Dark_Matter Posted September 7, 2006 Author CID Share Posted September 7, 2006 I'm going to avoid buying Windows Vista for as long as i can. I figure about 2 years from now i might pick it up!! looooool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingzero2309 Posted September 7, 2006 CID Share Posted September 7, 2006 I might be able to get mine for like under $50 bucks or something. My college has discounted copies of software, and Windows XP Pro they sell for i believe $26.95, so i'm guessing Vista will be somewhere around there too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

netmasta Posted September 9, 2006 CID Share Posted September 9, 2006 a mod promoting and condoning theft? who do i report mods to? the big man himself? I doubt he's condoning it. But anyway, our boss happens to be the Big Giant Head. He's kinda hard to find though. Edit: No Vista for me. I've had enough of this monopoly. I'm gonna try Linux. To be safe, I'm going to try it on a MS Virtual machine first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael16 Posted September 13, 2006 CID Share Posted September 13, 2006 Linux is hard to use. You cant do everyday things on it suck as flash, or listen to an mp3. You have to hack the kernal foreverything and use bash. On the other hand, Bill gates should make his stuff cheaper if he doesnt want piaracy... lik 30 dollars.

I am also going to have to disagree... in the past year or so there have been huge developments in Linux for retail users. As it stands right now 80% of what you can do on the command line you can also do in a GUI app. I think you would be impressed by the new Ubuntu live cd, Suse 10.1, or maybe even fedora core.. The linux developers are currently trying to make it easier for those who want to get rid of windows and move to linux. One major improvement is the vista like "start" menu that should be out with Suse 10.2 running KDE.. KDE Kickoff As far as flash goes... yeah it is some what of a pain.. but you can get it up and running no problem by reading the install instuctions from Adobe.. they are also working on bring the linux version up to the windows version soon..
