Blasphemy!!

NFD, that really sucks man. I hope you manage to get as much of your data back as humanly possible.

Re: What the ****

So I basically got everything back to normal except one thing. My Windows Media Player 11 won't install correctly.

That's what I heard. And then I almost died when my parents decided they wanted a new computer and that it would have Vista. Vista --> FFR Slayer. So I've heard from most everybody.

Grats on getting most everything back.

Use Media Player Classic. It's much better and free to dl.

Also, yea, it's a really good idea to have an external. You can get a decent one for about $100 nowadays for idk, 300gb space.

Maybe if you have 11 GB of RAM it's not a problem, I dunno, but on the computer I played on, with 5 GB of RAM and a perfectly fine processor, I lagged like hell. If you cherish FFR, don't get Vista.

*chuckle*

No, Vista is not the problem, nor is the amount of RAM. You do not need 5gb or 11gb RAM to run a flash application, sorry. Go learn something about hardware before you give such advice.

I read a while ago that Windows 7 would be Vista, with less features, less built-in spyware, less built in pretty much everything.

I sure as hell hope that rumor is true.

This is where I get really pissed off. I understand that some people are just too stupid to process information, and with many of you, that is the case. I will hold you to a higher standard anyways. Go research Vista, use it on your own, and ask people who have some idea what they're talking about. Hearing it from your mom's dad's uncle's roomate that Vista is bad because it HaxeZ ur IntarNETS does not constitute fact. Hearing that there were problems with Vista in its beginning and then applying it to everything else is a crude conjecture at best.

XP was as bad as Vista when it came out. It takes time for an operating system that a good 90% of the world uses to get up to speed. Vista now operates much faster than before, and all the kinks have been worked out. I have been using this computer with Vista for months, and only once has it crashed due to a non-overclocking incident, and that was from an Apple program, iTunes 8.

You know what the truth is? You've all been duped. Bloggers and columnists on the internet get paid by number of viewers because they make money from advertising. The quickest and most effective way to do that is to sensationalize and create conspiracy theories. So the blog vultures jumped on the Vista carcass. Translation: you were hyped up into believing a bunch of bull****. Vista is not bad. Vista is not the devil. Go learn something about hardware and then you'll realize it yourself. It's not exactly secret knowledge.

Windows 7 will be based on the Windows Vista architecture. What that means is, Windows 7 is essentially Vista Number 2. There is nothing wrong with the Vista kernel, and in fact it's better and more stable than the XP kernel. But hey, I'm just a hardcore computer enthusiast who owns a custom computer building business and started programming C++ at age 14 and Visual Basic at age 12, and has dealt with many kinds of software and OSs personally and professionally. What the **** do I know?

Windows 7 will be more scalable - that is, there will be smaller versions of the OS to allow it to be used in more applications than are currently possible. Meaning, if I want to run an OS from a thumb drive, I have a Windows alternative to DamnSmallLinux.

Re: What the ****

Well, I like WMP 11 because it looks nice. It says I need to download the Rollup v2, but can anybody provide a link? I can't find it.

**Zageron** · 12-19-2008, 03:11 PM

Re: What the ****

Funny enough about factual sources, I've used Vista for three months on and off on a very good computer.

I definitely didn't like it, and I found that my much worse computer was faster.

And NFD, don't switch to VISTA. Because if the computer is only Vista compatible than it's not going to run it very well at all.

Re: What the ****

Windows 7's name sounds horrible.
XP, Vista, then the number 7.

**Squeek** · 12-19-2008, 04:00 PM

Re: What the ****

3.1, 95, 98, 2000, XP, Vista, 7

What's weird about that?

Your logic: your personal experience, with very limited expertise, should be taken as fact and is the only thing you're basing your opinion off of. Hmm.

You didn't like it why? "I didn't like it" isn't a valid reason why the operating system isn't a good one. Let's have something concrete. Give me one valid issue you had that isn't user error or something arbitrary that has nothing to do with performance and efficiency.

also, Zageron, post specs of both PCs. I know it's probably too much to ask, but run some benchmarks as well. Maybe time some encoding or run a basic benchmarking program. I'd like to see any good example of how your XP computer runs faster, along with a general idea of how you've configured it.

ME, as well.

@chidori! Oh and the name is totally a reason to trash an OS. LOL amirite? Owait, little kiddie was 7 when XP came out and doesn't know anything about previous OSs. My first version of windows was 3.1.

I'm so ****ing hXc I shit binary.

Re: What the ****

I don't quite know what my mom's computer has but i played aim on it and actually beat my old score. Vista's not the worst ever but it's among it. My brother modified XP to look like vista... It looks nice but he has issues.

Substantiate that for me. With FACT.

Then list what other OSs you have used.

EDIT: I've found backups of my music, pictures, and other things but like, what do I do. Do I have to reinstall my Internet Explorer and games and stuff?

How do you reinstall internet explorer without the internet
