"Windows Vista. Yes, the OS that everyone loves to hate. Despite its enhanced security, improved CPU scheduler and excellent stability, it's still the flawed gem in many critics' eyes. But can Microsoft win back the XP crowd with its upcoming Windows 7 offering?
Perhaps if they considered the following 20 features they could heal the gaping gap left by the Vista vendetta."
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
I would love the idea of booting up in gaming mode. And a 64 bit only operating system is a no brainer!
I love how the only complaints with Vista are from Gamers. ahhahahahahahaha Look, crotch heads, gaming isn't the only thing done on an Os, idiots!
Vista is perfectly functional and perfectly viable in the context of what a Computer OS should do. Just because "some" things needed work arounds or upgrades you all cried and cried and cried.
Wanna game? Buy a xbox 360 or a Ps3 and shut your mouths. Some of us who work on computers love vista.
Quote: "and excellent stability"
What?! What version of Vista are these people running? Every computer I have ever used that had Vista installed was horrible. They always froze up on me, and crashed even! I hope Windows 7 is WAY...WAY better.
mac OSX + PS3 is the winning team.
XP via bootcamp/vmware takes car of the few remaining PC legacies.
linux via vmware
bye bye windows, BSOD and all that crap!
