I got an XPS Dimension 9200 as a gift for finishing school well, and the computer came with Vista. So you heard the rumors right? Vista is so amazing....vista so cool....vista has everything. Ok now, listen to me, Vista is major BS. It completely is bugged, and drags the whole system down. Although through all of that,  I have a NVIDIA 8600 GTS 512 MB videocard w/ DirectX 10. I love this card, and my computer has 2GB memory, so any game basically runs like an angel. Oblivion - All graphics on MAXIMUM.  Runs like a beauty no lag, about 32 fps. It's amazing. And Spider-man 3, again, all graphics on MAXIMUM, with anti-aliasing on 16x. Its all amazing. Vista is only known for DirectX 10 and graphics. Also, for its nice search engine . But its MOSTLY known for its crappy loading times, it's bugs, it's dragging down, and  it's bad compatibilities.

Overall Vista Performance:

Games: 5/5

Performance: 1/5

Search Engine: 5/5

Looks: 3/5

Overall Average: 14/20 = 70% = D!
