Originally by: Imaldris I'm going to buy a new vista gameing computer when it goes live in the next few weeks.
Will I need to download a new EVE client?
Nope ... just copy the folder over to the new computer ( burn to DVD, copy, toggle the Read-Only bit or use a USB Transfer tool like SuperLink [ works, I tried ] )
Then start the client and continue as before.

Originally by: MrTriggerHappy Edited by: MrTriggerHappy on 17/01/2007 16:00:47 However since I need pretty much everything in the "ULTIMATE" package and I don't buy Pre made PC's i'll be expected to spend ú380 (give or take) on the Ultimate edition.
For most Home users ( that do need elevated file encryption, Remote Desktop and other bells ) Windows Vista Premium Home is enough ... and the upgrade will cost you only around 160 $US ( whatever that translates to in your local currency )
I've been using Vista Ultimate since mid Dec'06 and those additional features ( apart remote desktop ) are of no use during day to day use.

Originally by: D'onryu Shoqui someone really thinks vista will be more secure than linux? your in for a shock if you think vista is going to be anywhere near "relatively safe" until probably service pack 2
which is why you will find alot of people wont buy it until there has been atleast 1 service pack , they have previous experience of buying an ms os near the release date 
Let's define "safe" or "secure" here ...
Working in an enterprise environment that basically comes down to ...
- Educating employee's to not wildly click "Yeah" anytime something pops up on the screen - Locking down user rights and not giving them admin access. - Have a firewall somewhere in between the user and the internet - Run good AV software. - Windows Update or WSUS client ( for local WSUS servers )
I am sick and tired of people treating an OS being insecure. It's not the OS that is insecure these days it's the users just trusting everything and installing toolbars here and there.
A very high percentage of incidents are not due to OS being "open" but due to users being logged in as admin and then installing software of dubious origin which in turn leads to Bots, Worms etc being installed.
In Vista the UAC is nice ... it does not presume you are admin nor does it give you the rights of one ... but if you right-click the shortcut you can "Run as Administrator" and avoid it.
Reading some other stuff like "DLL Hell" makes me purely laugh. It's a thing of the past since the introduction of .Net 1.0, GAC, ILMerge and all that. And saying that nobody codes in .Net is even more laughworthy ... just look at the third part tools like EVEMon etc ... those ARE written in .Net.
And I have to agree with a previous poster ... reading about something on the net and repeating it like a nice parrot without actually knowing what you talk about sure does make you look like an Ares.
And to the whole MS vs Linux stuff I just want to add the following ... if you have the same percentage of MS OS Users poke sticks at Linux to find bugs/holes/flaws etc as you have Linux users poke MS OS's ... I do not think you would have time to actually use Linux because you would be occupied compiling the kernel every single day a few times.

At current exchange rates $160 is a little more than ú80, however Microsoft's price for Vista Premium Home in the UK is more like ú130. Apparently they aren't using such a ****ty exchange rate to increase their profit, it is for our protection in some way they dont define properly
Upgrade ( from eligible MS OS's ) or Full ?
And if Upgrade ... Wowzers
