    Vista Sales At 40 Million Already

    On my site for my college's MS Academic Alliance when I downloaded Vista for free it showed a sale price of $0.00. I wonder if these contributed to sales. I am not even really using vista, I just got it to check out since it was free through my school.

    My mom is awesome, Dell WS 22" LCD for bday

    Being in college, I really wasn't expecting her to get anything like this. I asked her to get me Forza Motorsport 2 next week (im a car junkie). I know they have come down in price, but I just got a 22" Dell wide screen LCD (E228WFP) for my 21st birthday. Wow, I never knew what I was missing...

    XP BSOD fix - reinstall all drivers?

    I think I *may* (probably just jinxed myself) have found the issue. After finally debugging a full memory dump, it said that it might be the USB port. I didn't really think it was the actual port since I just installed known-to-be-stable chipset drivers for my board, BUT I was using a Logitech...

    XP BSOD fix - reinstall all drivers?

    I am having a similar fun time with Windows x64 edition. I never really had to debug Windows this bad, usually reinstalling drivers does the trick. As I type this I am on my longest stretch of stability (outside of safe mode) which is about 20 minutes. I keep getting the stop error...

    Vista, Admin rights, UAC, and You

    Im sorry, but I don't see many programs being written that don't use OS system calls (functions). Besides Java programs I suppose. Point is, most modern, complex applications require knowledge of an underlying API for the most part. Does this mean the registry is required? No, but I am just...

    Vista, Admin rights, UAC, and You

    While your points are for the most part valid, you must at least acknowledge the fact that UAC may not be the answer. Is it more secure than older Windows? Of course. Is it the best solution? Probably not. I know what you're saying "It's annoying, but deal with it for security." The thing...

    Could this really be possible w/Vista...(thinkin Dell rep is full of it)

    Well, actually my PC quad-boots. openSUSE 10.2 (64) Vista (32) XP (32) XP (64) I get the MS operating systems for free via my CS department at school. Unfortunately they don't have the 64 bit version available for download so I need to order a dvd for 10 bucks. :( I like Vista, lots of...

    Booting XP after a couple months of Vista

    I am not one to argue when I am beat. Point taken. Still, I don see why someone would respond like that. So, the proper perspective on that statement could be: "Why don't you consider staying with Vista for...." To this there are still a number of reasons why many, Windows-only users...

    Booting XP after a couple months of Vista

    Wow, there are a lot of Vista lovers here. I am using because I got it for free via school. Honestly, all the performance enhancements seem to be things I have had with Linux for years. I reinstalled XP for games, since vista performance seems to suffer in this regard, at least for the time...

    Could this really be possible w/Vista...(thinkin Dell rep is full of it)

    WTF? How does someone wanting to use XP on THEIR machine aggravate the piss out of you? Hows this for you...I am running openSuse Linux...UH OH. Should have bought Vista. The point is, no matter his reason for using XP. How does this upset you? Also, if you think that Vista doesn't have...

    Socket 939 Alliance Recognition

    *Looks down to 939 setup. *Looks at wallet. *Looks at turbocharged Subaru. Yea, I won't be upgrading for a while. Congrats to the winners, and as mentioned, its great to see AMD recognize the community. If only more companies tried to maintain a relationship with their customers...

    I must say I do find it amazing that vista has not slowed down at all since install..

    I find it more odd that this is a surprise. I have been running Linux distros for years that retain their speed and reliability. Not to bash Vista, but, its just people have low expectations for MS software, while other OSs have been doing some of these things better for years. Then again...

    Going to use WinXP Pro X64. Any advices?

    Other have basically mentioned most the issues. It can be very tricky getting your drivers working. But once you do, it runs fast. Booting to a clean desktop is ages faster than any other version of XP. Like you, I have a student license. I wouldn't recommend it as your only OS, but dual...

    Vista for system builders

    Just a question, do they all really need a new OS? Is it Vista? I am just curious why some people seem to automatically want to upgrade to Vista. I have it on my system (along with 2 XP installs and SUSE linux I am typing from) but only because I got it for free from school, being a computer...
