Windows 7: What Happened to Gaming?
,----[ Quote ]
| The problem I have with Windows 7, though, isn't its
| failure to vastly improve the gaming experience, it's
| Microsoft's failure to take advantage of the
| attention brought by the launch of a new operating
| system to once more thrust PC gaming into the
| spotlight.
|
| [...]
|
| If Microsoft want its PC gaming platform to thrive
| they will need to do more than offer lip service in
| the future. But with the lasting success of the
| gaming console and PC gamers' ability to seemingly
| put up with anything, why should they?
|
| Microsoft declined to comment for this article.

| Then I had an idea. What if this problem was somehow associated with Windows?
|
| Linux is an alternative operating system that is freely available. I had
| squirreled away several discs (bonuses from British computer magazines) that
| let you boot up to Linux from a CD without the need to actually install it.
|
| Guess what?
|
| My computer ran with Linux and didn't shut down.
|
| That would seem to indicate that the computer hardware is just fine, right?
|
| I had a copy of the new Windows 7 operating system ready to go; perhaps
| whatever incompatibilities my L100 had with Vista would be rectified with
| Windows 7!
|
| So, I started installing Windows 7, and things seemed to go pretty
| smoothly... at the start.
|
| But after 51 minutes, guess what? The installation shut down!
|
| When I pressed the power button, the "Windows Error Recovery" screen popped
| up.
