Well this I didn't expect at all!!!
The HP BlackBird that has been talked about as the gaming PC to have, has gotten a 'not so good' rating from MaximumPC. They gave it a 7/10 for two reasons, one is because Vista kills the game performance in the system, and two the slower ATI cards. This is just another black eye for Vista, which was trumpeted as a game friendly OS. I'm sure that the graphics cards have to take some of the blame, but when these guys are recommending the XPS systems (which has XP) over a Vista system that was promised to kick all forms of ass, that's not good. I'm curious how this system would have performed had it ran Windows XP.
To quote MaximumPC..... "It's just faster."
