Vista Goes On Sale

January 30th, 2007
Microsoft’s new operating system Windows Vista has officially and finally, launched. It took them around 5 years, 6 billion dollars and numerous delays, but it’s finally here. Too bad gamers can’t expect much from it now, as there are no games supporting DirectX 10 yet. Company of Heroes will be the first game to support DX 10 with a patch, while Crysis, the most anticipated DX 10 title, is still at least 6 months away. In the future, Microsoft’s Live Anywhere service will make it possible to connect to Xbox Live using Vista, and playing against gamers on the Xbox 360 network.
As for the operating system, reviewers aren’t impressed, to say the least, as the new OS has been criticized for everything from DRM to licensing issues.
