well heres my opinon the only best os to come from microsoft are the ones with the years in them eg

windows 95

windows 98

windows 2000

windows 2003

and look at all the failers

windows me :p

i say call it windows 2006 so much easier and understandable

i think they need to go the apple route and just name it windows 6 like someone said. simple names, no confusion about what is better increment the name. maybe even windows o/s 6. but just windows and the version would suffice and be simple. but the name vista is cool to me.

Vista? or ure username?

haha, seriously people get over the Vista username it doesn't reflect on the quality of the product in any way. We all know the development process and hard work of the programmers will give us our next version of windows and hopefully it will be as stable as possible. I for one like the name. Its not the best ever but it is growing on me.

Windows Vista: Makes me think that clarity, confidence and connectivity in Windows is a distant prospect. :p

Not a big fan of the name but like it matters, chances are I won't upgrade unless I still have my student license for msdn and get it free or download a volume license version off of p2p or something.

    • AMD confirms 26.6.2 FSR driver breaks on many Windows PCs by Sayan Sen Earlier today AMD released a major graphics driver update as it brings support for FSR 4.1 to Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs. The new update, version 26.6.2, also brings support for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and more. And while the driver technically supports Windows 10 version 21H2 and newer, the tech giant has confirmed that there is a major issue with the new driver on non-Windows 11 PCs as it fails to launch properly on such systems. The error message says, "The version of AMD Software that you have launched is not compatible with your currently installed AMD graphics driver." Therefore on the surface it looks like a compatibility problem. AMD has also confirmed that the device manager will display the yellow bang or yellow exclamation sign alongside your GPU under the Display adapters dropdown. Here is what the Radeon team's official advisory recommends to affected users: "Users Running Windows 10 and AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 May Encounter Yellow Bang in Device Manager Affecting AMD Radeon RX Series Graphics ... Our Engineers are currently investigating this issue and will provide a fix once it is available. Affected users may revert to AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.1 as a temporary workaround." As such you should revert back to the previous 26.6.1 driver which was released earlier this month. In case you were looking to play Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and DOOM: The Dark Ages | Revelations you will probably have to wait a while if you want the driver to support those games officially. You can find the support article here on Microsoft's website.

    • Underpowered and overpriced, both separately and together. This is to be taken as a "1st gen" (Linux+Proton based), and to wait for the 2nd gen that hopefully is a bit better value/balanced. Or wait for a sale.
