Subject: Why is Vista taking so long?

Because Windows Vista has over a million lines of netcode, thats 40% more than Xp, and thats about, 60% more than Windows 2000.

Thats just one of the many.

Id rather wait a little longer than get a half-assed OS.

If you actually try the release candidate, you will see its fully functional, not many glitches AT ALL, what they have to work on though is making it compatable with all existing programs.

Too be fair, they seem to be making a real effort this time.

Im just wondering what effect its going to have on upgrading my PC. I heard its locked to many componants, so I dont know whats going to happpen if you get an OEM version.

Yes I have just installed the latest build, 5748, and it is looking good. Still very flaky on my older laptop build in wireless, Intel 2100 chipset. Works on and off with a Linksys PCMCIA wireless card. The cabled Ethernet LAN, Realtek, is 100%, but the wireless is complete pants ! So, I would not like to see this released just yet, it's still a bit off for my money. I would say March/April is the target.??

Why is Vista taking so long?
Because it's going to be leet. End of story.

Edit: Since when are pointy grunts males and curved ones females? They all bleed the same on my computer.

Ew... if I ever see two grunts (1 male, 1 female) hugging and kissing each other in one of the campaign levels, I'll just throw nades at myself, before I throw up. That, or I'll stick both of them at once, and laugh my ass off while I watch them blow up.

Who says grunts hug or kiss? Maybe they have other ways of showing affection for each other, like nuzzling their giant backpacks against each other. But they'd have to be careful otherwise they'd end up impaling each other.

Okay...male and female grunt discussion is one thing, but kinky grunt sex is a totally different matter unto itself.

And how'd you get onto this topic, anyways?
