do people still use windows?

And Linux Rocks !

But Apple Is For Gays.

[Sextent]

I'm having no bother with Vista on the other PC. Not a crash, not a bit of hassle with either software or hardware.

Maybe the ultimate is better made.

[Sextent]

I'm using XP on this machine. Works fine for me too.

[hijump]

No thx, to much resurses for Vista

[4play]

seems sticking with xp (http://exo-blog.blogspot.com/2007/11/windows-xp-sp3-yields-performance-gains.html) if your gonna use windows is the smart option at the minute.

though dual booting and getting used to using a linux/bsd distribution would also be a smart move.

[Mr. Mulder]

if kubuntu had a penis and a hand it would use the penis to urinate into vista's mouth and then put its hand over said mouth and stroke the throat of vista until it swallowed the urine.

[Sextent]

Always too much fannying about with drivers and stuff for my liking.

Indeed.

If I want to install new hardware I've got to plug it in and wait for a few seconds.

People who use the linuxes have it so much easier.

Or software, what can you get that runs on windows. Fuck all. Not like other operating cisterns.

You know, I'd never thought about it that way.

You know, I'd never thought about it that way.
you're right, sorry for my well thought out point lol.

i see you have no problems with vista and that's fine, I hope it has implemented some nice features that was lacking in the past. I just like a well designed OS like UNIX... a personal preference.

I've never liked windows and vista is no exception. so IMO UNIX or a UNIX based system is a much better option than windows, but that's just me.

What a lovely conversation i've bumped in to here....

(sarcasm count 3/10)

I am hoping to upgrade to Vista in about a year when I am forced to by some software I really like. It normally takes a while for new Windows releases to settle down and become stable(ish).

[Proper Bo]

I've had no problems* with vista, like. My m-audio soundcard didn't officially wurk with vista at first but the XP drivers for it worked fine.

*that weren't easily solved

[j2k4]

Last evening, Vista told me to go have a nosh and a cuppa while it repaired itself.

Took about 45 minutes, and no secrets told, just flaky behavior fixed.

I could get used to that. :whistling

I've been running Vista for some time now.
It's really a good OS. It really takes a lot of computer power compared to XP but if your system has the right specs it really is faster and more stable than XP.

I'm glad MS went the direction they did. It will force manufactures to raise their products to a new standard. When things catch up, the complaints will be a distant memory.

[fstrulz]

It actually takes 45-90 or so minutes to install XP/Vista (depending how fast your computer is), while it only takes 15-25 minutes to install the latest release of Ubuntu or Fedora... The only problem with Linux drivers is when it comes to very old hardware and also ATI and NVIDIA graphic cards, but that has been fixed and improved just recently when both companies release stable Linux drivers for their cards... Linux also has great alternatives to Windows softwares, such as OpenOffice (FREE), GIMP image editor (FREE), Pidgin AIM/MSN/Yahoo/etc. all-in-one chat client (FREE), and other applications (FREE)... You can also install and run your favorite Windows softwares (Photoshop, uTorrent, etc.) and games in Linux using Wine.

But it's all matter of choice of course, and everyone should stick with their OS that they're most comfortable with. :)

Straight-up - those applications that I was "bragging" about are more like alternative apps for Linux than free apps for Windows. Linux programmers can't put price tags on their softwares, because Linux is all about distributing softwares for FREE and all about community... I actually use Pidgin on my Windows XP PC, because of its versatility... On my Linux PC and laptop, I actually use OpenOffice, Pidgin, and Photoshop (through Wine), because I love it better than Gimp.

Linux actually supports far more hardware than windows. The problem is the latest and greatest hardware is rarely released with Linux drivers so it takes a while for the community to produce them, test them and fix the bugs.

hopefully all this is starting to change since Dell, HP and other manufacturers are shipping Linux pre installed with machines. If your hardware does not have reliable Linux drivers these days you are going to miss out on millions of potential sales.

I'm afraid you will have to provide some evidence of that, or I will have to suggest you are talking out of your arse.

Not saying you're wrong or anything. However my own searches for linux drivers have led me to the opinion that there is a dearth or them. Whereas it seems untenable to suggest that very many hardware manufacturers would produce equipment without a Windows driver.

A fresh Ubuntu install recognizes all of my hardware save the X-fi soundcard.
If I default to the onboard AC97 sound, Ubuntu will pick that up automatically.
I can't deny that I find that impressive.

Creative makes a Linux driver but only for 64-bit OS so I'd have to reinstall to try it.

Myths, Lies, and Truths about the Linux kernel (http://www.kroah.com/log/linux/ols_2006_keynote.html)

Im currently showing a few of my sisters how to use open office, pidgin and amarok. so far they have had no problems. granted i spent about 2 hours getting the machine to a state that they could just login an everything works.

[Sextent]

Supporting more "out of the box" is not the same as there being more linux drivers available for a wider range of hardware. Even if that is true.

Windows does not need to provide a specific driver for every piece of hardware because the manufacturer already does that. Always. Since they designed and built the hardware their engineers are the best people to write the driver to make it work.

