,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft has trumpeted the benefits of its upcoming Windows

Vista DRM to slow down high-end graphics? [update 1]

,----[ Quote ]
| We've posted before on how the Vista brand will change the PC gaming
| market. But how will the OS affect the gameplay experience itself?
| An in-depth analysis of the operating system's draconian digital
| rights management features suggests gamers might not be too happy
| with some of the system's unintended performance effects.

Vista gaming will be 10 to 15 per cent slower than XP

| So if you play Battlefield 2 or FEAR or any other popular game you are
| likely to get lower frame rates with Vista. That is certainly not a
| good buying argument but don?t think you and I have much choice as it
| looks like a take it or leave it deal. I like Vista as the 3D desktop
| looks sexy but that is probably its key feature.

Microsoft doesn't yet play games on Vista

| The firm has its Vista logo all over its boothm, but all the machines that
| we investigated were running Windows XP.
| 
| Obviously, it is still not the right time to switch to Vista as things
| might be not stable for current games. We hope that they can meet the
| early 2007 schedules.
