Gonna have to install Vista

Good old Microsoft. In order for the new games to work well, they need
DirectX 10. Oh well, I knew it would be forced upon me eventually.

To achieve the full performance of DirectX 10, you'll need to
have a video card that supports DirectX 10, such as:

You should also install the latest DirectX files:

My oh my. It's amazing how you have time for your 3 companies, run 10 miles
a day, leap tall buildings, troll all day long, play computer games, and
preach Ubuntu. So after a year or more of trolling this group, you've saved
up enough euros to purchase Vista?

I have Vista sitting on a shelf. After I buy a new nVidia graphics card
and a larger hard drive, Vista will be installed so I can play Devil May
Cry 4 with Directx 10. I have plenty of euros. Next stupid question?

I don't do that anymore. Now I swim.

Never did that. Of course you know that but that won't stop you being lying.

You, Frank, "the" and Spanky are the trolls here.

So? You don't?

Um, Ubuntu isn't a religion but an operating system.

See my other post. You can apologize for lying anytime you want.
