What OS are you using?

Let it be recorded in history that at 11:49 PM, June 12 2008, A Guy finally installed Windows XP on his computer.

I'm SO happy...

Fletch_Talon · Jun 13, 2008 3:58 AM

lucky, im still stuck with vista... on a HP computer that will probably crash every 3 months for the rest of its life

Spyrorocks · Jun 13, 2008 5:17 AM

i agree... oh well, at least it stillplays WoW... just not spacecowboy, or enemy territories... and it wont play the cutscenes in never winter nights...

and it crashed because i D/Led quicktime

and it makes using the nintendo wifi adapter for my Wii and DS a huge hassel

oh and because its vista home basic it doesnt even come with the pretty looking aero features... so why does it exist exactly >_>

Congratulations, A guy! big_smile

What's wrong with Windows Vista?

OSSpyro · Jun 13, 2008 2:50 PM

I got vista,it crashes all the time but it doesnt kill my hard drive or memory.at least it can run halo1 with some mods and the sims2.

CynderFan101 · Jun 13, 2008 4:57 PM

Vista? My aunt has that.

Doppelgangergang · Jun 13, 2008 5:00 PM

Vista isn't that bad if you got all updates installed.

But I'm going to trade my Vista laptop for an XP one. My dad needs my vista! :-[

Let it also be known that he created a useless thread on the Spyro the Dragon forums on that day

Doppelgangergang · Jun 13, 2008 5:22 PM

Not really useless... Some people announce senseless stuff, and we have fun. big_smile

No, it really is useless. In fact, isn't a thread like this considered spam and therefore not allowed?

Here's why it's useless: the fact he has XP on his computer relates solely to him, and there's really nothing for us to discuss about.

All I'll say is that in practically every other forum I've ever joined, a thread like this would get you banned, or at least warned

Doppelgangergang · Jun 13, 2008 5:33 PM

Well, if it's SPAM, SR could have moved it to SPAM section...

This coming from the guy who has been here for 3 days. This isn't one of the super-strict forums. Doppel's right, we come here to have fun. Some topics may be Spam but this isn't that bad.

The only thing I could suggest is that you change the name to "What OS are you using?" That would let users discuss along with you telling them of your accomplishment.

Yeah, that would be a good idea. Anyone else agrees?

Windows Vista is about the worst OS ever. It's slow, annoying, and you have to buy all new software. Microsoft shouldn't even try anymore. They've made crap lately: Vista, Yahoo, Xbox 360.

P.S. Xbox 360 is an awesome gaming system. I am referring to the 33% failing rate which is horrific.

More like 7%.

Also, I'm currently running windows XP like any red-blooded man.

Doppelgangergang · Jun 13, 2008 10:11 PM

I'm using Vista. Just get all the patches - required, optional, recommended - and it runs great.

Plus I tried a demo unit of an XB360 at the store, never liked the controls. I like the Playstation controller.

I mean over all. Last year it was at 30%, now it's around 10%. It still is horrific.

Well then, 90% of people who bought a PC within the last year aren't red blooded because all new computers at major retailers come loaded with Vista.

Doppelgangergang · Jun 13, 2008 10:17 PM

You can get dead XB360s for cheap...

Is the Vista of yours that bad? Come on, fix it! big_smile

DragonFireOKN · Jun 13, 2008 10:37 PM

All Vista is bad. You can't fix a terrible system. It would be easier, cheaper, and less risky to pay $50 for my uncle to rip Vista off and put XP back on.

But I just did.

DragonFireOKN · Jun 13, 2008 10:57 PM

Your ways of "fixing" things can cause terrible results if one thing goes wrong. Then if you have a problem and send it back to M$, they laugh at you and send it back without even attempting to fix it.
