The correct question should be: Does Vista Support Games?.

Vista sucks as gaming platform... the fault is in the side of Vista mainly, because Mr. Gates has the source code of Windows XP available, and is his fault the lack of backwards compatibility of Vista.

There are many games that don't even start in Vista, and the ones that run... lose about a 33% of performance in Vista.

Vista is a software for games coming in the next 2 years, but today, the best thing to use a computer as gaming platform, is to make a partition, with Windows XP, to install any game on it... lot's of games will run without problems in your WinXP and more smoothly.

Some computer vendors, give you the chance to get a licensed copy of WindowsXP in exchange of your Vista (a great trade by the way). You will have time to return to vista in two years... o much better, you can bypass Vista, and wait for the next operating system that will follow to Vista in relatively few years (2 or 3)... surely they will have enough time then, to repair his crappy Vista, and sell it as a new product, enough tested, and working better (backwards compatibility is a must, not only in games, but for enterprises, that have software that doesn't run actually in Vista).

Most people who have problems in Vista either haven't installed drivers that they need to do or the games they wish to play are badly written or from the DOS world. Vista is a great opperating system, with many improvements over XP however it's not worth it to upgrade from XP to Vista and Vista gives a slight performance hit which is probbably the worst thing about it.

As said World war 2 online works, since it's a game written for windows, perfectly in Vista.

It's not however supported, so if you run into issues you should not mail the official support (but most issues are resolved in the community support forums anyway, so that's a no issue).

So 1.27 has been out for about 5 days now.  Even though it has been in "intermission", the battles that I have been in have been epic.  Lots of people, lots of equipment, lots of death and destruction.  I have even started to do fire suppression (hang back with LMG or tank and fire into the enemy position with all my ammo).  Supprisingly I've killed and wounded a lot of enemy this way. 

With 1.27, field resupply is possible for all infantry , armor, or field guns.  I think that alone makes fire suppression possible.

Well enough of this, here is another mortar shot (taken from another screen shot thread)

So a month later after 1.27 was introduced, it seems that TOE's work.  (at least for the allies)

This campaign there have been some really interesting pincing moves and slugfests on the global scale.

The above is a screeshot of the map back at the end of Sept.

Below was Oct 8th Sunday night at 12:30am PST.  Notice the big hole in the german lines?

And supprisingly there were many people on that late.  Seems more people have come back to look at the goodies

This pic was from Sunday night too.  It was the response to a renegade german division (2 brigades+HQbrigade) running behind the allied lines.  They were cutoff but were trying to move through cities in the rear near signy/launois causing havoc.  The Allied HC called out for paratroops to drop in the divisions intended path to slow them up so 2 allied brigades can catch up and hit them.  The end result, the whole division was routed from the field.

Later all

 While this isn't a pic, it is a link to a youtube movie showing what happens to a large axis bombing mission at 18,000ft when several hurricanes come down from 24,000 ft.

Seems there were 20 HE111s with 20 bf110s heading to the french factories just earlier today.  I like this movie because it has the voice from teamspeak included too.

I wish I was included in this, but I missed it.
