Strange that the author should suggest that Windows 7 requires a lot of patches. I make it roughly a 5th of the number of patches of a current Linux OS, and of course yo uhave the advantage that Microsoft on average release security patches much faster than the Open Source OS world....

Plants vs Zombies is compatible with most Windows 7 installations even before the patch.

Half Life definitely works in Windows 7, although I've not played through it all yet.

The only incompatible game I've found so far - under both Vista and Windows 7, is GTA 1. It seems to be an Nvidia driver issue so should be fixed in the future.

I can always on this site and it's readers to provide an ignorant view of the computer world. I wonder how many of you l33t haxors have actually installed and used 7

My thoughts exactly. Other than "Hello world", there isn't an program, OS or application on the planet without bugs. Period. I for one am glad to see MS finally addressing problems instead of ignoring them as they were known to do in the past.

Also, A BIG part of the problem here is legacy software and Games. Norton 360, ESET Smart security and Nero 8 were the newest things I saw in the list. Most of the stuff in the list is old, not to mention a lot is obscure. I didn't see D.I.R.T. anywhere in the list btw. This is what happens when ppl expect backwards compatibility forever. Go fish! Pop and Drop? Really? Save your Losedoze, Winblows or whatever clever 3rd grade flame name for something with more substance.

So that's the reason my dirt kept causing win7 to crash..... sheeesh. I'm starting to think WINE might be more stable... :(

..or blind stupidity?

Which OS can I buy/download that never needs a bugfix please? I've no need to defend Microsoft (and neither the need to haha, chortle, call them "micro$uckozr" etc - timeless joke that it is..) but really, patches for software are a fact of life period.

Maybe Micr0$ucks will release Vista SP3 and call it LoseDoze 8. Sorry to all those who own the slightly downtrodden stock that is M$ - I forgot that "bashing" Micr0$ucks is frowned upon.

I will say three Hail-Bills and five Oh-Steves before I go to bed tonight as penance for my sins.

If everything else in the world is perfect, then why is OSX past version 10.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.

People need to grow up and realize that there will always be bugs in everything no matter what. The only software with no bugs is either WAY too simple or has not been released so that the bugs can be found.

UNIX has bugs, Linux has bugs, BSD, OSX, Windows, etc...

If having a bug means it sucks, then EVERYTHING including the PS3, 360, Wii and on and on and on all SUCK.

more evidence that this is an unfinished 'beta' product.

they have a barefaced cheek to ask people for money for it
