I use Windows 7 and I am gaming on it all the time, including FEAR 2. I also used Vista and sadly owned the Home Premium. Never ran with it though, it's been de-installed almost 2 weeks since I stupidly bought it. Windows 7 is not Vista (yeah I know) but then all my games, XP or whatever all work perfectly on Windows 7. I keep seeing performance this and that about FEAR 2. I installed it, run it at the max of my monitor with max settings. I have yet to see even a stutter. I run games from early 90's on my Windows 7. No problems. Bioshock works perfectly too. I do not have a killer PC but you'd never know it from how well the games run.

People can dump on Vista, sure it sucked, but Windows 7 despite what you hear is NOT Vista. They made core changes, they have improved stability and performance. You would only know that if you actually ran it though. I easily see Windows 7 taking over from XP. Without a doubt.

Reading through your post this makes absolutely no sense.

"M$ are very deluded and can't get it throught their thick heads that consoles sell MILLIONS of games and hardware because change isn't forced down the console gamers throats."

Microsoft has the Xbox 360, I am pretty sure they are more than aware of what sales of console vs PC is... Confused

Windows is not just for gamers it's for Business, it's for enthusiasts and gamers.

sorry strangest, but i have heard soooo much bull from Gates over the past 15years that i wouldn't trust them again. They actively screw up gaming in all shapes and forms -yes they are a monopoly- it's not good for consoles and it's not good for PCs. There is NO level playing field, just because they have money means ZILCH. It doesn't mean better games just stiffles freedom of choice. When i play i like a 'menu', not if you want DLC you MUST buy an XBox, or PC. That's not choice, it's commuinistic! Hell why doesn't the whole world just get up at the same time, work, eat and shit and play a M$ product That's how gate's would have it. Like SKY in Europe; Want HD sport, want HD films....well it's ONLY on SKY. Great choice eh? No wonder there's greedy bastards in the world.
