DirectX 11 Comes To Vista

Posted 11/01/2009 at 06:46:22am

I don't get it. Tell me one more time why we should be wetting our pants over DX11?

 

I seem to recall reading how game after game ran slower under DX10 with little appeciable difference in visuals.

 

Now, is DX11 going to be the same thing: Slower, only slightly different, and useful only as a benchmark?

 

Do magazines get kickbacks for pimping Microsoft products?

Web ExclusiveI've used CorelDRAW since on
Download of the Week: Inkscape

Posted 10/28/2009 at 06:40:52pm

I've used CorelDRAW since 1990, and it is not expensive. Teachers and students can pick it up for $100.

 

But it is a bug-fest. Always has been, and Corel doesn't really patch out bugs.

 

I've often wondered about InkScape--whether or not I'd have to sacrifice anything to switch. I use GIMP a bit, but it can't print anything, so I'm still stuck with Corel PhotoPaint.

ReviewsA couple of thoughts I'd on
Windows 7 Review: XP vs Vista vs 7 in 80+ Benchmarks

Posted 10/19/2009 at 03:51:27pm

A couple of thoughts I'd like to bounce off the informed:

 

What happens to all the Vista PCs on shelves right now? I know retailers are offering free upgrades, but I know from experience that upgrade installations suck. I wouldn't pay a dime for a machine that didn't come with the new OS--not unless they threw in a full retail or OEM Windows 7 disc. Will those older machines sell?

 

Why isn't the ribbon along the left or right side of the screen, rather than the top? Screens are getting wider, but not much taller, so it's counter-intuitive to take up valuable space along the top of the screen. Can that silly ribbon be relocated?

This is crap. You get more time if you steal a car. That many discs are worth more than most cars.

 

These light sentences won't deter anyone else from doing the same.

 

Stick 'em in a federal penitentiary for five years of anus-stretching fun, at the very least.
