Windows Vista to be Crippled for Pirates

You must be exagerating. I have my problems with ie7 but not that bad. Were you running a very unpatched or pre-WXP version of Windows?

Eric

 

it's very patched XP, but i tend to exaggerate and exacerbate for effect

it was at least 4 times on account of the "Genuine Advantage" bull_crap

 

lol. I give Vista 2 months max till someone gets through. Mind you that the 360 was supposed to be unhackable and Sony tried to make the PSP unhackable. Nothing is ever going to be safe/foolproof.

 

Have you guys seen all the features? I am pretty impressed.

Meh, you guys whine way too much.

When MS releases Vista, I'll end up buying it after a couple weeks, because I think it's worth it. It seems that many of you simply hate windows because you hate how much money Bill has made from windows.

 

ill just buy a new computer when it comes out, and it will have XP installed. Same price, eh?

 

that's just as much an over generalization as much of my bashing is .

All I'm saying is I think it could be at least 27% better based on the bankroll of Bill & Co.

 

Then you need to start checking on your hardware and stop trying to blame ur software

 

there's probably more truth to that than my wallet wants to admit. I think my MoBo is temperamental

 

I couldn't agree with you more un1x.

 

I get Vista final in November. Looking forward to it.

 

My friend has vista and is very disappointed with it, its just not worth buying it

 

Been there done that before. I'm willing to bet you're just overheating.
Are you OCing at all? If it's not heat, then my second guess would be your RAM.
Also are you a gamer, and are you OCing your VC?

Regardless, It cant get any worse than what I just went through this past month. 2 lightning strikes taking out my development environment, with a 3rd just barely missing again, but getting the street right across from me, melting and blowing up TV's, (i kid you not). Oh what a hell of a month it was.

ouch, lightning is bad news for sure!! blowing up TV's - holy crap.
I've heard of phones catching fire too



No gaming or OC'ing - in fact I'm under clocking!

FSB should be able to run 200MHz - AMD 3200+ but as it is I can only go 186 before you know what shuts me off. I've tried at least 7 different memmory mfgs too.

 

No duh. Its BETA!

 

but then the final version won't be light years beyond the beta(different) will it?

I'm not trying to be a DUH, just asking.

maybe the friend didn't like the layouts and all that new look stuff.

maybe the breadcrumbs got stale

 

Layout? you can always switch to classic, bud

And sorry for the DUH!

 

poor choice of words - layout meaning new features not desktop layout per say

quite alright on the duh - fun to see the passion infused into it - creates a mini-buzz

 

well i quite agree it does come in handy for something, if i use a pirated unpatched copy of microsucks and they cutoff the internet after a hour it means i will actualy go to sleep at night

 

Didnt they have the same faeture in windows xp and it got cracked
