Why have you deleted the Vista category? We had it separate from the normal Windows category because the games for Vista typically won't work on previous versions of Windows. --[[User:DrBob|DrBob]] ([[User_talk:DrBob|talk]]) 23:59, 19 March 2009 (UTC) | Why have you deleted the Vista category?

:Initially it seemed like Vista-only games were becoming a reality (especially since both Games for Windows launch titles required it) which is why I made that category, but two years on this simply hasn't happened. Instead the division has shifted to DirectX 10, with OS incompatibility being an inevitable side-effect. With Vista SP1 gaining increasing acceptance and 7 pushing XP out of the market entirely upon its arrival (even for netbooks) this isn't going to be as much of an issue as it seemed back in 2007. For this reason I feel a category division is no longer necessary.

== Weclome back == | |||
Welcome back! :) I had started to think you were gone forever. As you have probably seen there's a lot to catch up on. If you're going to be be regularly active again you might want to attend the [http://www.abxy.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=27116 March 27 meeting] if you can; several significant changes to the site are scheduled to be decided at this meeting. Anyway, it's good to have you back. :) --[[User:Garrett|Garrett]] ([[User talk:Garrett|talk]]) 10:31, 13 March 2010 (UTC) | |||
