Ne znam šta čekaju s WDM driverima...

Da, ne kužim u čemu je stvar...
I da, ovaj Instal Manager je prilično dobra stvar. Baš ono, za lijenčine. Kljik, kljik i gotovo

[pinsla]

Zanimljivi linkovi i recenzije. Čini se kako obe viste stoje uz rame XP-u kad je COD2 i Company of Heroes u pitanju! Ljepo moram priznat. Svakako dobar pomak s obzirom da je ovo novi početak.

Šta se tiče OpenGL, nađeni su neki tragovi i u drajverima za XP (7.1), nisu još u funkciji ali je JAKO moguće da ATI pritisne performanse (Nvidiu) i na tom polju! : goood :

Da li se nekome neće pokrenut ovaj Control Center? Kliknem na njega, u procesima se pojavi CLI.exe i nakon sekundu zatvori.

Valjda se kolje sa frameworkom...čuo sam da je nekima prošljakalo tek kad su imali sve sve verzije instalirane na računalu

A da sad, taman posla...
