So is Windows 7 the best OS for gaming? Based on the results we?ve just looked at, I?d have to say ?yes?. Windows 7 delivers the best combination of features and game performance of any OS tested today. From what I?ve seen so far, it?s also just as stable as Windows XP and Vista and seems more responsive. The addition of gestures and the new taskbar really push Windows 7 over the top.
Gamers reluctant to upgrade from Windows XP fear not. You finally have a reason to upgrade. If I was running Windows Vista with Service Pack 2 though, I wouldn?t be in a rush to pick up Windows 7. It?s definitely an improvement over Vista, but unless you plan on running SLI or CrossFire, it?s probably not worth Microsoft?s asking price. After all, it is fundamentally just a highly polished extension of Vista. Instead I?d spend that money on a better graphics card or CPU.
