February 13, 200917 yr I dual boot Ubuntu Intrepid and Win 7 Beta (Vista didn't have aero, also loaded slower then Win 7 Beta) Once I get a desktop and an iPhone, I'll be looking at getting a new and better laptop and replacing it's OS with just Ubuntu.

February 13, 200917 yr XP. Might try Linux when I have a faster net connection, takes ages to download all the necessary files otherwise. "In the beginning, the universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
February 13, 200917 yr I use xp at the moment. I am seriously considering switching to Mac or a linux distribution, but not sure yet. "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
February 14, 200917 yr ^ I would recommend Ubuntu to start with. Very easy for beginners, excellent support and a huge software repository too.
February 15, 200917 yr Ubuntu Hardy. It's like a [bleep]ing rock. I used Intrepid for a week and I found it to be, on the whole, less stable than Hardy. Maybe it was just me. [edit] Steam | Soup | Last.fm
February 19, 200917 yr Windows XP on my Main PC and Laptop I want to get Linux Ubuntu, however I have always found, it's a pain to get working with my wireless (I literally spent 1 entire day looking through guides trying to get it to work, only to end up using parts from all of the guides to make my own guide... Then it worked... Until I restarted the laptop :() I've tried multiple times to get into Linux, but with the wireless problems, and the fact my Printer is incompatible with it, has put me off from trying it again.
February 19, 200917 yr I use Internet Explorer, but playing RuneScape, I use Safari :D What's Runescape?
February 19, 200917 yr I use Internet Explorer, but playing RuneScape, I use Safari :D So you're using an MS OS. Which one (is what the thread is about)? J'adore aussi le sexe et les snuff moviesJe trouve que ce sont des purs moments de vieJe ne me reconnais plus dans les gensJe suis juste un cas désespérantEt comme personne ne viendra me réclamerJe terminerai comme un objet retrouvé

Strange, it works great for me.
March 25, 200917 yr Running Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex on my Vaio FW11E, and it runs smooth as [cabbage]. Got everything working fine, like the wireless, bluetooth mouse etc. Got the full desktop effects enabled as well. I even have World of Warcraft running at 60fps through Wine. Currently trying to get Office 2007 to run because of school work :@
March 25, 200917 yr XP Pro SP2 .Can't upgrade to SP3 for some unknown reason, see viewtopic.php?f=45&t=773381&p=6281841&hilit=SP3#p6281841. I said I fixed it, but I realised 2 days after I was still on SP2 >_>. Might try Ubuntu when I get a faster net connection. "In the beginning, the universe was created.

March 28, 200917 yr I just switched back to Windows XP two days ago. I've been having way too many compatibility issues with Vista, and I just find it annoying that I have to give myself administrative permission to do an action that I induced in the first place. Parkzer.com
March 28, 200917 yr thats why i spend more time using Windows 7 then i do Windows Vista. i'll hopefully be able to update Windows 7 to build 7068 later tonight assuming it finishes at a decent time.
March 30, 200917 yr I just switched back to Windows XP two days ago. I've been having way too many compatibility issues with Vista, and I just find it annoying that I have to give myself administrative permission to do an action that I induced in the first place. Here's how you solve your problem. You can: a) Disable User Account Control from the control panel (And open a HUGE security hole in your system) or B) Convince Microsoft to rewrite how Windows works so that it knows who started the action. Which still opens a hole. Other operating systems have done more or less the same thing, for example Linux. (With sudo, for example) It's a good practice and adds a lot of security. And seriously, how hard is it in Windows to just click the continue button? In most Linux distros I know of you have to type in your password even if you are an administrative account, and with other distros (Like Debian) you have to type in the root password. (By default anyway, it can be changed) Unless you're using the root account for whatever stupid and securicidal reason.

For example, I'll download something and afterwards click "Run." At which point I am prompted with UAC box that makes me click something again, nearly ten seconds after I clicked "Run." But I usually multitask and have the installation minimized, if so, the UAC doesn't pop up or blanket my screen, it makes another window. And to my frustration, my installation is not complete because UAC didn't notify me correctly. I'm glad Windows 7 fixes some of this with the user control settings. I understand it's only a simple security measure but it gets old, real fast.
March 30, 200917 yr Past experiences. Mac OSX 9.? - Good, fast, and boring. 6/10 Windows 95 - Crash much? 5/10 Windows XP Home edition X32 - Fast, reliable, O.K. for gaming - 7.5/10 Vista Home Premium X64 with 2GB of RAM - Uhhhhhh lag! - 3/10 Vista Home Premium X64 with 3GB of RAM - Sweet as for gaming, almost never crashes unless full screen apps, no lag -10/10 2GB RAM in Vista - Burnout Paradise on Medium, random 30~FPS 3GB RAM in Vista - Burnout Paradise, Very high + 4xAA stable 60FPS+ Current goal: Legends, Regicide, Roving Elf's, Barrows RFD, 95+ Attack.

Would solve the problem to quite an extent (Although it would cause people to hate it even more).
