According to this blog Microsoft vista still has 27.000 bugs left. I am starting to wonder wether I should wait atleast a half year after launch before I purchase it, just getting it for Crysis and a dx10 card seems a bit over the top for now.

Yeah, some adapted version of directx 9. I am sure that Crysis will run on xp too. I am just wondering wether buying vista early will give me benefits, or will just give me an headache.

Yes mendel, a recent interview on one of the major 3d graphics sites with Microsoft let leak that all current video and the majority of screenshots are running on DirectX9 hardware with a few quite distinct screenshots running on a software emulated DX10 renderer.
BTW, Vista will be full of bugs, because its not the nature of a new OS to be resilient. Linux fanboys can go eat there shorts, because their OS stability comes from 30 years of coding and they nick all the good ideas from Microsoft and Apple... /discuss:

I really don't care if they have bugs, it just gives mac assholes and linux users a reason to flame windows. If you think about it, nearly all of the mac users crapped their pants when they were able to emulate windows, because windows is that much better than any mac os. If there are bugs initially, they will be squashed and windows will still own the industry.

I can assure you it WON't give you early benefits,
cuz i bet there is a major fix comming or something like that as soon as it gets out.
i mean it's still WINDOWS they just changed the name so people wouldn't get scared to buy it.
Time microsoft uses some DDT to get rid of them bugs
