Screen tearing is a major problem with XP. Just because you don't see it,
doesn't mean it doesn't exist. 3D has nothing to do with it. If XP was
rendered the same way then the same problem would be relieved. However,
that would be overkill. So what's wrong with beefing things up a little?
You had that one pegged right, not once have I ever noticed a screen
tearing
issue in XP. Can you give me an example of where this would be noticable
(web
browsing, video playback, ???). Give me a simple test and I will try it on
my
XP box and then on my Vista box and see if there is a difference.
Even so, can't tearing be solved by simple double-buffering that video
cards
have been doing for the past decade? This sounds like a minor tweak.
I have nothing against beefing up the graphics pipeline, I just fail to
see
how it is a major selling point of Vista. To me, it looks more-or-less
identical to XP, but with transparent window frames.
