Even if it does look pretty, still not sure if I want to make the jump to vista yet, at least not until i get a decent quad core computer.

Intresting... Surely I'll try it out and of course a nicely OC'ed Dual Core surely will make it perform nicely as well... Hopefully

Umm... You do realize that you can dual boot Vista and XP right? So there's no "jump" required.
Thats what I'll be doing once I get un-lazy. Dual boot XP64 and Vista ultimate for the dx10 games that actually are worth playing. Alan Wake definitely looks like one of those games.

Me too. And now I can't make the stupid thing stop defaulting to wanting to boot Vista when I power it on. Grr.

Just change the boot order in the bios! Change it back to your first harddrive, the one with xp, not the one with vista.

I bought a 3-way switch, and connected it to the power cables to my two drives. Whenever I need to boot with Vista, I just flip the switch and turn on the computer. Both XP and Vista were installed seperately, and I pretty much ghetto manage which drive is used when pc boots. In my case, I wanted to be completely sure there was no overlap when doing testing, and this worked out to be the quickest solution. In rare case the BIOS will complain about drive order when POSTing. This to me is a less of a nuisance than worrying that one OS would screw with the other. One downside could be that there is no file access between the two drives, but in my particular case, that was the goal.

Well, DX10 requires Vista. Looks like I'll be moving to Linux sooner than I thought
Honestly, I had written this title off as Vapourware a while ago. Good to see it might still see the light of day.
I'll have to get an Xbox 360

Wow, it's really great to hear this game is still alive. This thing really fell under my radar, I was excited about this game beginning of last year with the graphics and premise, hope they really nail the story...

If Microsoft just released an XP like version of Vista with DX 10 but without all the dumb new features nobody cares for, people would at least be content. I have two 320GB hard drives with all my stuff on them and I have a separate OS partition on each drive to boot to either XP or Vista using the motherboard's boot priority menu. Works well enough and I don't have to worry about install a boot menu in the MBR.

So, this game does not require DX10, but will be Vista only? Whiskey - Tango - Foxtrot....

Its not losing XP I don't like, its the running out and buying an entire OS for one game since everything else I have/want to get currently runs in xp. Ill get Vista when/ if companies start releasing vista only programs.
