Available with BumperCars Alpha 1.0 and above. This was my first official BumperCars map, before Pyramids. The map is set within Xen, as the name implies. There are 4 power-ups in the map. Easy to get, hard to hold onto. Death can be aquired by falling off or falling into the Xen liquid. Map Status - Completed

Im going with Larchy, flip a coin. Windows 7 is really just Vista with some changes that make vista much better (like the ribbon interface). But windows 7 could take a while to be released.
That Zune story is hilarious and a good reason to stay away from it.
Personally, I would stick with XP. There are two reasons to go with Vista 64 that aren't canceled out by the negatives: Ridiculous amounts of RAM and a handful of shiny DX10 effects. If I bought Vista, it wouldn't be because of a convincing feature list, it would be because it's the only option available for a bunch of high-end hardware uses. That doesn't feel right.
But my view of Microsoft products might be biased, no matter how good (rather "not-bad") they are. Follow your heart, Scarlett!
There is no reason for the 32bit version of Vista to exist. If you want to go with Vista, get 64bit or nothing.
Windows7 will be out this autumn, but whether you want to wait or not is down to you. Functionally there is nothing XP cannot do - RAM handicaps aside, although that makes zero difference for anything you'll be doing (if you were using anything that could remotely benefit from more than 2GB of RAM then you'd know about it and wouldn't be asking).
So flip a coin, it really doesn't matter one way or the other.
I want to get Vista 64 bit.. I have been holding off because for a while there drivers were a major issue. I have had a 64 bit dual core for some time now.. and been stuck in 32 bit windows VP.
I got my son Halo2 for the PC and it wont run on my machine, but on his new laptop with vista it runs great.. read the box and found out it requires Vista. So I see that being the new standard. I would go with Vista over the Zune.
I should probably reply later, but I'm currently waiting for my parts to come in...
I ordered Vista Ultimate 64 bit edition and an AMD quad core (true quad core) processor. I had the option to wait for windows 7, but I have a feeling there will be an upgrade option for Vista owners. I know for a fact that Vista Ultimate 64 bit has 99% compatibility with most games and programs out there. -This is mainly because of it's 32 bit emulator. But for drivers of course, you have to have the 64 bit version of those. The other reason I went with the 64 version is because I'll be having 8 GB of RAM, and 32 bit editions max out on 4 GB, so this was necessary. Plus, Things just run faster in 64 bit edition. The only down side I've read is the 1% of programs (16 bit programs won't run at all) that may not work. BTW, all Valve games work (and mods).
I would go with Vista because it is actually more sustainable in the 64 bit version than it's XP counterpart. -Meaning, more programs will work on Vista 64 than they will with XP 64. Also, They will stop selling new copies of XP in February (I think) and support will end for it in January 2010.
But I can get back to you guys when I do get my new desktop up and running and actually give you my experienced answer.
So the question is should you stick to Windows XP and wait for Windows 7 or buy Vista Ultimate now?
I'd probably stick with Windows XP, there isn't much point of getting Vista unless you want Dirextx10 now. I must also mention that I believe Vista handles 2 cores better than XP, not sure about 4 though.
