A fool and his $ are soon parted (windoz vista)
Yeah. so it just came out, probably runs about 4 apps.. including all those quality window applications .
It has almost police-state control of your computer.. Apparently people have short memories... remember the whole vista disabling firewalls/virus detection if your copy isnt legit? Even if that isnt the case, its an idea that shows the backhanded bullshit route MS is taking to protect their monopoly.
For anywhere from 100-500$ you can get an OS that will limit you to 3 installs. Great if you have to reinstall because you want to set up linux. Also great because the flakiness of any new OS will beg for a reinstall once or twice.
There is also the insane HW requirements. I really want an OS that requires almost as much processing power as OBLIVION. Low over-head OS (Can I have it?)
ok, so im da mac mod. I didnt have a porblem with XP. but vista (especially right now)... its just retarded.

OH GOD DAMNIT NOW LOOK AT THAT. IceWM is not IceWMV, YOU JUST GAVE IT TO MICROSOFT THOUGH BY ADDING THAT V, FUCKING COPIERS.Orange_Ribbon wrote:I like the free chess game they included. Honestly though the only interesting new feature (? not sure if it was in XP Pro ?) is the searching in the menu just by typing. Other than that, it just seams silly. Maybe it is because I like minimal OS (hello IceWMV, or Windows 98se)
