Yeah EA fail at life, BIG TIME! I just downloaded a copy of the new Need For Speed Carbon demo, happily installed it on vista, and when I went to start it, it crashed. Funny thing is that I tried it on another box running RC1, thinking it was my version of Vista doing it and it STILL crashed. But it works fine on XP, very interesting considering NFS Most Wanted works FINE on Vista. So the question of the day is, where did EA screw the pooch and will they fix it before the official game is released? Because if they don't, they sure as hell aren't going to get a Games for Windows badge on their box.
Good job EA, lets actually try to make the game usable before we release, the practice of releasing bug ridden games with subsequent 500 MB patches (*cough* BF2 *cough*) is getting a little bit tiring.
