I plan on upgrading to Vista for the 64-bit support. Nuts to Halo2.

I don't like Vista... I'll only install it on my computer when all of its bad features have been cracked out.

It will be a sad day in history when Vista is released.  Not looking forward to it at all, for many reasons.

SKuzzy has mentioned numerous times that Windows Vista will be loaded with all sorts of DRM (digital rights management) stuff.

Wait, I don't get it. Are they re-releasing halo 2 with support for only windows vista?

Or some kind of mandatory patch you have to download?

Well, it helps if you read the article. :) Still doesn't make sense though. I rarely if ever play halo 2, and its on the xbox anyway.

Plenty of old games. No one has come up with a new game in years anyway. The only thing "new" is the eye candy.

Eye candy tends to lose its luster fairly quickly IMHO.
