What do i not like about "XP"

Who cares about Vista, XP sucks....

What happened to the good old days when you can do almost whatever you want, ie dos.
Now windows has to allow this, allow that, hide this hide that, restrictions, illegal operations, "updates", you can't even see what kind of ext some files are using, if not recognized by windows. Just too many restrictions i hate it, i never used Vista, but im sure it will be worse.
And of course, too many things that you don't need.

Thank you for that moronic and uninformed trash.

This is the CPU forum. This thread has nothing to do with CPU's.
In the future try to post more constructively.

Go back to using DOS if you want. It's your choice really. Vista is new, give it a chance to root out all the errors. And you even say you haven't used Vista, how can you criticize it?

what do you use now? If you use DOS you can't connect to the internet right? (I don't think you can). Are you a Linux user?

You'll be amazed how well that works.

Windows isn't really all that resrictive when it comes right down to it. I personally use both Linux and windows, and although I do enjoy Linux's stability over windows . . . by a LOT, I still like Windows the best, period. I can do anything I want on it. Everyone else updates their software too, you just don't hear about it as much because nobody else has "Patch Tuesday". Illegal operations haven't been seen since we migrated to the NT kernel, as far as I've seen.

I also don't recall being able to run Quake 4, F.E.A.R., Photoshop, or iTunes on DOS, but you know, maybe those aren't things anybody wants to ever do.

What he said.

so, XP's been out for 5 years and only now do you moan. does the word troll mean anything to you.


lol, then again seeing as you finf an operating system that even children and my mum can use iam guessing you ain't too bright.

You might want to try Ubuntu. It's nice, easy to use, and Linux.

Also, stop whining, of all Windoze versions, XP pro is the most stable in my and many other people's opinions. And yeah, Vista will make it worse.

No one is making you buy and no one is making you use. And, as others have pointed out, you have other options, ranging from using DOS (gasp), through some type of Linux and on through to switching to Apple. And to think you were lost in a sea of choice all this time while lamenting your fate on the rocky shoals of XP.
