we'll see once it's officially "out". I give os'es a 1 year burn in before I even concider them to see what kind of problems people are having first. If it looks like more of a pain than it's worth I stick with what I have. Though personally, if it can beat xp64 on performance I will gladly switch. ATM I'm using more linux than windows since I've been playing most of my games on my 360. But I'm kinda rooting for M$ to get this right since I can't hate the company too much that gave me windows 98 or xp.

The biggest "fsck"ing issue they gotta fix though is their filesystem. If you shut off a linux computer improperly you don't get the file corruption you do in windows. That's because linux uses a journaling filesystem while windows has stuck to it's (insanely easy to break) ntfs filesystem. If they can somehow get a file system like ext3 I'm sure windows would be at least another 20% more stable than it is now.

ps. fsck is the linux app to check a partition for errors on a hard drive

ok for gaming at this moment in time it has to be

XP then windows 7 then linux then vista

Vista is a sack load of poo.

same old post, 98 or xp? ppl votes for 98. But today those people knows better.
XP from last year is not the same as XP today, much had changed.
