carguy, it's because windows is windows. if it was a distro if linux, he'd be using it long before now. kona's been ragging on windows forever. he hated xp when it was released but now loves it. he now hates vista but only because his system can't handle it. some people have it in their minds that upgrades aren't sometimes needed when switching to a newer OS. he'll find a reason to bash windows 7 before long even though he's never used it.

kona, on a side note, i'm very happy for you and your wife on your marriage. i sincerely hope you two remain happy for the rest of your lives. everyone deserves to find happiness. congrats!

Pas you are wrong. I have been using Windows far more than Linux all these years. The longest I used Linux for my main OS was two weeks. I don't hate Windows. I don't hate Vista. I'm not afraid to upgrade.

Get your facts straight.

Here's a fact...

Ah.. and another similar fact which leads one to believe differently that "I don't hate Windows".

Hmmm, what have we here.. more anti-windows ... facts?

Those are just the straight facts from here, and only a very small portion of them. Your beloved google will reveal many more too. I say Pas is 100% on target and has his facts as straight as an arrow.

Yet when I posted all those replies I was using Windows. As I said I only used Linux as my main OS for 2 weeks. I just say anti-Windows things to stir the pot.

Get a clue.

Now leave me alone.

Remember my comment about being a troll? That is exactly the kind of thing a troll does. Perhaps you should re-evaluate your interaction with the site

You're deliberately stirring the pot so to speak and eliciting troll like behavior, now you want to be left alone?

Constant, neverending, year after year flip flopping comments and NOW you want to be left alone when it's pointed out.

Well, get over it! It isn't about YOU. It's about "getting the facts straight". I believe that's been done clearly so there's no need to continue with this particular event.

actually, i think i had my facts straight, terry. you've bashed windows and intel rigs for years. you complained for months on irc about win xp when it was released or when you first started using it as being a memory hog. then, for vista, you complained about it when you had never used it. now, you've already started on win 7 and you know nothing about it since you have yet to use it. who needs to get their facts straight?

Fuzzy: I'm not going to quit coming to WC. Feel free to ignore me. I am trying to change my ways.

Phoon and Pas: That was the past. Live and let live. You called me on it and your right. I'm sorry. I'll make a better effort to be a better member here instead of stiring the pot and bsahing things I have no knowledge about.

Fair enough?

Come on guys. Give me a break here. I'm really trying to be a better person.

Way I see it is Win 7 is likely the first MS OS that HASN'T needed a SP1 to be useable....

The full RTM of Ultimate works just fine....straight out of the box....

I'll be waiting till you break it before upgrading - why bark yourself when you have a dog to do it for you

Turns out I have a friend who has the Windows 7 RC that he couldn't use because of his very old hardware. I'll run that for now. Should solve my issues. Thanks guys.

Live and learn I guess. I know I've been a pain to deal with.

woof

I would recommend going for the 90 trial of the RTM Version. Yrag's reply #28 has the link.

Thank you Phoon. After I get my burner working today I will look into it.
