make a funny remark about windows being crap or {bleep}ty, well then, you either don't want to see facts as they are, or just sucking up because this is an amiga site and u have yet another chance to praise AOS/MacOS or whatever OS....
