[casual_games] Vista Casts A Pall On PC Gaming

[Chuck Walbourn]

This article is an opinion piece by Alex St John. From my quick reading, all the content was already discussed here a thread here a few weeks ago. I recommend you check the archives for various responses. There are also a surprising number of responses to this article posted on <http://slashdot.org>.

In short, the article expresses Alex St John's views on the likely impacts of Windows Vista features on games in general and casual games in particular. Not everyone agrees with him. As there's no scientific data on percentage of agreement or disagreement, it is anyone's guess as to how many people agree or disagree.

If you don't understand what is happening with Windows Vista as it impacts games, you should take some time to educate yourself. The best place to start are the technical articles in the DirectX SDK (December 2006).
