You're nonsensical (again).
XP has a 64bit version.
DX10 is pretty much pointless, all hype no show, the devil was in the details.

I'm not going to move from XP on the machines that have it: there just nothing interesting in Vista/7, and there sure are lots of annoyances (from drivers to sluggishness, like the post-XP "File Open" dialogs... urg I hate those slow things).

As for security, well don't use Outlook or IE and you'll be safer than the lastest Vista/7.

He's talking nonsense. Judging by the list of known bugs, they are obscure enough that he wouldn't have had a chance to spot any of them.

"It's only function is to inform and discuss copyright law, not take sides."

*cough* *cough* *cough*

Organizations that inform and discuss any subject *always* have a view on the subject, regardless of what they claim.
That's human society 101

Everyone on that boycott list should just say they are going to pirate it instead. Then they might actually care more lawl.

7 is just a Vista with fixes actually.

And from testing the RC, it's a good effort, but I'll still keep XP as my main system, thank you.

And I'm disappointed by Activision's unwillingness to drop the base price for new games.
This gen I'm *only* buying used or platinum.

XP still works and does everything I need it to (ie. FireFox, and far behind, OpenOffice).
For gaming, consoles are a much better alternative nowadays.

Unless it does something better than XP for sub-notebooks, Windows 7 is entirely irrelevant.

Worst part of the game was the Mako, driving that thing around was a chore. Looking forward to the second one tho.

If anything, this isn't true anymore. The performance differential between those CPUs and CPUs of 2 years ago is minimal.

Oh, and you DO lose a fair chunk of the value of a new Mercedes the second you drive it. It becomes instant second-hand.

Well deserved, they have been quite underwhelming during the last years, churning out buggy chips or trying to feed us the nonsense of multiple graphics cards in the same machine.

Comments like that remind me WHY the whole IT industry sucks, from HP down to resellers like yourself.

Always churning out new buggy half-finished stuff, rather than fixing what they already sold, or merely delivering what the customers want.

You don't need Business for RDP. You can use and setup RDP on all Vista versions.

The *only* plus of Business is you can log on automatically on a domain, whereas in other version you have to do it when connecting to shared resources at the password prompt.

Same goes for VPN and the rest, everything is in there, just not in the menus (and no, you don't need to hack or crack, just add the shortcuts manually and you're set).

Well, loos like I'll stay with XP at least until Windows 8.

All the things you listed as Windows7 benefits can be done, and more conveniently so, under XP.

UAC is still useless: how many viruses have hit you with XP in the last years? If you browse the web with FireFox and don't use Outlook, that's a big phat NONE.
UAC is still a solution in search of a problem.

Last NFS I played was MW, only for the police chases really which were pretty fun. I won't be buying any NFS until they go back to their roots.

BluRay is betting DVD on *adoption* rate.
ie. it is displacing DVD faster than DVD displaced VHS.

At the current rate, parity should be reached next year, from that point on, DVD will just die a slow death like VHS did.

Car manufacturers are in the red and thus easy targets for blackmail.
Otherwise this market wouldn't be an option for Intel.

Better increase taxes than print money or run a huge deficit.
Those no taxes guys like you are just wimps and egocentrics that actually just want their children to pay rather than themselves.
'nuff said.

That may have been true months ago, but I take it you haven't actually kept up on BD players.

All I could muster when I read about it was wtf...

I'm a big fan of supcom, but the game has hardly received good support from the devs. I hope this changes things.
