    The Vista Excuse.

    I guess I'll be the first person to use the 'Windows 7' excuse.

    I can't AAA easy 9s on Win7, what a bummer.
    WinXP partition, I guess your coming back. At least I'll tell myself I'll do better with XP.

        I play Vista and seem to do just fine. XP may run smoother, but playing wise it doesnt bother me. I've never been on Windows 7 though.

              It's not the OS. Your computer must not be able to handle the OS and that's not the OS's fault. I say this every time somebody blames it on their OS. I've bench marked XP, Vista, and 7 and my computer runs each of them equally, because I have a computer that can handle them, or you're just using it as an excuse for sucking.

                That's what I believe most people do. I've played on Mac, Vista, and XP. They all had the same performance for FFR. I don't know if I just got lucky or not. But I think people just blame their computer when it's the user themself. Sometimes it can be the internet connection. I used to have a bad connection and FFR lagged a bit.

                I have Vista and it works like a normal computer with no lag in FFR or any other flash games. I'm happy to have this computer.

                        People always will blame things on ANYTHING but themselves when it comes to them not being able to do something they want to, weather it be lag, their computer, someone talking while they are playing, whatever it is. So long as it isn't THEIR fault, it is all good.

                        People will always blame things on others, it is just in our nature to do so, I should know, I do it quite a lot.

                        As far as Vista itself goes, it's processing speeds may be SLIGHTLY hindered...but not enough to lag on a flash game. That is all in your ISP, or the size of the browser you are using. Also, if you feel that lag is such an issue, try FFR 100% lag free by opening up Mozilla firefox, and going to: The direct Shockwave flash object
