| I'm one of the few who will actually admit... I use AND like... Windows Vista. Home Premium/Ultimate x64 version of course. |
 |
| Im using Windows Vista, but if FreeBSD had some more compatible gaming capabillities I would deffinately have been using that instead. I gues I have to setle down with only a server in the meantime :) |

| Mac OS 10.4.11 :] |

| I watch anime in windows, but other stuff in linux. |

Not much of a miracle when it prompts a "Block/Unblock" with every single byte being processed >_> You CAN either disable it, or run from your administrator account, which is what I am doing. http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9001970 The thing just bugs you to no end. But even with it disabled, the OS is still miles more secure than XP. We don't have to look far for a recent example. Google is your friend if you want more. :) Security is worth nothing nowadays anyways. A decent virus scanner, spyware scanner and a firewall (I don't use one but you can't ignore their effectiveness) is enough for any machine regardless of the OS. Also a great contribution to security on your machine is the person sitting behind it. |
Claude said: That I've got to agree. The weakest link in security is always the user. :) Chavez, what OS do you use anyways? Seemed like you have had alot of experience with Operating Systems. I'm still sticking with XP because of it's reliability and requirements with hardware. I have worked with all MS OS, and it's partially my hobby to tweak and modify them to my own requirements- and/or likings. |
| Vista rocks, most stable and smooth OS m$ has ever released. |
| Windows server 2008 or you can just say vista on other way since i dun utilize the OS that much :/ |
     |
| I usually use Mac OS. I think it's easier to watch anime on it. Also the sound and graphics are more clear on mine. |

Chavez said: Kotori said: Vista rocks, most stable and smooth OS m$ has ever released. That explains the first service pack is essentially 7 GB of bugfixes. No it's not. |
Kotori said: Chavez said: Kotori said: Vista rocks, most stable and smooth OS m$ has ever released. That explains the first service pack is essentially 7 GB of bugfixes. No it's not. ....another one of these guys (-_-") I'm not making another story of this again. I'll leave you with the invitation of looking up the following keywords on google: '7GB servicepack' (or just click here) |
| You have no clue what you are talking about dude. Installing the service pack will require a large amount of free disk space (7 GB for x86 and 12 GB for x64). However, most of this space will be reclaimed after installation. Also notable, installing the OS will require 7GB of free hard drive space, though much of that will be returned to the user once the megapatch is applied. |
| We're so nice to eachother nowadays. I get a Kotori said: You have no clue what you are talking about dude. and a couple of things that pretty much say nothing. Come with your own test results, then we'll talk and compare them to mine. |
| Shouldn't you be running Vista for that? I have, for almost 2 years. Most of the service pack contents don't get applied btw. |
Kotori said: Shouldn't you be running Vista for that? I have, for almost 2 years. Most of the service pack contents don't get applied btw. I have had enough Vista laptops (and a couple of workstations) at my work, and one at home also. Otherwise I wouldn't draw the conclusion I like XP way better. This between the time that the conversion pack was released and this very moment. |
Kotori said: Good read here http://www.anandtech.com/systems/showdoc.aspx?i=2917 May I first ask why I should bother, or are you horny for some 'win' or something? Anyhow, here you go too. |
| If you are basing what OS is best upon benchmarks, you might as well go back to win95 or 98 which will for sure score better than XP. As for the Anandtech article, it's a very good and detailed technical review of Vista. I bet you think Aero is just eye candy stuff while having no clue how it works and what it does. |
Kotori said: If you are basing what OS is best upon benchmarks, you might as well go back to win95 or 98 which will for sure score better than XP. Butthurt much? Anyways, DirectX9 runs my games perfectly fine, plus the DX10 hacks around (not for all games however) make WinXP my choice. If you're going to bash XP more, please care explaining why I should move to Vista first. Kotori said: As for the Anandtech article, it's a very good and detailed technical review of Vista. I bet you think Aero is just eye candy stuff while having no clue how it works and what it does. The benefits of such a theme doesn't move me at all. Like I said, I chose XP carefully. I wouldn't run something that doesn't fit me just because I don't like new things. Drop the act of the diehard Vista user, lol. |
Chavez said: If you're going to bash XP more, please care explaining why I should move to Vista first. Care to point me where I suggested you move to Vista? Before ever getting into this discussion with you, all I did was post Vista was good and you were the first in quoting me by bashing Vista, as far as I can remember. |
