Apparently Microsoft is now competing with itself. They make the Xbox 360, but also want to encourage people to game on their PC rather than their console. So they have spearheaded the Games For Windows advertising initiative. They are putting PCs into retail stores so you can play demos of PC games on it in the store, much like you can with consoles. They are making Vista gaming much easier than XP gaming. Games get their own folder for easy access and organization, games are easier to install, etc. And they will all have a consisten Games For Windows banner across the top of the box front on the games. I guess this is a good idea, maybe it will encourage more people to use PCs for gaming rather than consoles, since PCs are better anyway. Games Folder in Vista:  Games with banner on the top of their boxes:  |

Certainly not a bad idea.
But I know only a few competent PC AND console gamers.

PC gamers are way higher class than console gamers. It's like comparing Wet Bread with A Pirate. There's just no competition.

No, Nah...
More like a Ninja, ON FIRE, flying through a crumbling hospital at 120 miles per hour, being chased by Super Saiyan Goku, Chuck Norris, Jambi the Genie, and all the Power Rangers.
In High Definition of course.

Ummm, what is that for? That's friggin' cool, not sad. It's because he is a sad little console gamer, and the idea of being chased by Super Saiyan Goku, Chuck Norris, Jambi the Genie, and all the Power Rangers doesn't really appeal to him. |

Christmas money, birthday money, chore money.
It just requires a little patience and a good eBay auction.

Wetpaint, he won't have enough money for a NEW Vista enabled PC.
It'd be cheeper to get a slightly used but current computer, and then upgrade it.
Plus, it's not entirely true that anything w/ Vista will work for his needs.
But oh well, get the money first, THEN Wetpaint and I will help ya out.
