more vista self fulfilling prophecies...
-
someone here (at work) said that someone, somewhere, already tested streaming video under Vista and found it unsuitable for streaming video. So he is demanding exceptions to the change-over policy a few weeks back. I looked at him and said who? and how did they test? he didn't know, but it proved what he already knew so didn't need to verify it. uh yeah... I told him about the dual video stream internal pipelines plus the 3rd party (vendor) interface that provides OpenGL. I said I already verified, on MY laptop (which is slower processors than work, though nothing to sneeze at) that our streaming video is fully supported through the opengl layer at higher speed even... since the MS back away from interefering with the 3rd party graphics channel you can stream anything you want unhindered and unencrypted. But obviously my test was flawed.... I guess he is using his/this new data to prove all his machines are incapable of running Vista due to software incompatibilities even though there is no such incompatibility. I can even stream to GLASS top rate without a hickup. Even imbed to augmented reality since it's all openGL and still no problem... So I guess I will be seeing some folks here DIGGing this guy's report when it goes public huh? I can see the headlines now... "Army cannot support Vista- proof Vista won't work." and my calculus teacher used to harass me over half-assed proofs.... That teacher obviously makes me overqualified.

Unusual. Most Vista criticism is that it's only good for graphics. :doh:

I've been using Vista sence the second last RR ( has been updated past the RR), I've loaded it on my game box, my server box, and my low end laptop. With exceptions of the laptop ( needed more ram, though was a nice test still worked fine with everything turned down), I have had and still have no issues todate with Vista. Drivers for hardware? most vista drivers that came out when vista was released, were xp based. set to compatability mode and your laughing ( for the most part). Oh, I had one issue with the mic, but with a little tinkering that got solved. What it boils down to I find, are people not really willing to learn or try something different. Innovation of vehicles took how many years to get to where they are today?

The original Vista audio driver for my Dell Latitude D820 caused problems with streaming media, stuttering quite a bit. "Seamless playback" of playlists in Windows Media Player, well, wasn't. The answer to many people asking 'how could Microsoft release Vista with <x> not working?' is, 'they didn't'. It worked on their test machines, with their drivers. Most third-party drivers suck. A particular problem is the lag in getting the OEMs to issue OEM-adapted drivers for the hardware in the computer, if the hardware was adapted for the OEM. Right now I'm using a later nVidia driver than Dell have made available, through fiddling with the .inf file. The standard driver was and is molasses-slow in 3D games - it's dated January 2007, and the nVidia drivers of that date are known bad. In particular new computers tend to come with a pile of crapware, half of which breaks Windows, drivers for all the devices they might optionally install (half of which break Windows if the device is missing), and many of the drivers for the devices that are there are out-of-date. I've come to accept that you need to repave any computer that comes with its OS pre-installed, and consider carefully what manufacturer-supplied software you need to install.
