QUOTE (impala454 @ May 26 2006, 02:45 PM) more like you guys just hate anything microsoft. they could make a machine that cures all disease, solves everyone's problems, and costs $0.50. you guys would still hate it and have no objective opinion on it. bottom line of this dumbass thread. software has beta releases for a reason, dipshits. when have you ever seen me argue against microsoft ...never on the other hand im not having wet dreams deriving from the oh so holy microsoft. in other words, your arguements are stupid which leads me to believe that you are stupid |

FUCK THAT. ..... right. on the fly file search/indexing could be nice. The built in imaging could be nice for backup purposes. but right, keep goin on ! regardless, I wouldn't use it for a few months. No reason to use an OS for at least 6 months so that it gets some updates etc -------------------- QUOTE (Lance) now we have some dude from argentina wondering how to fuck dogmeat |

the old strategy used to be stay 3 OS releases behind Microsoft.
Now it's more or less 6-12 months, seeing as it took them 5 years to release a new OS (not counting server 2003.) -------------------- WAIT. I'm not finished.

I just seems like XP with a new shell and a search feature. But that doesn't seem like a big jump it's pretty much just using some database shit to group things together. |

vista more or less IS xp. they took out all the good bits and they're hobbling together the searchy system on top. hell, google desktop does that shit.
probably the best bit about vista is the new command shell, aka Monad, which you can also download for XP... ...and unfortunately, will lead to even more CRIPPLING hacker attacks, considering you can essentially write a short script that can use DLLs and such straight from the prompt. essentially, you could write/run an entire program from the prompt... it's powerful as hell, but quite possibly too powerful for it's own good when you look at it from a security point of view. -------------------- WAIT. I'm not finished.

QUOTE (zetec @ May 27 2006, 03:02 AM) vista more or less IS xp. Yeah more or less... except for a completely new file system (essentially a database), native 64 bit code support, completely new managed-code APIs, and completely new shell interface. But the file system, native system APIs and user interface aren't important/major parts of an OS or anything. |

But the file system, native system APIs and user interface aren't important/major parts of an OS or anything. the "totally new" file system is not the "totally new" filesystem it was originally supposed to be. WinFS is essentially NTFS with a sql database, or something to that effect. Not much more special than what google desktop does, not to mention apple did this last year. Native 64 bit support? Ever hear of Windows XP 64-Bit edition? The new shell interface (monad) is available (already) for XP; i already wrote that. You lose there too. So are a bunch of those APIs. So yeah. There isn't anything new here. -------------------- WAIT. I'm not finished.
