I wasn't impressed by the RC I tested. Seriously, Windows, learn how to run old versions of your own programs on your own OS.

Yeah, but then you get that whole: "I'm a smug dick who loves Linux" problem. Win-lose.

I love the fact that Linux actually works properly when I request it to do so.

Windows 7 is so much better than Vista. Hands down. It's like Millenium (me) vs. XP in my opinion. I have run 7 through some very tough situations and it is epic win. I do get a tiny bit less fps in win7 vs xp for Fortress-Forever however.

The thing I find most comical is that the majority of people today who compare operating systems do it based on trivial shit like how good it looks. Windows 7 is nothing but Vista packaged with a different graphical user interface. Enjoy your hundred dollar plus desktop theme. Name one thing Win7 has that Vista doesn't, in which there is a drastic addition or change that actually benefits you other than 'it looks purdy and does this little preview thinger when I mouse over mah windows" which has been in Linux for the past 9,000 years.
When does Microsoft plan on adding Workspaces? When does Microsoft plan on adding optional 'packages' that can be manually installed via the user's request through a command line a la Aptitude? When does Microsoft plan on fixing its memory hog problems? When does Microsoft plan on fixing the massive security issues? I feel like a thirteen year old boy in a Catholic church when I browse the web on Vista, because I realize how fragile it is. I feel like a motherfuckin' messiah browsing the net on Linux because it was written by the people who rape your internet on Windoze. Win7 is nothing but a money grab, well then again, so is every other fucking operating system put out by Microshit. I paid $250.00 for an operating system that doesn't work the way I want it to, has experienced well over thousands of errors and crashes since I bought it a mere year ago, and at the time offered no benefit other than DirectX10 support. Microsoft loves tossing a new OS out to distract you from the fact that they failed it hardcore with the previous. In Linux, there are updates to the OS every fucking day. It is bettered every day, where as Microsoft releases an ENTIRELY NEW OS every fucking three or four years instead of fixing previous problems on the OS in particular, and brand it with a nice hefty price tag. Windows is still fixing problems with Windows 98, for fuck sakes. LMFAO. Their Windows Update was a massive failure, and just added more problems. They have no incentive to fix their non-operating systems because there is no competition in the market, and people unknowing of the alternatives buy it because they have no real choice. Why do you think Gates is so rich? Last edited by Bridget; 10-23-2009 at 06:22 PM. |

Oh lord, someone uses linux for a few months and they start to sound like TF2 guys coming on to bash FF playa's and spouting linux forum snippit nonsense.
Worspace does pwn but like mooga said there have always been programs for free you can use even before linux was born back in the dos days.

I don't need years of expertise to see that Linux shits on Windows, like I don't need a degree in forensics to tell the difference between a steamy pile of dog shit and a hunk of pure gold.

Stupid people is a problem across all OS's.
Linux isn't exactly user friendly. People are having enough problems with windows. Microsoft has new patches every Tuesday as well. Last edited by Pixel; 10-24-2009 at 01:13 AM. |

Ok.... I haven't been following all this Win7 stuff.... although I did DL the beta, I never installed it because I didn't have the free time to fuck with it. Oh well. I am no M$ fanboy, it is what it is. It's a half-assed product and always has been. The problem is, the American market allowed itself to be dominated by it... and it spread to the rest of the world. There is little chance another OS is going to come in and take over, since it would:
That said, I ordered Win7 last night. Now I need to make space for it. Windows was always a resource hog. This is one reason I used an Amiga computer until it became unrealistic to do so. My inner nerd gets a boner when I think of my current system with an Amiga OS on it. (someone should SIG that....) Anyhow, I've heard lots of good things about Win7 from end users.... those who's opinion matters more than the BS rag-sheets that try to sell you everything in creation. For the first time I can remember, I'm going to upgrade the OS in my computer. I usually wait, and end up with a new system. I ordered it from HSN(the only credit card I have that isn't maxed out).... and the time it'll take to get here will give me time to prep my system for the change. I hope BJs has spindles of DVDs...... 1/2 tb of HD space is going to take some time to back-up.

Win7 is great BUT... It's impossible to turn the mouseacceleration all the way down, at least it has been for me and ive tried like 4 regfixes by now (none for win7 of course...). It's pretty annoying if ur used with 0.
If any1 knows how to turn that shit all the way down, please let me know. Last edited by Mikael_hs; 10-25-2009 at 03:09 AM. |

What type of mouse are you using? Their party drivers might work.
Also Bridget, you are a Linux fanboy. I hate Linux fanboys because they have no understanding of Linux. They all scream "LINUX! LINUX! GNU! GNU! WINDOWS IS EVIL! WINDOWS IS EVIL!" But they are also all running all different levels of software so they can smoothly network and interact with windows computers and networks. This isn't a Win vs *nix thread, so I wont start on all my *nix software issues. Also, you lost your argument the MOMENT you tried to seriusly say this: Quote:
