do people still use windows?
U Foolz Should Be Ashamed Of Yer Selfs Win Wins.
And Linux Rocks !
But Apple Is For Gays.
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.
FreeBSD ftw
Who is BSD.

I'm using XP on this machine. Works fine for me too.
No thx, to much resurses for Vista
seems sticking with xp 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.
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.
Always too much fannying about with drivers and stuff for my liking.
Since it has neither, what does it do?Quote:

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.
vista is a piece of crap.. UNIX ftw!!!1
You know, I'd never thought about it that way.Quote:

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.
Good post.

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).
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
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'm not particularly interested in arsing about with computers to make them work. So the simplicity and ubiquitousness of Windows appeals to me.
That's precisely what I'm doing, but with a bit of the arsing about thrown in.Quote:

size isn't everything j2k5
There's nowt to see mate. An operating system which is more difficult to set up and use. Far inferior support for drivers etc and a minute fraction of the software available.
Except when it is, Spiderd_oode. :whistlingQuote:

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.
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.Quote:

I consider all software free, as does everyone else here. So putting it in capital letters isn't really a big selling point.
If I could easily get my wireless connection to work and connect me to the internets then I would play with linux.
