The OS on any system has to be stable and let me run the programs I want to run, Nothing more, Its generally only Mac heads that get all wet over their OS, Its like a car twerp raving about their tires. The question is...Does it do its job? Yes?, Good, then shut up about it. BAHAHAHA! Metla - once again you have made my day! :D :D :D |

| 519549 | 2007-01-29 05:38:00 | Vista is rather worrying. Here's a company with a reputation for writing software with major security flaws who've decided to do a major rewrite of their TCP stack - a rather important part of the system, both functionality & security wise. What's so great about Aero? It's just eye-candy. If you want eye-candy, just get fluxbox on Linux, it uses much less resources, is easy to change, and awesome looking, here's some pictures: www.boxwhore.org www.boxwhore.org (This one looks exactly the same as Aero imo, maybe better.) www.boxwhore.org www.boxwhore.org Microsoft hasn't even realised the power of multiple "Desktops". Driver revocation - Microsoft will now have the power in Vista to revoke a drivers signature wich will make the driver/hardware cease to function. That's rather scary, right? Then there's the bit about Vista not playing "premium/comercial" content if your hardware doesn't have specific content protection mechanisms. I could go on and on. But what's the point? All I really need to say is: By using Windows Vista you're not getting would you should be able to get out of your hardware, instead you're hardware is being used to encrypt data being sent to/from your video/sound card so YOU can't mod/emulate it. Freedom? 'sif, you're paying for a jail for your hardware. That looks pretty primitive compared to vistas GUI. The aeros GUI goes a fade and blur in the background, which is what uses up lots of resources. If you buy vista home basic you don't even get the Aero GUI, so I would rather have XP or win 2000 than a crippled vista interface. |

Check out Beryl or Compiz if you want similar special(useless) effects. upload.wikimedia.org |

| 519551 | 2007-01-29 06:54:00 | I just heard from TV3 News that NZ is going to be the first country in the world to have Vista?? | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
| 519552 | 2007-01-29 07:17:00 | qazwsxokmijn, that's correct, considering we're the first (major?)country to get to the 30th first. | byte (11156) | ||
| 519553 | 2007-01-29 07:29:00 | Maybe someone should start a poll to see how many people are going to buy vista. Vista isnt that bad it has less flaws than xp pro i have 70 updates for xp pro due to flaws found over the past year or so. | Hitech (9024) | ||

I think is is a bit of an improvement, but is it really worth rushing out to buy a full priced retail copy on its launch date? I'll probably buy an OEM copy when I build a new PC. |
