I just wanted to show this b4 i say that i think windows can but will not make a OS (operating system) that uses minimum resources. Then still provide a high quality media. I mean what do you really expect out of your PC? I myself expect to see and hear it. If there is something that im missing out of my PC ,please let me know.
As far as spending $1500 on a prefab so you can play games with a constant 250fps(frames per second) and the most life-like sound that is out at the time, is a joke.I am not sure but i think i herd at some time, was that, your eye can not render over 60fps. they keep improving hardware ,or at least the numbers keep getting higher. Who needs it. I do under stand there r people out there that do use six or nine monitors, but they are making $200,000 a year using them. It would not surprise me at all that in 20 years we will be paying as much for a car as a PC, and the keyboard and mouse they wont even sell them anymore. we will just talk to "it" and it will listen.Just a prediction.
