MrTriggerHappy Caldari Interstellar eXodus R0ADKILL	Posted - 2007.01.31 08:56:00 - [1] Edited by: MrTriggerHappy on 31/01/2007 08:54:06 Hmm yeah I have to concur with the OP.. The only thing I like about Vista is the pretty pictures of that AERO interface..its nice, seriously. DX10.. well there's very few games at the moment which have it.. but again I really only play eve on the PC and for anything else.. I have my 360. There's no real reason to upgrade, Microsoft are only out to please the fat cats at the media stuido's with DRM, which is fair enough. But the one thing that really worries me about it. is how they do it. Microsoft can actually turn off a bit of hardware if they find your using it for illegal use! It may be nice and pretty.. but I can use Linux.. I do use linux and maybe one day Mac OSX wil go more main stream, so I have alternatives EDIT: There already is a way to get Mac OSX onto your PC.. but its not without a "Song and Dance" routine, nor is it supported by mac.. The Image hoster removed my siggy.. it'll be back on the weekend!! My Comments in no way reflect my corp or alliance

MrTriggerHappy Caldari Interstellar eXodus R0ADKILL	Posted - 2007.02.01 15:20:00 - [3] Originally by: SavageThrash The day will come when everyone buys vista. Thats the truth of it all. You may not buy it for 6 months, a year of even 2 years but once your new programs lose support for xp and vista is the only way to go then it will be the new baseline os and microsoft knows that and all the software company's know that. A few of you may switch to linux but wouldn't it be more hassle to get some windows specfic program to work on it? Wrong, I will never need to buy Vista, if new releases of the programs come out and I need vista to use them.. well essentially I wont. If I dont want the supposed "Hassle" of getting programs to work on linux.. I have one option left to which virtually can do everything except play eve. What is this option, you may ask? It's called a mac! Actually there's a way you can install Mac OSX onto an X86 platform.. google for it! -------------------------------- The Image hoster removed my siggy.. it'll be back on the weekend!!

MrTriggerHappy Caldari Interstellar eXodus R0ADKILL	Posted - 2007.02.01 15:41:00 - [4] Originally by: Frezik Originally by: Vladimir Ilych That is my experience. If you haven't used it please be quiet. I don't need to use it to see how the DRM implementation makes the whole deal fundamentally flawed. I also don't need to use it to see that there are few benefits to using it over XP. Originally by: Vladimir Ilych oh and it boots faster than XP which runs on the same system All Windows versions tend to be fast on startup when you're dealing with a newly installed system. They slow down as more crud gets installed. Windows has always handled entropy buildup very poorly. You can't compare a new Vista installation and compare it to a two-year-old XP installation. Wait till Vista has had time for entropy to set in. Maybe it will still be faster, maybe it won't, but you can't say right now. Yup, dont forget the number of patches XP has had over the years, this means more and more stuff for XP to start up and gradually decreases performance. Eventually the same will happen with Vista. -------------------------------- The Image hoster removed my siggy.. it'll be back on the weekend!! My Comments in no way reflect my corp or alliance
