re: smug
Move to vista?
Now, seriously... almost everyone I talk with who's tried vista has removed it in favour of an old XP.
Mark my words, you *will* regret *dearly* having moved to vista.
-memory/cpu hog <-- slow
-DRRRM RrrrrriiiiiiDDDDdddddleeed <-- slow
-"new" (sigh) fancy display <-- slow
-DRM check on every single fucking file <-- slow (thanks ElReg mod for not censoring that word, it's intended, for the extra effect)
-application compatibility issues; a ton of 2K/XP apps won't run anymore
-drivers lol; The final straw came when I tried to install my HP laserjet 1010, a fairly new product from a known brand... driver? soon (tm)
-OpenGL NUKED; DirectX emulates OpenGL with the speed of a pot plant
If I were you I would really, reaaaally make a good search around the web before upgrading to Vista.
Again, you *will* regret it *immensely*
As a side not to the article:
"Trend Micro submitted three of its anti-virus products, all of which falsely identified a Microsoft development tool as spyware."
Hahahahaha, well you bet it is once they start serving ADVERTS in their products...
Btw, any of these products labelled "Windows Genuine Advantage" (rofl) as a malware/spyware/adware ? ;)
