Vista has a future? Hah! Too funny. DX10 gets more and more disappointing as the days go by (like, announcing it won't be handling physics). And frankly, I'd rather use OpenGL anyways. Vista is just some bloated piece of crap GUI machine. I couldn't hardly look at it as an OS. I don't plan on upgrading from XP to Vista until it's free. It's not worth a dime.

And to all the people that are going to reply saying that all the cool X360 games that are coming to Vista/DX10 ONLY, get a life and buy the crappy console. It was made for a crappy console, and that's where it should die.]]>Jul 28th 2006 4:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/28/microsoft-exec-avoids-confirming-vista-release/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/28/microsoft-exec-avoids-confirming-vista-release/

'Virtual Death','Electric Funeral', 'After Forever' or, 'All Moving Parts Stand Still'. Plenty of Black Sabbath opportunities.

'World of Pain'
'Five Years', David Bowie.
'Second Hand News', Fleetwood Mac.
Or maybe,
"Wait Until Tomorrow', is the most appropriate right now.

Finaly the piece de la résistance,
'The Lemon Song', Led zeppelin.

You get the idea

I wouldn't be suprised if Vista arrives earlier than January 2007 !]]>Jul 28th 2006 5:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/28/microsoft-exec-avoids-confirming-vista-release/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/28/microsoft-exec-avoids-confirming-vista-release/Jul 28th 2006 5:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/28/microsoft-exec-avoids-confirming-vista-release/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/28/microsoft-exec-avoids-confirming-vista-release/
How did you get Vista running on the Mac? I'm preparing to purchase a MBP (waiting for WWDC) and would be very interested in dual booting OS X and Vista.]]>Jul 28th 2006 5:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/28/microsoft-exec-avoids-confirming-vista-release/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/28/microsoft-exec-avoids-confirming-vista-release/
For my servers I use FreeBSD, CentOS, or SuSE after moving from Win2k3. I plan to use OSX Server when it’s released as mentioned above.

I have lost faith with MS after using Vista for a few weeks. They obviously cannot compete with the other offerings, whether that is Linux or Mac.

Sad that Microsoft's inability to innovate without delays and/or breaking most of what works well in their products makes their geeky customer base complacent with old software.]]>Jul 29th 2006 5:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/28/microsoft-exec-avoids-confirming-vista-release/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/28/microsoft-exec-avoids-confirming-vista-release/Jul 29th 2006 5:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/28/microsoft-exec-avoids-confirming-vista-release/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/28/microsoft-exec-avoids-confirming-vista-release/Jul 29th 2006 5:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/28/microsoft-exec-avoids-confirming-vista-release/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/28/microsoft-exec-avoids-confirming-vista-release/
Change to Linux. If you have even the smallest computer knowledge you will be able for it. Others will help you along and wont charge you for saying that all you have to do is reboot.]]>Jul 29th 2006 5:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/28/microsoft-exec-avoids-confirming-vista-release/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/28/microsoft-exec-avoids-confirming-vista-release/
It's not going to hurt Microsoft - they've got $40 or $50 Billion in cash (maybe more) - not to mention it only gives all of us more time to save up for new computers.

I'd rather know that it's going to work and be as bug free as possible than have it rushed out the door and have problems galore.

Vista will not make your computer more secure. Ask Symantec http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,1990662,00.asp

For $50 list you can get the best Linux distribution plus Open Office 2.0 - www.novell.com/desktop ]]>Jul 30th 2006 11:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/28/microsoft-exec-avoids-confirming-vista-release/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/28/microsoft-exec-avoids-confirming-vista-release/
Please, enough with the detailed argument.

Us "Microsoft fanboys" seem to be the ones that realize Windows is not coded by a bunch of Bill Gates clones. It is coded by hired programmers, who go to work every day and come home to their family. These people are trying their best to deliver a product that will be used by millions of users. Yet of course, all you regular desktop users can argue is: get Linux, get OSX, or release a stable and good version of Windows already.

Since you're all so familiar with how an OS should run, why not major in computer science and code your own OS? Hell, you can even sell it and I'll buy it and test it out. By the way, will it be good enough to run on millions of machines and support thousands of different products and deal with backwards compatibility issues?

Just my $0.02.]]>Jul 31st 2006 8:23AM
