Let's make a list of why Windows sucks
_LiquidOxygen:
I dread to think what this will be like on computers with more than one processor. I'll bet that all of the processors will have to take this resource drain too.
SiMuLaCrUm:
Halo doesn't run too bad on my 1.8 ghz AMD Sempron, and it really doesn't hang over too much after running. It's 3DS Max, using the Mental Ray renderer that hogs a lot of CPU work that could be cut in half easily on a dual core. Games are really not all that bad on Windows, if you have a good enough system.
Macrules:
those PS2 emulators are crap on even the niceset machines. max out at 5fps
Aloone_Jonez:
Emulation is very inefficient, you need a host machine that's typically >10 times as powerful as the one you're emulating. Look at the specification for the PS2 and you'll see that modern PCs are still not powerful enough to emulate it at a reasonable speed,
_LiquidOxygen:
Another fault with Windows to add to this list. Just have a look at the thread '"Security" update causes IE6 to crash'. Microsoft have sunk to a new low. No wonder some people are choosing to give Windows to the flames and go for an alternate system instead when it comes to security, cost and stability.
