Computer & Video Games is once again providing some commentary by Mark Rein. This time Mark discusses Windows Vista, which according to him has both improvements and degradations for gaming. Here�s some of the words:
"I'm bitterly disappointed that they're shipping a 32-bit version of Vista - I think that's very short-sighted, I really don't see the point of it," Rein told us. "I think they [Microsoft] kind of capitulated to Intel... I think Intel put the squeeze on Microsoft and said 'We're still going to do some 32-bit chips, you've got to do a 32-bit version'."
