Vista Sucks! Microsoft can't even give it away

LOL, I guess we can I agree that Microsoft has used Linux and still uses Linux to help protect its servers against denial-of-service attacks. There is no better flattery then to have your competition have to use you because it's product needs it. Microsoft needs Linux to protect it's servers. Still in 2008.

 

can you post proof that microsoft still uses linux itself in 2008

so far all you brought up were years old articles

 

Vista does not suck! but its your slow computer which sucks

 

yea as someone said he is clutching on straws

and as a linux admin i actually have deep respect for windows server especially new 2008 version, it has alot of nice features


speaking of slasdot im a regular myself and incidentally one of my larger sites is bigger than slahdot now

 

My computer isn't slow, Vista is. Well anyway, Vista made me never want to buy another PC again, Mac from here on

 

You yourself have said that they use Akamai. Akamai uses Linux. You can interpeted as you wish but when people use something it's because they like the product and endorse it. Microsoft still uses it to stop Denial of Service.

ill explain yet again


Akamai are a separate company who provide a CDN to microsoft among many other companies

the backend microsoft servers are all Windows, if the loads get to great Akamai step in and serve it from their network

its been like this for years

 

not just zombies buy a saab !!
or am I a zombie ?!

 

vista does suck. The onli reason i m using it os for Directx10 support for my fav games and upcoming games .

 

I hate it. My mom has it on her computer and it is the most annoying and bugging OS I've ever seen. I'd even chose ancient Slackware over it.

 

It works fine for me, though all I care about is [Mozilla Firefox, Thunderbird, Adobe Fireworks, Dreamweaver, Filezilla, Notepad 2, Project64, and steam] Other than that I really do not need much. Though I keep a little partition for XP.

 

yeah many people did switch back to windows XP!!

 

Vista replacement is coming out 2009 so why buy it? Wait to see what Microsoft new operating system does.

I have Vista and like it just fine. I have an XP cd but I'm sticking with Vista.

 

vista tries to EAT 4gb ram
so xp is better

 

I highly doubt that will happen...seriously. They will most likely clean it up with service packs as they do with every OS, and just fix it from there. There are a lot of people that are happy with the new OS so if they abandon it they would be stupid. I just ran a report on my websites and am finding the number of vista users has doubled over XP and is growing rapidly. It just wouldn't make sense.

 

There are two reasons I hate vista.

#1) Nothing is where it used to be. Finding my way around the pc to get to admin tools that were easy to find, even add/remove programs, is now a major pain in the @$$.

#2) Visual Studio 6 will not run in vista, only VS.net and VS.net does not run well in vista. It's a major PITA as well. I'm sorry I ended up with vista.

When in the he11 is sp1 going to be released? That's what I want to know.

 

I doubt it to but that is what Microsoft is saying even to PC World.

the Vista SP1 release has just began -Vista SP1 Released to Manufacturing

 

Let the downloads begin. If anybody downloads it let us know if it's worth it.
