What do you all think about the new windows thats coming out soon (i think next year). I saw some screen shots and it looks okay, plus they finaly updated IE for this windows update.

veltonvelton · October 13, 2006, 07:24:14 PM

Heh I already use Vista. ur so behind.

Mad Klown · October 13, 2006, 07:28:12 PM

Would seem so.

ANy way what you think of it. is it worth it?

It's shit, has DRM built in at the kernel level, the aero interface is retardedly bloated (my computer isn't even close to being able to run aero but I can emulate it smoothly on XP with 3rd party programs fine) and they're trying to drop GDI (the interface alot of common programs use to draw their windows to the screen)

The DRM thing is gonna be insane. MS is siding with MPAA and the RIAA, and if they have their way, we will have to buy every song and movie, once for each of our protable players, once for each of our computers, and once for the disc players in the house. By including HDCP (etc.) in the internals of the OS, Microsoft gives these corporations the power to choose when, where, and how we listen and watch WHAT WE ALREADY BOUGHT AND PAID FOR.

With all the "bling bling" turned off, it's basically XP :/

Yeah, I ain't upgrading.

SexualBubblegumX · October 14, 2006, 12:14:29 AM

I hate Win XP, screw vistas.

Dragonfly · October 14, 2006, 08:11:29 AM

I'm even amazed I actually ever got XP, I usually use Linux anyway, but for gaming and things I can't run with Linux I use WinXP, Usually I'd stick with 98, but my mother needs XP so -.-

WinXP is most compatible Mac is the best for games (i tinks) andn vista is good for a good pc. My Vista looks amazing with everything turned on, and It works as smooth as a babys ass (I know, I just touched one)

You're clearly a noob and don't know what you're doing. MACS are the best for games? Blizzard was exaggerating yeah, but from a clean install, Vista can take up 10GB.

Aside from visuals (which are universally regarded as a massive bloat), it has nothing extra going for it. It's basically a downgrade from XP; it does the same but it's slower, less efficient, is trying to drop established interfaces for programs and has DRM right to the core :/

The only way they're gonna get computer users who actually know a thing or two about what they're doing to use Vista is when newer games start to come out which use DirectX10, which is a Vista exclusive.

okok, fine, but which do you think is best for playing the new game 'assassin's creed'? It looks amazing, the graphics, the freedom, Ive seen the trailer and it looked like a real movie!

Technically win2k is the best, as it's the leanest windows that uses the much NT kernel. I use XP as the extra ram usage is minimal and I use programs that require XP.

SexualBubblegumX · October 14, 2006, 04:13:16 PM

Bleh..... If I could get away with it I'd still be using Windows 95. Because Windows 95 owns EVERYTHING! (Except Thor)

Roph · October 14, 2006, 04:48:59 PM

Not really, it's hardly very stable. Even your CD drive having trouble reading a CD can crash the OS.

Dalton · October 14, 2006, 10:32:34 PM

I'm totally gonna have 2 seperate computers. One with XP and one with Vista. Vista because I can get Halo 2 and destroy teh Xbox Live players who use the Xbox, because they think the Xbox controller OWNS the mouse and keyboard.

Zeriab · October 15, 2006, 12:16:09 AM

I use Windows XP because I use some WinXP based programs.
I also use linux for the same reason as why I use WinXP.

I probably will use Windows Vista though I will most certainly use it for a very short while if it sucks as much as Windows ME.
Well... I most likely will use it because of games.

Oh, and one thing. Copy protection can be circumvented.
If it is too troublesome or I "can't" do it at that moment I simply won't by the product. (Or get a refund)

Wow, I've seen a lot of weird things before, but I'm scared to ask where you got that.