The problem I have with linux is that if it doesn't allow me access to the internet then I can't even go looking for the drivers I need.

[4play]

I would consider not being able to access the internet through wi-fi a complete show stopper for you trying out Linux. It was the same for me quite a while ago, i installed suse 8.0 only to find that my 56k modem was not support.

Like i said before this problem is slowly correcting itself where manufacturers are being forced to produce their own drivers for Linux or open up their specs so the community can make them or face missing out on an ever increasing market.

Vista has had a very similar problem where they have made changes that have broken old drivers. lots of manufacturers cant be arsed to spend the money to write new drivers for older hardware since they are not gonna see any return.

[BawA]

although Ubuntu may be different somewhat but the look and the feel is complete rip off the windows, unlike mac which is a totally different type, i used the latest version of ubuntu i found no different on how it explorers and portrait, this alone shows the willingnesses of using windows among computer users so they made something same but different in infrastructure .

And FSTrulz pls stop saying its free, we here at FST anyway dont pay for any software to use atleast not for windows, so it doesn't make any different whether ubuntu is free or not.
and stop saying about drivers being installed instantly on linux, did at any time a standard hardware didnt response on windows, i have quite a lot of USB/external and internal hardwares and non of them ever gave me any problem with installing on vista not to mention XP.
unless you use all chines HW which have no windows support whom btw dont last long you wont have problem with drivers on windows.
graphics and audio drivers come with both OS's by default but their not much a use on both so anyway you must get manufacturer's driver which in linux case is a non official driver.

software range which linux has is nothing compare to windows not to mention gaming which is almost zero, and please dont talk of work around to install windows stuff on linux, we use computer so it do our work not we do its.
simplicity is something which modern OS's are offering more and more and linux is creating more and more workarounds.

security is one thing ubuntu users may be proud of it, well people not using linux much is what make it safe and out of hackers radar, its not worth the time to waste and not getting to newspapers headlines.
personally i think staying away from unnecessary sites and p2p application is enough to protect yourself.

Edit:
i forgot about vista...
am using it since the release and so far i have no problem, may be some minor application crash but this is always the case with new versions, not only windows but any software, it takes some time till they are fixed, my guess would be SP1, apart from that there is no issue.
its not much a resources hogger if you have atleast a 2Gb ram(600 or 800), and imo if some1 in today cant have that much ram then its a waste to have a computer. i have 2gb and what vista uses with all function on and lots of background application and addons(StarDoc) running it uses 800Mb of my ram.

Quality, there was me thinking double clicking the exe for the drivers on windaes was a pissabout.

[Sextent]

Or indeed Windows rather politely noting that you appeared to have a new piece of hardware and enquiring if it could possibly be so bold as to request your permission to install it for you.

Indeed if Sir required it Windows would search the internets to ensure that you had the most up to date drivers.

I mean,
Heil Bush!

T. Roosevelt was shot for trying to run for a "third term."

[Broken]

Then I imagine more people should be supporting Bush for another term, yes?
Can he count on your vote?

I was always under the impression that it was 2 and that's yer lot.

Third term not an option.

[Broken]

lol.
That's OK. He's already proven he doesn't need votes to win anyways.
It just keeps the people happy to have an election every once in awhile.

If you go by the Constitution, sure.
But we know better than that, don't we.

In what way do you know better.

Do you seriously think he will ignore the Constitution and stand for re-election.

I seriously doubt that.

Surely the Republicans wouldn't select him. So he would have to stand as an independent. No way he would be elected.

It would of been TR's second term, but the man who shot him said: "I shot Theodore Roosevelt because he was a menace to the country. He should not have a third term."..."I shot him as a warning that men must not try to have more than two terms as President."

I think it was because he finished McKinley's term (who was assasinated) and TR was his V.P. Anyways...the man later said that McKinley told him to do it in a dream.

The whole search thing without warrants bothers some people, but wasn't that recently revoked or was it? :unsure:

Bush on the Constitution: 'It's just a goddamned piece of paper, I"m the President!" (http://www.gnn.tv/threads/10799/Bush_on_the_Constitution_It_s_just_a_goddamned_piece_of_paper)

I can see a third term happening. And a fourth, fifth...

[Sextent]

So you chaps do suspect that he will stand for a 3rd term.

I find that amazing.

[Something Else]

So it isn't a piece of paper? :blink:

You jokingly suggested that I might have known who that chap was, knowing full well there was no way on God's green Earth that I did.

Windows ROCKS! ...the day of installation. After that, it's a steady decline in performance and functionality. If it weren't for the windows rot, I'd be truly happy with it :)

[Aaxel21]

I gave up on Vista after I read the reviews on it. Then I saw the price to buy it. I then had a memory lapse.

[dinsdale]

OS X had problems too at first. Vista will probably be okay eventually. The fact that it was so many years late is another story... Linux seems to be gaining popularity too.

[Hahaiah]

Proof that a picture is worth a thousand words :)

XP still works just fine for me and MAC is still :ghey:

Yes, I love that pic. I whish that was me.

It's ok, one day you will have a thought of your very own, cherish it when it happens.
