Save it as .jpg instead.
That file type is better for that type of picture.

Right now it looks sucky. Lol

It's the next version of windows and pro users hate it and it's still in beta and you get alot of people just installing vista skins on XP and saying the're on vista and they think it looks cool.

I use XP Pro SP2 ~

Post by: Roph on September 13, 2006, 01:11:04 AM
Meh, windows is fine. Most problems are caused by 3rd party drivers or software :/, and you don't see so many of these on other systems because they're nowhere as near as popular and so the error count is so much lower.

"Macs / Linux / etc don't get viruses!" - Nobody really botheres writing viruses for macs or linux :/

A windows user with some moderate sense doesn't get viruses. I don't use any anti-virus or adware scanner or anything of the like. All that protects me is my hardware firewall (though with perhaps the most common ports (80,25,21,8000) forwarded to me though) and my common sense.

Internet explorer, lol.

I see no advantage to using linux and most definately to using a mac.
Title: Re: What OS do you use?

Title: Re: What OS do you use?
Post by: Roph on September 14, 2006, 01:42:15 AM
If you're going to use a pre-XP version I'd suggest go for Windows 2000 definately. or at least 98SE. 2000 Is miles better as for stability thanks to them switching to the NT kernel.
Title: Re: What OS do you use?
Post by: Malson on September 15, 2006, 12:13:26 AM
95 is definitely NOT the best version in terms of features and freedoms, but if that's your preference then so be it. It's definitely simpler than XP, I'll give you that.

Title: Re: What OS do you use?
Post by: Roph on September 28, 2006, 09:05:17 AM
Probably wikipedia.

I imagine lots of computer users who know what they're doing are going to stay on XP. Windows Vista has DRM built in from the ground up and they're trying to move away from the GDI method of drawing the screen (so basically any program that skins itself won't work on vista until it's updated for it).

Aero requires a hell of alot more CPU and RAM than say Windowblinds 5 / WindowFX emulating it.

Maybe once people start to release patches etc I'll try it out.

Well if you're after a flavour of linux, Ubuntu is the obvious choice.

Apart from that I wouldn't really recommend anything else. I mean, yeah you could get another free OS up and running, wow, but then you're not going to have much to do on it.
Title: Re: What OS do you use?

Title: Re: What OS do you use?
Post by: Bigoron_Link on November 30, 2006, 03:45:16 PM
 I primarily use Windows XP and SuSE 10.1 (Linux), but I also have on my machine Ubuntu 6.10, Mepis, Fedora Core 5, and some version of Mandriva.

Yeah...I know, I gotta lot of Linux Os's Dual booted on one computer. Probably cause I went through this stage of wanting to try out every single distro of linux, and because I have two harddrives...

Anyways, I would reccomend either Ubuntu or SuSE 10 or 10.1 to someone who hasn't used Linux before. SuSE is great for easily configuring and installing, and ubuntu is great with everything, once you get passed the slightly steep (but fun  ;D) learning curve.

i would say its the best, unless youre one of those that wants their PC to be as different as possible to the point of replacing XP with a less useful and rather pointless new OS.

or not, i havent decided on my opinion yet
Title: Re: What OS do you use?
Post by: Roph on May 08, 2008, 06:01:39 PM
Honestly, people who use vista 64 SOLELY in order to have 4 gigs of ram are.. stupid.

If you put 4 gigs of memory into your XP system, it will recognise around 3.3 to 3.5 gigs maybe, give or take a little (depends on various things including graphics card).

XP's base memory requirement is 128MB (or 64/96mb to push it), yet vista's is 1GB. Look at how much vista uses, just showing your goddamn desktop or to open notepad. It's insane.

So basically, any extra memory you get by having the extra from 3.3-3.5Gb in XP to 4GB in Vista is already stolen by the shitty bloated OS you're using. You have LESS memory available to you.

Vista 64 in order to use 4 gigs memory = ignorant/idiot.

If you're going to use that OS for more memory, at least use MORE than 4 gigs =x. But this is ignoring that even 2 gigs is more than enough for the vast majority of anything out there and more about bragging for your e-penis than for practicality.

There's a reason they're already hard at work on Vista's replacement, the same reason so very many people either choose to stay on XP, upgrade back to XP from vista, or insist on buying XP instead of vista  :)

At least MS had the sense to listen to their customer base and increase the lifetime of XP in their product line till 2014.
Title: Re: What OS do you use?
Post by: veltonvelton on May 08, 2008, 06:16:20 PM
i have 4 gigs on my XP rig and it says 3.9 which is not too far off, besides is always slightlly wrong.

i have vista and ive stripped it down on both my PCs i have it installed on.
i removed features like Superfetch and the like, stuff that isnt necessary for games PCs
