Or Windows 7, whatever ya wanna call it. Have ya seen anything about it? Are you ready for it? They say about 2 years away but will it be as buggy as Vista? Oh, youboob has a few vids, if your curious.
-
It doesn't matter what name they use for they newest crap, the big "Windows-Family" always gonna be a ticking bomb.
I never had a completely bug-less op. sys.
-
oh god, and YT vids on this r all fake, unless u can give link to a real one. this will be as crap as vista. XP all the way

Windows = Fail
Linux = God
Problem = Most games and applications are only supported on Windows and MAC.
Solution = Kill Windows + Mac.

Dad has vista. So far No issues. i dunno what everyones problems are. can't wait for windows 7. So far I figure everyone who's had issues with vista are morons cause I know my friend tried to install XP over vista. It's like trying to install Leopard over tiger. you can't do it. Everyone just has to get used to the fact that the world runs on Windows. Mac's ok if you're 8. Hell linux only just got the ability to use a mouse. Personally I'll stick with windows. oh one last point. The computer side of apple is owned by microsoft. They own more then 50% of it. That's why mac's went Intel.

Linux rulez windows socks. I have XP only for Vice city
-
Hopefully they've realised Vista isn't as good as it should be, so they are making a new one to make up for it.
-
I've read that XP has about 250 OS files that's required for it to work, Vista has 5000 and Vienna/7 gonna have like 50.
That's kinda promising... i don't know whether it's true or not though.

I heard about this, but honestly i don't care so much, i'll stay on XP as far as i don't need more from my computer. Anyway, that's kinda good for windows i think, this version will help a lot.
-
Microsoft will take their time now and not rush this Windows as they did with Vista, which was a complete failure. They need money, so they can't fuck it up again.
-
You think their running low on the cash? HA, due to the price cuts in UK on the Xbox 360, sales have gone up 40%. And that's only in the UK. Microsoft shall never be left high and dry.

vista would be fine if it had a low priority mode.... dedicating 512mb of ram to an os.... hopefully they get the idea with this one
-
Here's an idea. Don't run vista unless you have a decent computer. yes it's a RAM Whore. they told you it was a ram whore and now you get "omg it won't run on a comp with 756mb ram" well duh! Vista wasn't a failure. Vista rocks the box. also windows 7 has been in production long before vista.

I have 4gig DDR3 ram and it still eats the shit out of it. Die Vista, Just DIE.

So? Wine is not an emulator, today, all of the games I own (No DX10 games... - who need those anyway? OpenGL3 will come soon) are working fine under linux, people often say they must be emulated, this is wrong: They will be copied to memory and the cpu can just run them like on windows, all wine does is adding the windows kernel functions to the linux environment. /*Edit: Forgot to say that unreal 3 etc have native linux support*/
I have seen a presentation about the next windows but they said they want to focus on integrated applications and right management etc - that sucks.. An os should only be a layer between hardware, software and the user, not a tool collection.
alien: you are wrong in (nearly) every single point, the problem is, that your dad doesn't know whats going on in his pc while running vista, it will lock alot of hardware features, send data to microsoft etc - not really user friendly (And thats probably the reason why installing XP over is alot of trouble).
Personally I believe linux has mouse support since its initial release in 1992. When I used linunx back in 1998 as a 8-year-old I remember that it atleast had mouse by then support. I can't say much about macs, but its potential is great. Also its pretty stupid to buy an OS for a few hundred euro only to get a ram/cpu eating thing with bad power management.
btw: there was a DSL release once which needed 1mb ram and 50mb hdd space - now that rocks...
-
Apparently the kernel variation planned for Windows 7 is supposed to take up only 25 MB on disk and 70 MB of memory. Of course that's just the core files (no GUI etc.), but it's a huge step in the right direction after Vista.
I still prefer Linux on my laptop but I have XP on my desktop because it supports more software. Macs are alright, but they're seriously overpriced for what's essentially a limited PC. They're aimed at the people who prefer ease of use and looks I guess.

That'd be great. Also low ram usage would be great too.
