1. Is it finally the year for Linux to take the throne?
No, it really isn't.
Linux VPS
2. It doesn't matter how much money you spend on hardware, you still
need an OS to run everything, and this leads to the question: which is
best? While the beardy weirdy brigade might keep banging on about how
great open source is and how we should all cuddle a penguin, Linux is
simply crap for gaming Yes, you can play games in Linux, and certain
games are now being released for Linux, usually several years after they
appeared on Windows, but it's not for the faint hearted
3. Linux VPS While we might complain about Windows foibles until the
cows come home, really there's nothing to complain about compared to
Linux If you can remember the bad old days when you had to configure
multiple config
4. sys and autoexec bat files, just to get different games working, and you
actually enjoyed it, then you are probably a Linux user
5. For the rest of us though, the only logical choice is Windows Which of
course begs the question, which version? Only Windows Vista offers the
visual delights of DirectX 10, but its brutal hardware requirements means
that you end up spending more money than you would for the equivalent
performance from a Windows XP rig
6. There's also the issue of hardware drivers Even a year after release,
there are still many drivers missing, or not working correctly in Vista
7. There's also the issue of cost Windows XP is a lot cheaper than Vista,
although it's not going to be available for much longer
8. Let's not forget that in Crysis, many of the so-called DirectX 10 features
have been unlocked in Windows XP For now, we'd say, unless you
absolutely have to have that Aero interface, Windows XP is still first
choice, while it's available
