this is crap, tried to login and not working, but dont see the point stick with xp.
xp is crap, stick with windows me
windows me is crap stick with win2k
win2k is crap, stick with win3.1
yay!, i rule, iam sooo leeet, can you be
leet like me?
must be a brain surgeon convention in town.
someone whas comparing vista (software) here with a car a little while ago, can we also
have a second car for free if we buy one ?
it would appear that "who?" is a retard.
windows me was less than a hassle than windows vista
vista one year on and it still in retail beta stage.
i refuse to move to vista
till they release sp1, and the sp1 build is cracked.
lol at the thought of
paying for an os.
we had to use windows 95 without having the opportunity of getting used to windows 3.1.
i hate this attitude of microsoft. they release a new version of windows just before we
get used to it. this goes on on on this way.
vista rock best os ever !!!! thanks ms for another steller release.
hey vista bashers don't like it? don't use it. stfu and move on bwaaaaaaaaaaaa
yes jjweeks, move on to win7.
currently on linux
really it all comes down to what ur comfortable with. i like windows vista because i
never had a problem with it since day one!
i like the look and feel of it vs
xp even though xp runs slightly faster.
if you bought a car that didn't perform well and was prohibitively expensive in
terms of resources and maintenance, would taking another for free not be twice as
difficult to maintain?
when we buy computers with matched, "factory" installed
software, we don't have any problems.
the computer will last for years. the
software is involuntarily "upgraded" after a few years, and incompatibilities arise.
if one desires cutting edge capability for new "bling", a hardware upgrade is
inevitable.
if that upgrade is a new box, it will come with newer software for
which it was designed and there will usually be no glitches.
all of that said, if
i bought a new system and had nothing but headaches with it, i wouldn't care whether the
problem was software or hardware, you couldn't give me another one like it, because i
would have too much irritation trying to keep two lemons running.
run your car (or
computer) until it gives you too much trouble, or you have to replace it, meanwhile paying
to what consumers are syaing, then make an educated guess. caveat emptor!
and for
all you haters and snobs out there,on both sides of m$ bitching, piss off.
"comsumers are saying" - that should take care of the typo cheapshot- ridicule often
comes in lieu of reason.
"consumers" - fingers having trouble reasoning with keyboard today
does calling me a "retard" give your petty little life some meaning? lol
free vista
