Yup, 100.65 definitly helped out. WMV is still about 24-30% usage but walls like Dark Avatar are around 15% now.

Cut the price in half, then sit back and watch the sales increase. Not to mention allowing people to Install the OS without a key, that has to be the dumbest move ever.

Then you don't get Dreamscene, its an Ultimate Extra.

Right, it has nothing to do with dreamscene or the fact that the majority of them are probably wmv?

Actually what you said was completely backwards. They ARENT focusing on FPS in games, and benchmarks prove it. There is still a heavy hit ingame. Anyway, back on topic here. I don't see how people are having problems. I run a 7900GTO with 100.64 and my average CPU usage is around 18% with the exact same wallpaper seen above. Heres a pic: http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/2410/deskoc0.jpg I suggest you all try 100.64, they are by far the best so far. Desktoping on thes

I don't see how its in poor shape for gamers, I just installed a leaked beta of the 100.40 drivers and I can play just about anything, including HL2/CS:S/DOD:S/And Source Mods.

Yeah theirs plenty of 3rd party applications on OS X, but 99.9% of them you have to pay for. Their are tons of free applications or FREE versions of applications for Windows. I like many others like to choose what kind of software I use to burn CDs, not have some app thrown at me by Microsoft that I have to use if I want to burn something. Yes they added many new things in like the ability to burn a CD/DVD - but I also still have the ability

Wile Microsoft adds these features in, their is still 3rd party applications - so don't compare it to OS X.

I would just ignore him, its going no where. We all know how things work in reality, its a shame he doesn't. Not enough features? So stability, highly improved memory management, and the most secure Windows to date isn't enough? I don't know how people can even call Apple a competitor of Microsoft. Can you even call someone that owns 2% of the market a competitor?

Reply to Touring Windows Vista - Part 3: Controls, Apps & Games in Windows Vista WinCustomize Forums

Yes. Apple. Those innovators. Why, they are adding such amazing features into Leopard. Like um, you know, um.. YES!!! Icons snap to a grid now!!! With that kind of thinking outside the box who knows what they will come up with next!

If they copied Apple why haven't they filed a lawsuite?

Reply to Core 2 Quads are Coming! in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Yes, because we all love spending large amounts of money for something that is not widely supported. Good luck getting ANY sort of performance increase wile gaming, and since it does not I for one will not even look at purchasing one. Maybe in 2 years when half the games finally utilize it.

Very true, AMD2 did not sell very well at all.

Reply to Core 2 Quads are Coming! in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Ive seen benchmarks for gaming and Quad core has proven useless - 90% of the games on the market don't even support or take advantage of 2 cores and here comes a quad core processor? FLOP!
