Looks like OS development has become a bit faster, albeit regular updates isn't that bad either.

Sounds about right, Windows has always had 2-3 years development cycles; Vista was the only exception, and it was due to the development "reset" and move to Server 2003 codebase. Smile

The only thing I dislike about Vista, and thus Windows 7, is that Nvidia won't (or can't) support horizontal/vertical span in them... Supposedly, Vista introduced something that makes it hard for Nvidia to achieve it, so they won't pursue it. I guess I should be hating Nvidia for it, but still, I really dislike Vista for it.

They xbox360 uses ATI and thats NUFF SAID Laughing
