  Does Nintendo understand the term "Next-Gen"???

  Is it just me or does Nintendo not understand that if they want to make more money they need to develop a console with the power to handle next gen games. Nintendo's Wii's lack of hardware has begun to frustrate me since it cant handle titles like Assassin's Creed, the DC of GH and Rock Band, and much more. I think they need to make a console that isnt all about "family fun" and more about gamer's needs.

  Windows Vista Review- Is Windows Vista really better than Windows XP?

  Windows Vista has faced a lot of criticism since it was released in late 2006, due to the many bugs, glitches, and installation pains that creped through the minds of many people who were anxiously awaiting to use the new Operating System. I decided that my time had come to use Windows Vista, and now I write this review to reveal my thought of Windows Vista.

  GUI:

  In terms of GUI, Windows Vista definitely dominates Windows XP. The hideous "Luna" disaster of XP leaves a lot to be desired. Media Center 2005 did introduce Royale however, which was considerably better. However, compared to Windows Aero, Windows XP's GUI is nowhere near as good.

  Score: Windows Vista- 5/5 Windows XP: 3/5

  Stability:

  Stability, Stability, Stability: Windows Vista knows all about stability. Well, it knows all about how to not be stable. Vista has been plagued with problems due to stability, with many programs not being compatible, and constant program crashes. XP however, has been fairly clean in this category. So in terms of stability, XP takes the gold, hands down.

  Score: Windows Vista- 3.5/5 Windows XP: 5/5

  Speed:

  In the category of speed, it is a very close call. However, in my case, Windows Vista pulled out faster in the end. The Windows Aero Interface uses memory from your video card, therefore it frees up RAM on your CPU, leading that to one reason why it is faster than XP's default Luna. Other than that, overall Vista is just faster than XP in my opinion. In this category, Vista pulls out.

  Score: Windows Vista- 5/5 Windows Xp: 5/5 Tiebreak: Windows Vista

  Gaming:

  Gaming is the main reason why many people chose to upgrade. Windows Vista makes use of Direct X 10 (DX10), whereas XP makes use of DX9. This can show some considerably better graphics in Vista games, but the performance is usually faster in XP when playing the same games I was playing in Vista. Vista wins in graphics, but XP wins in performance.

  Overall:

  Overall, in my opinion, Vista is a better OS as a whole. It's not necessary to upgrade yet, but If I had the choice between Vista and XP, I would go with Vista. It's overall a cleaner (and more user-friendly) operating system than XP.

  Final Score:

  Windows Vista- 4/5

  Windows XP- 3.5/5
