No really, why else would they do that. You must be a regular Einstien to have figured that out all by yourself. Or did your mommy help you?

Go spam somewhere else.

mmmmm, spam!

actually, Spam is very delicious....
I do not understand why the term spam has been used in such a porr context.

...and people call me mis-informed about Vista.......Do you honestly think I'd be ragging on it so badly if i haven't tried the betas? I mean my God, i thought iPodLinux was bad enough, but Microsoft still has a long way to go to make this thing ready, and they're already 3 years behind!

Programming an Operationg System isn't like making a flash game kid. There are billions of lines of code to be written, bug-tested, re-written, bug tested, and re-written again.

It took them 3 years to create windows 98 from 95. And they started even before 95 was released. Same story with XP wich was released in 2001. And we all know how bad 95 and XP turned out. Why? Because they rushed it. They're not doing that this time.

And you rag on Windows Vista from your experience with the beta? Serious case of cranial-rectal syndrome there. Do you know what a beta is? A beta is a pre-release version used to identify bugs. So whatever problems you had with it will not be present in the final version.

RIP Halo 2.

Oh, c'mon, Vista is merely XP with a new theme and absurd requirements.

Leopard > Vista

Exactly! What the hell is M$ thinking? Vista is simply XP, except with a better interface...and rewritten netcode...and rewritten base code...and better support for DualCores...and support for modern DX10 GPUs...and with increased security...and with more built-in features...worse, it pushes every computer maker out there to produce more technologically advanced computers to the main market simply by virtue of running this OS. What bull!

...uh...yeah. Like he said, EXACTLY like XP! Gosh you guys are stoopid.

Regardless the arguement, I'm getting Vista anyways when it's released (for free). I just might pick up Halo 2 when it comes out. ;-)

And heavier CPU usage(that's why it supports dual cores...it requires them)...and IE7 has heavier bandwidth usage than IE6 (which sucks cause its slower)....and monstrous internal navigation.....

Well, Pentium 2 processors can't exactly handle it...it's 2006 in computing, after all. With Vista, we won't need to worry about underpowered processors.

I'd like proof from Microsoft themselves that they need a DC to run Vista. I know people who have gotten Vista/Aero full running on a 1.8 single core AMD. I'd also like proof that IE7 consumes more bandwidth than IE6. More than likely, its your ISP that's causing problems for you.

I don't know about the main market, but as a computer devout, I'd rather see more powerful, faster computers mass-produced by the big names like Dell, HP, etc. Making a new OS that requires higher specs is a good way of bringing this idea to life. Far too long have they been cheating consumers out of a decent computer by offering lower-than-standard specs and Intel Integrated GPUs.

Less "OMG MY COMPUTER CANT RUN HALO" threads that way as well.

Edited for nastiness and rudeness.

Well, sorry if your Pentium 2 processor can't handle it, but welcome to the year 2006 in computing.


um, excuse me, I'm using a Celeron M, Thank you Mr.Scumbag

tell me to do more resarch? ha, the arrogance of some people....

Wrong. I'm assuming you did do reasearch (right?)...I'm asking for you to link me up to it in the same way I am with this:

A celeron M is actually originally based on a Pentium 2 processor. So my argument was valid after all. What a coincidence.

I'm also still waiting on benchmarks on the speeds of IE7...

Oh, and one final thing, sorry if that above post came out as arrogant...I like my debates nice and clean, usually devoid of name calling. Previous post edited. With that out of the way, let's get the debate started...

That is beyond PWNED! That's like uberpwnage to the extreme.

Booger, were you born this s2pid? Or did you have to work at it?

Time and time again you base your arguements of vista being crap from your own experience with the beta. When anyone with a shred of intelligence would realize that a beta is not indicative of the quality of the final product.

You and others like you whine and -blam!- about Halo2PC and Windows Vista being some big money making conspiracy by Microsoft. Well guess what; It is a conspiracy. It is a conspiracy to bring the next generation of personal computers to fruition, and if M$ makes some cash off of it, well, they are a company. That's what they're supposed to do. If you were Chief Executive Officer of Microsoft, you would do the exact same thing. It's called capitalism.

If you'd pull your head out of your ass for five minutes and stop whining about what Vista NEEDS. Maybe you would see what Vista PROVIDES.

Guys you remember the thread I made a few days ago....

These are the kind of people we need to educate no matter how unbearubly stupid they may be.
