  • AMD releases new Catalyst drivers for Vista - Interestingly, the new Catalysts also bring support for Blu-ray and HD DVD media playback in 32-bit versions of Windows Vista, disproving earlier rumors that Vista x86 would have no support for protected high-definition media. AMD hasn't yet implemented Blu-ray/HD DVD playback support in the 64-bit version of its driver, though. New features aside, the new Catalyst drivers fix bugs related to Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter, the Catalyst Control Center, and Windows Vista itself.  FYI, there is no OpenGL support when running in Crossfire mode (and AFR mode is not ready yet) and performance is still anywhere from 1 - 10% slower than Windows XP in various games.

  • Universal Planning More Than 100 HD DVDs - Universal Studios will release more than 100 new film and television titles in 2007.

Edit: I read up about WildTangent, it seems that every creadible spyware detecting software out there recognizses their games and software as evil.
Also, AOL uses the Wildtangent bundle.

And to add further to the soup - Alex, the boss of the company is the "father" of DirectX - making it all more FUD-ier then before.

Gold!

With the danger of having my foot in my mouth at hand, I belive WildTangent is just FUDing.

"Oh it sooooo much more secure then WE want...!"

How the flying frack can it be so secure its broken taking in the fact that there is so little change in the acctual underlying handling of permission in vista?

I blame incomptence, my lack of sleep and foot in mouth!

The cost of Vista is just so sad. How they expect to entice people to move to Vista with these prices is beyond me. Firstly, I don't buy upgrade CD's and secondly I don't pay $300 for an OS. Upgrade only fits when you have XP in place after that it's just stupid cuz the cd is totally useless unless you sit there like a fool and install XP just to upgrade to Vista... I think their prices are totally insane. Anyone and everyone that would change their OS is looking at > $200. Their protection scheme is also a joke. To put it mildly. I'm running dual boot/Home Premium(as of 2 days ago) and honestly, other than fluff I fail to see any need to upgrade. Good luck to MS trying to sell it. Anyone that knows better will just stick with XP.

XXXX: The thing is, that it probably will sell pretty good to consumers and OEM packs. Companys with some kind of IT infrastructure won't care for the time being though. :)

My Ultimate kit will arrive tomorrow, thankfully the company pays for it. :P

I'm not one to judge, but curious to know if XXXX has a legitimate copy of home premium himself. I'm dual booting business and XP home. I can see where Vista will eventually take over. It's the best windows to date in reference to security, features and usability. The pricetag is bloated as usual thanks to no real competition. People will just resort to stealing it as usual.

Yes I have tried it plenty, was a beta tester as well. Perhaps a little late into it because of work and life. I've also been testing Office if that matters? I've explored it and tested it on my own. I submitted bugs, was supposed to get a free release of it and lo and behold no email saying so. Likely because I'm not in the States or something. Either way, I get it free eventually and will have to move to it one way or another. I'm personally in no rush for it and yes, I don't plan at all to ever pay $300-$400 for "windows"...To me windows is like a staple- good, everyone needs it and requires it in life. So to know they can put a 3-400 price tag and get away with it shows me people are really asleep. I don't buy Linux or any other OS an alternative in life. Anyhow, who cares?

(I edited my original post because this better reflects my opinion and response to it.)
