    YES! How can I forget about the speed of Ubuntu? As soon as I start Ubuntu, there is litle to no HDD activity!

    microsoft should round people that used vista and know it’s crap…of course when i used vista for the first time i liked, but after a week i hated this operating sistem so much i almost destroyed my pc…:|

    To answer your question: No, I don’t get paid to be ‘violated’ by a piece of software - in fact my friend, software can’t rape people.

    About your statement of me trolling EQ boards: I feel really sad about people like you, trying to make deductions out of no information and failing miserably. So no dude, I don’t troll EQ boards.

    Now lets talk about you: Should I feel sorry that you still own a desktop PC and a power ranger action figure that you actually play with in one of your videos?

    I bet the people they showed probably don’t use computers much beyond the little office programs that they need. They most likely didn’t use it for more than an hour, which also brings up the point how they can call it better if all they did was look at some features and crap… Give them a month to use it, and the scores will go back to zero. Nice try though microsoft, this is sadly good enough to fool a good sum of the average consumers.

    It is safer, has a less stringent hardware requirements (sometimes even less stringent than XP!), looks just as nice as Vista does or even better in some aspects, is a solid and stable OS as supposed to Vista, Let’s not forget that you can get a few things that you cannot get in Vista; for FREE! One other thing is, it is much more of a lower maintenance OS; no registry to edit/clean, no need to defrag the HDD. Though when installing software and programs, it isn’t straightforward and easy…

    I use Ubuntu 8.04, I mean I am still accustoming to the way Linux works, in terms of hardware working as properly as it would on Windows. I have two notebooks running Vista, and one running MCE 2005 with Ubuntu 8.04 D/B. There was a point where I gave up on Linux because of the struggle for hardware disputes, but I realized ethernet always works, so I plugged it in and downloaded and installed them via terminal. To this day, I can safely say I prefer 8.04 to Vista, because…(next comment)

  8. banstaman Says:

    It would have been great if there was a 64-bit MCE 2005, but then again the MCE series were short lived.

  9. terriblyill Says:

    lol im amazed your compaq is still alive. Then again dells not so much better.

    When your compaq’s death occurs(probably in a few months, youll know because itll start making funky noises and running slow), get a mac =).

  10. mykylc Says:

    Nice, so you don’t have to run virus programs, adware or spyware programs, or defrag, or registry cleaner, or C cleaners anylonger. Wait, that’s a Mac. Good lord it’s a shame they even have to do this. It’s embarrassing.

  11. Jasonalbums Says:

    I agree completely, whitewind. In a lot of areas, they made new, and difficult ways to get to the same old stuff. The other improvements really aren’t that great. I really expected it to be more attractive and diverse in it’s appearance, too.

  12. petikal Says:

    It’s all about functionality, windows has its place in the business world, just like mac is suitable for graphic/multimedia production. Thank goodness for VMware, which is, by the way, better ran in Macs.

  13. zonumb Says:

    You can always borrow my Power Ranger if you need it and I bet if I shove some software up your ass you would feel plenty raped.

    You can still use my Power Ranger. No hard feelings.

    WHAT A BUNCH OF CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    It takes a while but I promise you these people will come to despise vista as much as any decent computer tech. Vista sucks RAM, cloggs your pc with useless applications, and you’re spending money to do this???
    XP is great, i got a brand new gateway pc with vista preloaded and 4 GB of RAM and after two months it might have just have been a Windows 95. Screw it I’m going to Ubuntu
    Windows has lost my buisness

  15. TwirlingWood Says:

    I really don’t know what these people are talking about, I have vista and have no problems, but I honestly haven’t noticed any differences between XP and Vista, I don’t know what it has that XP doesn’t. What features does it have that aren’t pointless that XP didn’t? Because I haven’t seen ‘em.

  16. FilmPA Says:

    Its very fast. No waiting.

  17. AbusiveAdminPaul Says:

    I gotta agree with banstaman. I am in the same situation. Let me tell you that at this moment right now I am using Ubuntu, while fixing a nearby laptop running Vista. These users in the video are like “oh wow! cool!” until they get Virtuamonde (the virus I am removing off the labtop)

  18. niniodelpunk Says:

    don’t blame vista for buying a crappy pc…

  19. celbertin Says:

    “In an unprecedented move, Microsoft has committed to providing support services for its soon to be retired Windows XP through 2014 — a full 13 years after the operating system was originally released.

    In a letter sent to customers this week, Microsoft senior VP Bill Veghte said the software maker will provide security patches “and other critical updates” for Windows XP until April, 2014. “

    As the AVGN would say… what’s the most important feature of a video game? Well… being able to play it!!!

  21. digital5k Says:

    Or, alternately, they buy a system with vista built in, but the manufacturer loaded it with bloatware and useless settings that take months to figure out what doesn’t need to be enabled. Who uses a digital tablet on a home PC, anyways?

  22. celbertin Says:

    HP Pavilion DV 2000 with 2 GB RAM

    they used it for 10 min

  23. humanagainstmonster Says:

    Haha, screw macs.

  24. manictiger Says:

    Things that have long stopped working:
    Media Player 11 (wasn’t this designed specifically for Vista?)
    Internet Explorer 7 (again… wth?)
    2 well made games
    Yahoo messenger
    Lime Wire (I suspect this one was deliberate)

    Things that crash far too often:
    Everything.
    Mozilla crashes the least (about once or twice a month). Java and Flash crash at least once a day. Patches don’t mean a thing.
    Half of my used hard drive space is save files due to the instability of Vista.

  25. humanagainstmonster Says:

    Chances are, its probably the fact that you have a Dell.

    My compaq presario never crashes. It never has, and I’ve had vista since it came out.
