Windows Vista

Re: Windows Vista

Vista isn't worth it if you are a gamer. If you want a good OS either stick with XP or get Linux.

Whatever you said after this doesn't even matter.

Re: Windows Vista

If you're saying the Linux isn't good for gaming, then you are kind of right. It just depends if you're setting a server up. Linux is good for gaming if you're setting up a server, but XP is better if you're just playing on them.

Re: Windows Vista

I fail to see how Linux is good for gaming when there aren't any game publishers that actually make games on Linux.

Servers are meant for everything, not just gaming...

Re: Windows Vista

My friend has vista, but hes running dual OS on his laptop so he can still play stuff like BF 2142.

Re: Windows Vista

1)well the vista for now is more like just a new OS, not ment for gaming yet becuase it is to new, people haven't developed games or many programs for it so it COULD be a good gaming OS but it isnt at the moment, so for you people bashing it don't bash it YET, after 3-4 months then............

2) Until they get more security Vista is like a defenseless puppy, for a professional hacker to hack it only takes like 15-20 mins, i've hacked it myself in about half an hour, i mean come on they have fake Vista server's so that people can run it, so far its gotten hacked so much it's ridiculous but i can't reallly judge since this isn't even SP1 or SP2 etc.

P.S. these are pros and cons. i'm not bashing it YET, i always give new OS's a chance(cept iMac OS's, Jesus they suck).......

[QUOTE=nforcer06164;1300723]Too bad the makers of the commerical that made fun of this conveniently ignored that it can be turned off?

[QUOTE]

I believe a direct quote from that commercial is something like "it can be turned off, but that would defeat the purpose entirely". Im not stupid, I know you can turn the option off. So no nforcer they did not "conveniently ignore" that the option can be turned off.

MapleStory isn't intrusive. The thing I've seen it do is create system restore points. The asking itself is intrusive. And Random, learn to spell.

Ok DiGiTaLSeraph, if you support Vista, what are the main pros that you see?

Re: Windows Vista

God you're a ****ing idiot.


I don't support Vista; At least not now, anyways.

Also before you critique someone elses spelling, make sure you don't "coneniently ignore" your own while doing so.

Lol, because I spelled something in an edit wrong while quickly typing and said sya instead of say. Little mistakes really don't matter in this forum...

Ok DiGiTaLSeraph, if you support Vista, what are the main pros that you see?

Stability.
Eye candy (yes it matters).
Speed. (Yes, it does run faster and is more responsive than XP.)
Full Direct X10 support.
Media Center is built into premium.
New explorer.
Much better searching.
Eye candy!!!

And, on a side note, you can completely customize what UAC blocks/allows and whether it prompts you on certain actions or just allows them.

Re: Windows Vista

I like to wait for at least the first Service Pack to be released before I start using a newer Windows on all my computers. I usually get the OS as soon as I can, just so I can play around with it and find out the good, the bad, and anything else I need to know.

Then why are you bitching at me?

Ooh Media Center. I'm amazed. Download Direct X and if you aren't retarted then you wont mess it up, download the Vista skins, fading windows are garbage, and so is visual alt tab, what is wrong with the XP search? Or the Explorer? Even if it is more stable and faster, still not worth it.
