Fuckin Microsoft

* Windows only has so many holes because it is the OS. I'd like to see how linux would fair if it had 90% market domination and millions of hackers trying to break it every day.

actually since most of the hackers contribut to linux the security holes are patch in linux b4 they are exploited

No joke, every day i'd get about 5-6 e-mails about security holes in pacakges like glib and other crap like that.....

glib and those packages would only apply if u used a gui to linux if ya have a server goin ud prob not bother with such GUI crap and just use bash, which in that case it wouldnt apply

u uys arent gettin the point this is just a 'in general' ms is gay think bak to the 9x days now push the VENT button

so ya know u can use cedega,wine and winex to play Win games on Linux

The main question is... do they play WELL... meaning they fully utilize the gfx card and it's ability, no slowdowns, loss of fps or detail?

For FUCKS sake.

MS are REALLY taking the piss now.

If you're not familiar with WGA, you will be soon. If you've been to download DirectX, or Windows Media Player 10 recently, you'll have noticed a box asking you to verify your copy of Windows. This checks the integrity and serial of your Windows installation, making sure you're not running a warezed version.

Currently, the integrity check is optional. By the middle of this year, it won't be.

I mean seriously WTF??

And I love the way MS are trying to say that only the Russians get Warez copies of XP:

"The next thing is that there are holes in activation. For example, in Russia, they have figured out how to hack Windows to get around activation - so end users could end up with a copy of Windows that does not have to activate."

but seriously what is the point. if "the russians" can crack xp then they can certainly get around wmp10 and the inconvenience will drive genuine customers to alternatives such as winamp anyway!!

 

[Joe]

the russians can do more than jus crack WIN XP a lecturer of mine went to a russian uni the semesters project: reverse enginner WIN Xp

 

[ionicle_old]

ms is crap, but since theres no alternative, you have to endure it as everyone does, just because its crap, doesnt mean theres a better alternative, and i for one will go with the crowd, and the crowd goes with windows, so will i untill summet better comes along, which i doubt, as microsoft is either neerly or is the biggest company in the world and so we have no alternative that is really viable, i would go with linux, but i dont as in my opinion it aint that good, so i stick with windows as i alredy know it and have no choice really as it is the only one suported by all the p.c games i play on it, and so therfore i stil dont like it, but i have no choise as to weather i use it!

 

[Dav0s]

i have no direect problems with windows as an operating system, i just dont like the way they run their business

If XP wasn't such a resource hog then I would says its a good OS, but it is so its not.

 

[Dav0s]
