General Software Discussion / Re: WIndows Vista Ultimate ... worth upgrading ... CNET say no!
« on: February 09, 2007, 07:45 AM »
hope vista goes the way of millennium - the only people who use it are those that get lumbered with it when buying a new machine. like xp followed millennium, i hope that the NEXT ms operating system after vista will be actually worth buying/using.
Nudone...2000 followed ME..then along came XP using 2000's core.
Regardless...I'm not 'upgrading' (
?) to Vista until SP2 YES Service Pack T W O comes out! I was a beta tester and it reminded me of just how 'buggy' ME really was!!!
Oh..and Media Center Edition: Just a comment....I may be wrong here, but I truly believe that BillyBoy is trying his best to get the PC into the consumer's living room!! I'm an 'ordinary' user of an 'ordinary' PC. I DO NOT want to tie my phone, TV, entertainment center, etc etc etc to my PC!!! The only thing that even comes close to 'entertainment' that I do with my PC is record and edit my music collection...which is comprised mainly of the '60's - '70's 'Oldies' off vinyl. Media Center edtion even put the hurt on me with THAT!!! I would have to purchase a Mobo with Realtek AC97 to be able to edit (emulation) my music. I know for a fact that AC97 is slowly dying and 99% of PC's sold today do not have an intergrated AC97 chipset onboard. I'd say this is because of...you guessed it...'entertainment' in the living room! PRESET effects that won't let you adjust the sounds that (in my opinion) people are too lazy to adjust themselves.
One more scary thought: Since M$ OWNS your copy of XP...and the worst scenario is that not enuff people are 'upgrading' to F&&^% Vista...might they just drop support fo XP and FORCE everyone to 'upgrade'?? I honestly don't think that their 2014 date is a reality!!

Wasn't he the Very Kind soul that GAVE ZoneAlarm to anyone that wanted it?
