XxMeltIcexX Posted February 3, 2007 Report Posted February 3, 2007 Anyone here get Windows Vista Yet? Just Got Ultimate today, pretty neat stuff, heres a screenshot of whats up, i hope my CSS works on it... Quote
theshee Posted February 3, 2007 Report Posted February 3, 2007 I just got use to XP let alone another new one. Keep us posted on how it works. :thumbsup: Quote
BigRed350x Posted February 3, 2007 Report Posted February 3, 2007 my dad was a beta tester for it and I played on it a few times and didn't care much for it. I'll give it a few months for all the updates to come out and let them fix everything people find wrong with it. - Jared Quote
FireHead Posted February 3, 2007 Report Posted February 3, 2007 Alot of the CAD/CAM packages have sent out email stating that they will not be able to work with Vista for the time being. Until they catch up I will be using XP. :thumbsup: Quote
XxMeltIcexX Posted February 3, 2007 Author Report Posted February 3, 2007 I was using "longhorn" , but it crashed so much I gave up after a week, but this version is very stable - suprisingly. Also, if you do get it, make sure you get ultimate, the price is outrageous although - but everyhting comes with it, well worth it, im loving the texas hold-em lmao :biggrin: Quote

But now that it's released, support and compatibility is increasing and he was telling me it's getting better. We were talking about it today at work. I'm going to do the same as you, let it come out and be out for a while, and once the bugs are gone I'll throw it on one of the laptops and see what it's about. Quote
wesw Posted February 3, 2007 Report Posted February 3, 2007 ive heard of very few having any luck with it. unless your computer is basically stock, no fancy sound/ video cards. ill stick with xp. Quote
Lee Posted February 3, 2007 Report Posted February 3, 2007 and before anyone says how they stole ideas from apple, let me say that statement is false. Microsoft stole ideas from the same people mac stole them from/paid off, and vice versa. Linux and Open Source environments. Besides, even though this kid looks like a baked super geek, he pinpoints the argument: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QI3VB1VPm4c it doesn't shame on either companies but moreover just sets the record straight.

dawarriorman Posted February 3, 2007 Report Posted February 3, 2007 Personally I have no use for windows period. If I did still use xp, I wouldn't bother to upgrade to vista. There are no real enhancements, its slower than XP, and it costs a fortune. Oh and as far as your fancy 3d desktop, its cool, but can you do this: Linux has had 3d desktops for a while now. But, if you like, and your happy, Im happy for you. Have fun with your toy! :thumbsup: Quote
Animalman294 Posted February 3, 2007 Report Posted February 3, 2007 Yeah, I usually wait for them to come out with the 2nd edition, plus by then friends break the encryption and get me copies of it to try................. For the price of the damn thing they better throw in the car too................ :yelrotflmao: Quote
STLBILL Posted February 3, 2007 Report Posted February 3, 2007 Same !@#% different year. Anyone remember Windows 95? Quote
RagunCajun Posted February 3, 2007 Report Posted February 3, 2007 I seen it for the first time yesterday. I was going a modem install(ima cable tech.) and the pc had it. Took a while to figure out where things where but it went by great. It would take a little time for me to get used to. Quote
XxMeltIcexX Posted February 3, 2007 Author Report Posted February 3, 2007 I have linux, xp and vista on the same comp, love linux = no support (But awesome) XP is just old school. Macs have never been in my eyes. Vista has supported all my hardware and software so far. CSS works flawlessly on it also and about it being slow, not so i only have 1 gb of ram and it runs awesome, just wish i could have gotten 64 bit, but i couldnt find it anywhere online :biggrin: Linux is an open source OS, meaning everyone puts in their .02 thats why it has all its cool looking features, microsoft finally saw that linux has come up with some good ideas, so they jumped on it - as anyone would have.

I'm running ultimate myself, any idea how you got the windwos to go sideways? I have a 512mb radeon x1600 card so I'm sure I have the video power. Had a gig of ram but just burnt up one of the chips by not fully pushing it in on a mobo/cpu swap. Oh and yeah its already been cracked. Quote
