Vista Ultimate/ Gaming vs. Multi-tasking

I think its about time Microsoft thought about how people actually use PC's
if im going to play some games (like Battlefield 2142 or halo 3 or Doom 3) Im
not going to be writing a spreadsheet in the background. Im not going to want
a bling desktop that consumes 500mb or ram im going to want the game to run
and run smoothly, Im going to want backward compatibility so the games I
bought 6 years ago that run on directx 6-7-8-9 to work. why not have a
seperate boot mode that will optimize system performance to run games and not
load a whole pile of crap that under normal circumstances I dont use anyways.
Basically a Windows Vista Gaming boot mode. It takes 30 seconds to reboot
anyways (max) and especially considering the number of times a process in the
background has thrown an error or popup that disrupted my gaming experience.
now I know that I could just use an Xbox or PS but games are built for
computers therefore it should be possible to get a decent game play
experience.. I am running a P4-3.2HT - 1G of ram - 600G of HD space and a
512meg PCI-E graphics card. running XP games are relatively fast but vista
what a joke. If only there where the selection available for Linux or a lower
price tag on Macs cuz I am so not impressed with vista.. I remember windows
3.1 most games back then you would boot from the game disk to optimize
resources. I think its time to bring this practice back.
