With that being said, I still hope they do it for Windows 7. And please Microsoft, get rid of the registry already.]]>Apr 13th 2008 1:49AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/04/12/is-windows-collapsing/http://www.switched.com/2008/04/12/is-windows-collapsing/

What a load of crap.

My four year old Toshiba laptop with XP outperforms Vista in everyday simple tasks like:-

Opening Outlook.
Opening Word.
Opening an email
Opening a new email and typing stuff in it..

How Microsoft have the cheek to push this bloatware as an advancement in operating system technology is beyond me.

Since it is still based on old, security-vulnerable technology it would appear they have spent so much time trying to make it secure that it is now virtually unusable.

It's a big fat pig of a program and shows what happens when you let young, inexperienced (read: cheap) developers - fresh out of university no doubt - let loose on your product.

Microsoft, hang your collective heads in shame.

Oh by the way unless you have Vista 64 then your quad and dual core are a waste of cash.
The second core doesn't run unless you know how to tweak your system.
GET as much memeory as you can afford or your system can handle.
TURN OFF AERO it's a waste wow whoopie I can turn the screen desktop and access the mulit tasking programs I am running. Guess what 99% of you Don't multi task so your wasting your resources with Aero. I can switch back and forth faster with the task bar.
And last don't buy an Intel they are two generations behind AMD. AMD has had a quad core out for two years Intel just released thiers! Same with dual cores AMD has had them for almost 5 years now! You will also save about 200 bucks on an AMD. Why? Becasue AMD doesn't spend millions on glossy ads on TV or in tabloids. you pay for that with thier bloated prices.
AMD's also run FASTER actually speed not just the clock speed they have better through put on average.]]>Apr 13th 2008 9:59PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/04/12/is-windows-collapsing/http://www.switched.com/2008/04/12/is-windows-collapsing/You're a complete idiot if you think Intel is 2 years behind AMD.
Have you not seen the Core 2 line? Or benchmarks where Intel mops the floor with AMD's best.

The only thing I'll give you (which is solely from what I remember reading) is that AMD may have a better price-to-performance ratio, which means jack shit to me. ]]>Apr 14th 2008 2:18AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/04/12/is-windows-collapsing/http://www.switched.com/2008/04/12/is-windows-collapsing/Apr 13th 2008 11:48PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/04/12/is-windows-collapsing/http://www.switched.com/2008/04/12/is-windows-collapsing/
Nobody should use Windows. Sure there is the legacy stuff out there, but otherwise Windows should be avoided.

Pay for every little app on a Mac? On my Mac here I have loads of applications that I have never paid for (and I'm not talking WAREZ).

Apple makes you pay for the next version of the OS, just like Micro$oft. OS X 10.5 is cheaper than all flavors of Vista, is a full install, sold in one flavor, and comes with a REASONS to pay for it (i.e. Spaces, Time Machine, New Librarys [runs faster], and the whole Mac Dev kit, etc.)

So, Mr. Windows Fanboy, your OS's days are limited.

Unless Windows 7 will work, but methinks M$ can't pull it off.

Apple has (2 processor changes, and 1 OS Change)]]>Apr 14th 2008 4:23PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/04/12/is-windows-collapsing/http://www.switched.com/2008/04/12/is-windows-collapsing/Apr 30th 2008 10:13AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/04/12/is-windows-collapsing/http://www.switched.com/2008/04/12/is-windows-collapsing/located.
In MSDOS or CPM (remember that one) you could find exactly
all you programs and data and if desired could wipe it out without
hopping through all kinds of hoops.]]>Apr 30th 2008 3:10PM
