Vista - now with Poker!
Microsoft Adds Poker to Vista
New Operating System Has No-Limit Hold'em Poker Perhaps the clearest sign to date that poker has reached the mainstream is the addition of no-limit hold’em poker into the newest Microsoft operating software. During the recent launch of Microsoft Vista, Bill Gates was quoted saying, “Up in Ultimate, we’ll even have a hold’em [poker] game.” Microsoft Vista Ultimate is the highest-end edition of the new operating system. With poker embedded into software that will ultimately power almost all of the world’s personal computers, some have speculated that Microsoft is slowly positioning itself for the eventual entry into the massive online poker market. Such a move would certainly shake up the industry. Is anyone on 2p2 properly BR'd to play BG heads up???
