I have noticed repaint delay, mostly when I'm bored and goofing off. Bog the system down and then drag something across a complicated window. Has this ever been a 'problem' for me? Absolutely not. Did I notice that Vista doesn't do it any more? Nope, didn't even notice. Maybe I haven't been bored enough lately.... ----------------------------------------------------------- Posted using Android Newsgroup Downloader: .... http://www.sb-software.com/android -----------------------------------------------------------

This is a kind of problem with xp you might not notice was fixed in Vista until someone pointed it out to you. I find the fact that you don't care they fixed and updated something interesting though...

My thoughts are: 1) Tearing and/or Repaint delay was never a major problem with XP 2) The absence of tearing/repaint delay is not a 'major' benefit of Vista 3) There are fairly simple solutions to the problem The problem we keep getting back to is the difficulty in determining those ten significant reasons to upgrade from XP to Vista. I think it was Lang who put the switch from GDI to the GPU as his #1 point on his list and that's what kicked off my participation in this thread, and I'm still unclear as to what benefits we have gained from the change. ----------------------------------------------------------- Posted using Android Newsgroup Downloader: .... http://www.sb-software.com/android -----------------------------------------------------------

What do other peoples perspective on what benefits them have to do with your opinions with Vista? If someone wants to spend top dollar on a new machine ONLY to obtain Vista, ONLY to get rid of tearing then what's it to you? You keep trying to address individual problems (tearing) as a top ten list to upgrade to vista. There are already plenty of threads regarding that topic. Why don't you go read them? |
