I say Boycott Vista until Microsoft releases a WNDOWS GAMER EDITION, streamlined for Online Games and Gamers.

i would support this
i should be able to reboot into Windows Gamer Ed. which is a command line Operating system, and then boot into the game itself. that'd be kick ass for framerates

AshenSugar · Oct 24, 2006

windows gamer edition wouldnt be command line, that would be silly, but it could have a basick windows 2k desktop and be configuared spicificly for gamers, low resorce use, high perf, no bloat.
ofcorse it would need to support normal windows apps, but it wouldnt be as pretty/heavy as windows is by default.

any of you who have run windows server 2003 as a workstation know how much leaner and meaner it is on install then xp, it could be like that, easy to use, low resorce, rock stable, fast/responcive.
this would keep most users from buying it because it wouldnt be "pretty" and wouldnt come with all the extras so many aol users want like wmp11 and such(no wmp built in ofcorse) no system restore, i mean really cut down, all the things people do to get xp to perform decently but done by default

just keep a partition with xp on it and one w/ vista fast dx9 on xp dx10(till hacked) on vista

AshenSugar · Oct 24, 2006

haha, vista's licence at least implys you cant share you screen viewing with anybody via screenshots or monotor, you cant have more then 1 person watching the screen at a time, NICE, that would rock so hard, you gotta stop using ur pc if anybody else can see the monotor, i would laugh if they tryed to enforce it like that specly with screenshots

Pinchy · Oct 27, 2006

lmfao!!!

wat r these guys @ microsoft smoking

Casheti · Oct 27, 2006

Anything they can lay their greedy little hands on. Including small children.

Pinchy · Oct 27, 2006

well...if thats the case, then someone should go to microsoft, and when the programmers find a bug and show someone else, sew the living crap out of em

Casheti · Oct 27, 2006

All of this "special" liscensing crap probably has to do with that two teired internet
idea that congress has. If we can't show screen shots and such we won't be able to "clog' the internet, which as you know "is" a series of tubes. lol. What a bunch of shysters and shitheads. Both congress and micro$oft.:shadedshu

well lets see all i can say is f*** vista there is no way i will buy it

but when i get it, it WILL NOT require all that license BS if you can catch my drift :nutkick:

haha m$

C0mrad3 · Oct 27, 2006

Yeh so I just definitely decided I never want to see Vista.

Alec§taar · Oct 31, 2006

Best thing to do imo @ this point?

(And, I've read MOST of what AshenSugar's put out for info. some of which I question, other parts I do not (and like him, do NOT like (DRM mainly))

Try it yourself when it releases guys... go to a store where they have it preloaded on some machines, & make judgements @ that point.

APK

P.S.=> Sometimes, it's THE only way... I have heard this "Anti-Microsoft" stuff in the past, & it always sounds convincing... until the product's released, & it's a hit time & again... this time though? I am NOT 110% sure like I was for NT 3.51, 2000, XP, & Server 2003 though... but, time will tell! apk

ARTOSOFT · Oct 31, 2006

To buy or not to buy. That's the question.

Regards,
Arto.

DaMulta · Oct 31, 2006

Microsoft said you can call and get it moved to another system.
