Its not a whole lot easier when you don't have a DVD burner Wink

Besides, it wasn't very hard anyway (for me anyway).

Right, I;m on Vista right now. Nothing too special, they seem to have just jazzed everything up, added desktop widgets and less functionality. Even in the x86 version it STILL CAN'T install any speakers, and the D: on here is my XP partition, which I have free access to, but I can;t really take anything from there... it recognises nothing as mine (Firefox settings, MSN etc). It's just like I've done a fresh install.

Right, after spending about 30 minutes with Vista, I was fed up with it. The x64 version had already refused to download (did anyone else get a 13mb file?), so I used the 32 bit version. The one thing I can say is this. It's like Lindsay Lohan. It jumps about, using up all the resources in your PC to shout "Look at me! Pay attention to how beatiful I am!" But after after a while, it gives you a headache by too much flashy effects, which is worsened by the fact that it's an absolute RAM whore. Windows Media Player 11 has practically downgraded past the point where I'd rather use version 4, and IE7 steals from FireFox, but fails in every way. I could still access the old XP partition, but not even my old documents, in any way. The only decent thing I'd say about it is the Taskbar's thumbnails, but that's probably in PowerToys anyway. Press Windows and Tab, and you get an even flashier App selector. Overall verdict: The only reason you should be getting it now is so that you can hate it while it's free, saving you your precious money for the future.

Well, I have to disagree with Pixie as I quite like Vista.

If you installed Vista on another partition to XP then it IS a fresh install.

I was able to start downloading the x64 version fine - it was just over 4GB.

Yeah, it does suck up RAM (I was using about 620MB of my 1024MB) but my RAM isn't doing anything else. The real test will be running a game on it. Considering their focus on getting games to run well on Vista I suspect Vista will stop using a lot of that RAM when you run a game. If not then you can turn off the memory intensive stuff when you start a game.

Yeah, I don't really like WMP 11 either and I had real problems trying to get it to 'see' my playlists.

Lets not get into the whole "OMG it stolz00r it!" thing. Its not like MS have never used tabs before... I think IE7 is a excellent improvement over IE6, especially if the new Vista/IE7 security stuff is good. I especially like the way it lets you add bookmarks and access your bookmarks and such. Although I went back to FF after a while due to some incompatibility IE7 had with some sites.

I had that problem at first (accessing my docs) but after a short time it seemed to 'unlock' and I was able to access all my files with no problems.

Overall I like Vista and will be picking it up a short time after it comes out (depending on price and whether I can get it free from MS). I like the way it streamlines things and makes things easier, smoother and more enjoyable. The constant security warnings were annoying at first but you can just turn them off.

Continuing our conversation from the closed topic in the now "off topic" thread where it is valid...:

To Wolv3nsam: I'd like to see the part where I said anything about "rank boosting"... and I haven't even mentioned my rank here at all (although you can easily find out...).

Well said Voodoo.

However i'll say my bit.

We don't like cheaters, bridgers or modders. We don't like arrogance and we don't like some reject who has nothing to do with the clan come here and necro long dead topics.

So in short, fuck off you cheating ass. You cheat by proxy since you play with cheaters (We really hate people who were in our clan and cheated)

The Scotsman makes a point, cheaters are lower than chavs in my eyes and I eat them. You however are a different story, arrogant, obsessive and full of yourself. No one would try and eat you. Aside from the fact you're cheating scum and have an obsession with our clan. Where is the Banhammer when you need it?

Very Interesting. I may have to read up a bit.

EDIT: Now that I have done some reading up a bit, I have come to the conclusion that this "Thrash777" person, is the English equivilant of "Sargeant Fork". Now thats a tough spot to get to, in my opinion.

So I am calling out protocol #01-96, the WORFD protocol. Under creation of Bluestone from 343gs.com. Upon hearing "WORFD", everyone must "shut the fuck up and stop arguing". So here goes

WORFD

So wait, let me get this straight, you guys think I cheat!? Laughing Razz Very Happy Smile Surprised

roflmfao!

Oh dear... well, how can I prove to you that I don't? Here is a start:

http://www.rdkleague.com/marathon/pro-board.php?nation=england&page=3

I was in 19th, but I haven't been doing as much as I used to...

Yes, that's right. I am currently ranked 33rd in the UK at the time of this post. Owned

Sorry if I seemed to have caused offense to anyone or annoyed anyone, it was unintentional. It seems that skilled people aren't welcome here, I guess that's why me, Total, Anti, and Chamb0 are eternally hated here...

I don't need to say anymore, and since no one seems to like me despite my efforts to stay on good terms with people, I guess I'll just leave you guys to your own little world, and I'll move on in life.

Sorry once again for annoying anyone by simply existing...

You really are proving your arrogance and your past actions cannot be excused , by the way some care about that MLG stuff but most of us dont so why the fuck waste our time you arrogant piece of fucking shit. I mean who the fuck do you think you are you arrogant piece of shit, you presumed originally before the purification of the clan that you were special and were a hj again showing your arrogance. I really do hope in real life someone rips your fucking balls off.

And dont make any crap about the swearing, who fucking cares we're all above the age of twelve mentally, something you of course haven't gone past due to your self-centred arrogance. Thrash you're the kind of person that has no honour and gets the back of his head blown off by his "comrades" simply for saying the wrong thing.

One last thing FUCK OFF you fucking retard.

I'm pretty sure that many HJs have accused you of cheating, and backed it up with your text. That's enough to persuade me, if the staff and the majority of the clan believes you cheat.

33rd in U.K, yeah that a nice thing to say, except you should say it to people who really care. I thought the HBO clans weren't about skill, but having fun. Are they not? Your arrogance will not get you very far, my friend. In fact, the grim reality of it is that arrogance gets people killed.

but just because this clan isn't about skill, doesn't mean we don't have skilled people. We have our share of skill. Not much of a point to try to stay on good terms with people that can;t stand your presence, anyway.

Cheaters are usually enough to piss off anyone for being around where they aren't wanted. And you aren't wanted here. So I'll say it nicely, leave. or if you prefer...FUCK OFF
