Halo 2 For the PC-YES!!!- One minor catch
Page 11 of the April issue of CPU. "Can Halo 2 sell Vista?
Yep, thats right, YOU'll have to have Vista OS to run Halo 2. I guess the MS OS XP Home/Pro they have been hyping up and selling us for the last five years isn't up to the task. Wonder what makes MS think Vista will be any better since some of the new featurs, teck wise that Vista was supposed to have no longer will.
OH thats right, please forgive me! Vista will have better security!
Where have I heard that one before
MS needs to put the little drum roll [Win 95 style] back into all of this

maybe more than $200 as gamers will be running Windows Vista Home Premium.
Prices are rumored to be between $99-$299 for the above 8 versions.Windows Starter 2007 - Vista without Aero, probably meant for developing nations.
Windows Vista Home Basic - Basic Windows Vista for your single PC fam, doesn't sound like much going on here. Analagous to XP Home.
Windows Vista Home Basic N - European version of the same, but without Media Player (because of antitrust rulings against MS in the EU).
Windows Vista Home Premium - This is the one we're all probably gonna own. It's got Media Center functionality, Cable Card support, the whole home-media shebang.
Windows Vista Business - Think of it as XP Pro, but Vista.
Windows Vista Business N - Think of it as XP Pro, but Vista, but Euro.
Windows Vista Enterprise - Business version of Vista with numerous enterprise features, like Virtual PC, volume encryption, etc.
Windows Vista Ultimate - Love that name. This one does all of the above (and more)
I've heard about this... pretty weak move if you ask me.
I almost wish I were in school for another year or two. I can get XP Pro for free through school and I would imagine I would be able to get a better version of Vista for free by the time it is released too. I don't plan on upgrading to Vista anytime soon either... not worth my money.

Eight versions of Vista; Great, that means eight times the security threats/risks. Sorry, I forgot, MS says this will be a very secure OS. My falult, I've never known them to be wrong on what they say. Funny how Vista isn't even out yet and they are plannig their next NEW OS with the new File system that got left out of Vista. Then again, Bungie and MS are working on a Halo 3. Yep, thats right, Halo 3. This way, we'll need to upgrade to the next OS so we can play Halo 3. What ever happened to back [real world] compatability. Let me guess, Halo 2 for th PC will require Dirx 10 which Win XP won't have. Ah yes, lets make this less of an up grade option for us users. Me, I'll hang onto XP Pro for a little while

I believe N just means the crippled version without Media Player preinstalled or something due to the lawsuits. Then again... you could just download it and then there's no difference.Imakeholesinu wrote:I don't get what Vista Buisness N is. Euro? Europe only?
So there's really only three versions that most of us would actually have to worry about.
Basic = Home
Basic Premium = MCE
Business = Pro
