The only clinic that would take you is Auschwitz
To me that's a bannable offence and extremely offensive. To have to dive so low and use such a reference for 'your' obviously poor sense of humor tells me you are one sad person... |

But I for one like the so called bloated GUI, the vastly improved network platform, the pletfora of new media trinkets togather with other fun and ain't afraid to dish out for it, hell if "XP is enough" then 2k is sufficent for anything. But it's ugly and inefficient in a media enviorment which Microsoft pitches with Vista and which undenible is one of the greater perks that people are looking for.
As soon as I get a proper driver support *waves at nVidia and kicks Creative* I'm gonna sit on the RTM version like a hawk til release so I can brag about giving my $300 to MS.
Gah... if they would release it on MSDN allready! >_>
For the poor - bittorrent is still an option as ever  |
I agree 2K is more than sufficient.
Vista doesn't offer me anything that I can't already do in XP that I actually 'care' about.
Considering my work uses XP why would I bother to continue using 2K at home? Duh.
Considering I got 3 copies of XP Pro for 'free', why wouldn't I switch?
bittorrent for the poor?... Yeah, sure is...  |

Well XP for you then  and since you will be skipping out totally on PC for gaming as you has proclaimed I understand the viewpoint but you get little across as a vocal point of argument with an attitude as such.
Regarding bittorrent, it was wrongly presented by me as a mere alternative, however as I'm unsure how I should interprete your rolling eyes on this, I'll just point out some obvious things that I am aware off regardless of my comment earlier so that you may dismiss and further "rolling eyes" at me. This I do also mainly of off your common misstake to use crude humor and bashing as an exercise to get your point across.
So, excessivly-over-apparent-point-to-earlier-comment;
Regardless of your stance regarding licences and copyright you can not deny the postive sides of filesharing, and now, in specific: Bittorrent.
As one of our local technological philosphers would have said: "Filesharing is essentially sharing of culture." and since culture can not be bound by simple means of physical media or lofty monopolies that the goverment offers. So filesharing finally represents something truly unbound.
By this, grabbing Vista of BT equalls nothing else then a trial period for the product - regardless of licence and key. Decisions regarding if it deservers to be bought or not stands with the downloader. So not in a sense a download of the poor, rather a period of extended testing.
So - excuse me, I'm gonna sitt for the comming 48 hours looking for new fun stuff to do on Vista once I drops into my HDD. ^_^ |

Vista's build up and comments since Beta 2 on the whole has been a whole lot better than the way XP was taken back in the day.
Since then, the RC2 build has been bloody fantastic to play with, so I'm really looking forward to the RTM.
I am confident with the fact that once drivers and software has fully matured with Vista, it will be a better OS than anything anyone previously imagined.
The only people that are guaranteed to boo-hoo Vista are the ones with slow processors, small amounts of RAM and obsolete graphics cards, because they wont be able to get the Premium experience.
Complaints like, "blah blah Vista is bloated!" are pointless because when nLite supports Vista you'll be able to pick and choose what you want.
People are less likely to switch to Vista purely based on 'what they're used to', which is fair enough, but I feel that it is better to support the technology and software that is growing with us.
Businesses... well businesses are a different matter altogether as change overs will be gradual. |

| In 2008, I will move to Vista. In 2008 that will be around the time I consider a DX10 card. Vista doesn't warrant to me any need to require it. |
