Heh, my dad did it all for me, so I don't have to know, ^^;

Hazarath · Feb 11, 2007 3:15 PM

As soon as I can, I'll post a link that has a text document, explaining all the faults in said OS. There's a HUGE amount of problems with that OS... I prefer to run Windows 3.11 for Workgroups. x.x

Spyrorocks · Feb 11, 2007 5:33 PM

I will not upgrade to windows vista. I dont really care how much it costs, its just i like my windows xp thats what i grown up with.

Paranoia · Feb 11, 2007 8:07 PM

I had Vista set up today, and I'm using it now. I like it. It's a lot different though.

Spyrorocks · Feb 11, 2007 9:54 PM

Should be called "Windows OS X".

Complete copy of Mac os x.

If i get a new pc, i will NEVER install vista on it.

Klone · Feb 11, 2007 10:12 PM

Well said Spyrorocks!! If I had a choice between Vista and XP, I'd go for XP!!

Zekira Drake · Feb 12, 2007 10:59 AM

Ž Â· Darn it, why did I even bother coming in here, if I am among the 'others' group of having such a low quality computer???? T_T Now I almost shouted all the way across this room complaining about my stupid computer...

Theory · Feb 12, 2007 1:53 PM

I ain't downlaoding Vista, says that It lacks sercurity.

DragonspiritPT · Feb 12, 2007 7:34 PM

I'm gonna try Vista, but my graphic card can't handle the Aero Glass effects... Also I'm buying more 512 mb of ram.
Yes, the Windows XP is good... BUT they will stop supporting it, you know. As you know, Windows XP DOESN't support DirectX 10 (besides you need a Geforce from the 8 serie, I think it's about 700â‚¬, and with this money I would buy a PS3 and 2 or 3 games!!!!!)
The PC games are "crap"... now, games developers "ask" for a godlike pc, and nobody can buy a godlike pc. The only game I play in the computer it's Unreal Tournament and I play it online.
My PS2 is awsome for games; and I will get a PS3 in a year or two.

P.S. Hey Zekira, what's up with your pc?

LordCrump10 · Feb 12, 2007 11:06 PM

A recent news report said that because of Vista's large security, it's hard to download certain games. I'll probably hold off until I get my new laptop (my old one has seen its day) in the fall.

Spyrorocks · Feb 12, 2007 11:47 PM

Why would i need directx 10? I cant think of any reasons.

Klone · Feb 13, 2007 1:05 AM

cos Bill Gates decided to make everything 10 times more complicated when he proposed the idea of Vista. I hate it.

KingPlayerPDX · Feb 13, 2007 1:07 AM

I choose Vista bt I don't know why.

Spyrorocks · Feb 13, 2007 1:45 AM

So your choosing something you have no knowledge of?

Zekira Drake · Feb 13, 2007 12:12 PM

So your choosing something you have no knowledge of?

I also have to ask this question. I don't recommend you try out something that you don't even have an idea of. I myself don't even memorize Windows XP. (but I use it several times)

To the one who asked what's up with my computer: You gotta hate it. It's got 128 MB RAM, 64 MB Vid Card, is friggin' Pentium 3 and is friggin' 9 years old. My parents don't want to buy me even a simple Pentium 4 CPU because they say that "I don't even use it for important purposes". I'd like to counter that question if my parents weren't that 'powerful': "Then what was the purpose of Microsoft having a new OS, if they're purpose of it is for more entertainment?". Seriously, don't you agree?

KingPlayerPDX · Feb 13, 2007 2:20 PM

Not that I know of. But I think Windows XP is better.
Oh I don't know what to choose it's all just systems of Windows anyways.

Hazarath · Feb 13, 2007 8:46 PM

Finally, I found it... if you go to Vista, here's what you'll be dealing with... heh, enjoy it. I'll stick with Linux/XP.

Cost Analysis of Windows Vista Content Protection

[In other words, what Windows sacrificed for protection of copy writes, etc.]

I'll let the document sum it up into one sentence:

The Vista Content Protection specification could very well constitute the longest suicide note in history.

Stormy · Feb 13, 2007 9:27 PM

I honestly don't see what people think is so bad about it. It's nothing that special, but I don't hate it like some people seem to.

Spyrorocks · Feb 14, 2007 12:45 AM

People hate it because of what they did to it. Now, windows xp will get no support (Not that i have ever used any of their tech support). Vista is simply too much of a copy of mac os x.

Like Vista? BUY A MAC!

KingPlayerPDX · Feb 14, 2007 12:47 AM

Fine I'll buy a MAC sheesh!
No offense.

I get confused of choosing anyway!

Um, no. Fanboys.... roll

LordCrump10 · Feb 14, 2007 2:10 AM

I have a Macbook, but due to certain problems with files I uploaded, my Macbook isn't good for anything other than doing work on Microsoft Office. I am getting a new laptop, so I think I'll chose a Dell this time.

Any suggestions?

Spyrorocks · Feb 14, 2007 2:49 AM

Ironic, isnt it? Mac only being useful to HIR for Microsoft Office....

SamSam · Feb 16, 2007 1:00 PM

I prefer XP more than Vista because it's use less requirement, Vista it's have big icons (or something) I don't like it as well as 3D browser.
Another one I have change my Theme to purplish^^
