Vista is a most secure system ever!? Hmm...
 

Determina found five vulnerabilities, including one error in the software code underlying the company's new Internet Explorer 7 browser.

:disgust

I'm gonna wait until at least SP1 before I consider upgrading

i'm gonna wait until i get a new pc :))))

Perhaps it will be better to wait for SP2 as usually :)

Never ever i would stick with vista.. After this machine is done ill go with a mac :)

shocking, eh? :1orglaugh

BTW, I've tested Mac OS X 10.4.8 on my PC and could say it works just fine - don't see any reason to buy a native Mac for it :)

I agree, wait until SP 2.

Isn't it always the way?

Vista will be better in the long run... but in the short run, there will be issues (there always is with this much code). 5 vunerabilities out of all that code is a pretty low number, really.

SP1? Can you say SP1?

Got any links to a site explaining how to setup a OS X on a normal pc?

gonna wait till next year some time

Sure. Here you go: http://osx86project.org/

Is there anyone besides me who tried Mac OS X on their regular PC's?

Using pirated/cracked software doesn't constitute a "reason"?

Believe me when I say this idiot isn't worth the time. :2 cents:

Does anyone have a crack for vista ?

Fedora is calling you...

the best thing you can do !!

That rocks!!

I didn't say "using" because I meant just trying it. Course I'll buy an official copy of Mac OS X if I'll decide to use it as an alternative work system on my PC.

I see this little whore edgeprod came to my topic.

*kisses*

Heh, nice to see you here girl! :pimp :winkwink:

Are you serious? Is there anyone who uses Linux as a main work system on their desktop PC's?

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

You're always good for a laugh. I'd remove the link you posted to another resource board, though, it's against the GFY rules.

Yep, I'm trying to be as kind as I can with the ladies. Very happy to get you smiled sweathart :winkwink:

So remove it if you would like to :)

I'm the kind of person that pretty much lives on my computer, so having a new OS come out is gonna be hard to resist, so I'm sure I'll be buying it right away.

It's always nice having a change of scenery :)

In this case I'm a totally opposite one, because I would never change/upgrade something that works fine already. I was working as a senior system software developer for DOS and Win32 platforms within a rather long time, so I stick with the following coder's saying: "don't touch it if it works well already" :)

Here is some interesting info regarding Vista (some of you will be shocked for sure):
Find the details here: http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut00...vista_cost.txt

I'm not sure is everything mentioned there is truth but it smells not good...

It's a ban, not a link removal, actually.

Ok, you may ban me if you like :)

P.S. Babe, in some of your posts above you are telling to someone that I'm not worth the time, however you are constantly bumping my threads and posing various stupid comments. So do you have lots of free time to spend it on me or it's just a demonstration of your perverted love to me? :winkwink:

The latter.

I'll stick with my Mac, thanks...

I've been using 2kpro for about 6 years now. When it becomes usless I'll just switch to linux. :2 cents:

im not installing vista for another year or two...

Gotta have to wait for Vista to be SP1 (if it ever happen!)

However, did you read this: http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut00...vista_cost.txt ?

it is amongst the most secure Os´es as long as you keep your machine powered off

I just gotta new lappy 3 months ago.

Fuck vista/microsoft :321GFY

I hear some of their own products
dont work on it.

It's best to wait a while imho so other
product developers can adapt their
software/s to it.

Else you might have something you
use regularly now that want work
until there is an update.

Seems no one has read "A Cost Analysis of Windows Vista Content Protection"

There is written that Vista will decrease the overall quality of licensed media content in order to "protect it better", as well as it will do many other troublesome things...

Please read it!

I think the saying goes. "If it ain't broke don't fix it"

but that would be a terrible saying for a coder

Actually it was just a liberal translation since English is not my mother language :)

*raises hand*

Would use it at work if I could.. but unfortunately, not gonna happen :(

When its all said and done, most linux installers are much easier to walk through than a typical windows install, providing you dont encounter problems. Any problems you may encounter are usually a one google search away from an answer. GNOME and KDE have become very usable, and work in a way familiar to most computer users.. Its definately a viable choice for the work desktop, depending on what you need from your machine.

About the only thing that makes it hard to use in this industry in particular is the widespread use of .wmv, although with programs like mplayer and VLC, most wmv files work fine.

But what about software? What's whit Photoshop, Macromedia(Adobe) Flash, Dreamwaver etc? Do you think they will be ported for Linux someday? The alternative soft is not a solution IMHO. For example Gimp will never has at least a half of Photoshop's usability.

Well, Like I said it depends on what you plan to use your machine for.. I wouldnt expect most serious designers to switch, and thats not what I do.

You can get by with the GIMP for more things than most would give it credit for, but still could never see a Pro designer switching to it after spending years learning photoshop. So yea.. if your a designer, dont use linux :P. If your a programmer/web-developer Linux makes more sense.

all you idiots who talk shit about vista probably didn't even install it... :321GFY

I'm a designer/programmer/web-developer. So which system should I use? :winkwink: Actually I have all the necessary tools on XP so I don't see any reason to move.

for 12 milion lines of code its not to bad :)

Hehe, use what gets the job done for you, I dont hold it against you, or try to be one of those holier than thou zealots on a pedestal. It works for me, but then again, I used to work for a major Linux company, so admittedly I have more Linux experience than I do with any other OS;)

I'm not advocating that anyone and everyone should switch platforms.. was just making myself counted as one of those who use Linux as their primary platform when when you asked if there was anyone who actually used it ;) But with all the negative hype about Vista, its nice to be able to sit back and be detached from it all. Will be interesting to see the actual product once it matures and all the dust settles.

I've been running vista on my desktop for a while now... works great except for when I encode MPEG videos on that machine they won't play on alot of others. I'm not sure why, I figure it must be a codec problem.
