I dont get it.Whats the meaning of "ran its course" ? There are many things in our lives which just work, work as we like and we do not have the need to change them.
Win 7 is very easy to pirate, and yes with the updates too, maybe not AS easy as xp but still.
I just dont have any reason to change my xp64 besides dx11, thats about it, i would gladly pay full win 7 price just to get dx 11 functionality and be free of all the vista quirks.Yes win 7 is just a tweaked vista, just that in the meantime hardware got faster.
And as for the driver updates, fact that it only supports dx9 doesnt have to do with anything, a driver could be broken on dx9 title, or opengl, or some system specific etc.I have a 7, but i hate using it, however im one of those who use total commander as a main user to system gui .
