Windows 7... and IE8!

by **JPB18** 2009-03-03, 16:57

Ok... everyone knows that the beta of the next Microsoft great release is out, right? So... I got it! I'm testing it right now! It's excelent! Although my computer was made for windows XP... it can handle Windows 7 with the same ease! Of course that sometimes it crashes, but... it's just a beta! And IE8! Nothing related to it's predecessors! It works like Firefox with an IE skin! WMP 12 is the worst thing here... I can't make it play MP3, because the codecs aren't available! Oh... and it seems that my Creative Soundblasters still don't work, but that's a Work In Progress...

It's awsome! I will now try to put some 3rd party aplications... But still... wow!

Windows?
...Good?
You cant use those in the same sentence..its impossible...TELL ME IT ISN'T POSSIBLE!

by me naam is m 2009-03-03, 17:03

Failure is not an option. it comes bundled with your Microsoft product.

by **JPB18** 2009-03-03, 17:04

That it's possible! It's 3 times better than XP and 10 times better than Vista! And it is still a Beta! Also, this kinda reminds me of kubuntu...

by Shemuel 2009-03-03, 17:05

Well if it is, then MNIM will have to accept it.

by Insane Crayon 2009-03-03, 17:10

IE will never be better than Firefox, but you can stick with it if you wish. Meh, IE is still Interwebs Exploder for me. I don't like IE8 anyway.

by me naam is m 2009-03-03, 17:11

maybe they just cloned linux and firefox and reskinned them

BURN THEM!

oh wait, that would be awesome... that's a breach of the license agreement! then we should be able to sue Microsoft for every single cent he's got!

You really hate them, right?

...says the previously Linux enthusiastic.

by Galaxy-Scarface 2009-03-03, 17:46

...turned windows enthusiastic... :O

by **JPB18** 2009-03-03, 17:51

Well... I was an linux entusiastic, but I never hated microsoft (Indeed, I love their Halo series!)

by Philly Homer 2009-03-03, 17:57

As of now Microsoft is better than Nintendo. That is all.

by Darkjedi 2009-03-03, 20:11

Well, like I've said before, if things turn out right, Crackersoft will probably make Windows 7 one of there best operating systems, if not their best.

But...

IE8 is still going to suck though, when compared with Firefox.

Because of it's community base, Firefox will continue to trump IE in almost every way.

I'm still a Linux loyalist.

Actually, I had a dream last night that I set up a dual boot on my computer.

(It's sad I'm dreaming of such things.)

Heck, I actually might end up dual booting with a linux distro soon.

I showed my mom a live disk of Slax, and she liked that.

So, for my parent's sake, I'll probably get something with KDE.

Any suggestions?

Yes it is. Quite abnormal, actually.

by Darkjedi 2009-03-03, 20:15

Well, the night before it was a little bit more reasonable dream.

It's like I was on the enterprise, but at the same time I was at mike callingers (some guy I know) party trying to find a place away

from the party to have sex with some girl. LOL!

I never got to though.

But, in the end I got my face melted off randomly.

Some dream, eh?

Sounds like a Sarah Connor dream from the Terminator series where everyone's skin is melted off from a nuclear blast.

by Darkjedi 2009-03-03, 20:21

Sure.....

But, going from trying to find an empty room at a party on the enterprise, which looked like Mike Callinger's house, to getting your

face melted is pretty bazzare.

by Philly Homer 2009-03-03, 20:23

So is randomly sitting in a park watching a younger version of you play with your son. But I digress.

Back on topic. People at my school have tried the beta version of Windows 7 and have said it's better than Vista (no way!)

by Darkjedi 2009-03-03, 20:25

You know what else is better than Vista?

Going 130 MPH on the highway.

That's WAY better.

Oh, and there's Linux Ubuntu too...

by Earthdeath 2009-03-03, 21:07

How many computers are Microsoft going to make before they realize that no one uses them anymore?

by **Darkwing** 2009-03-03, 21:08

um, don't know about where your from, but around here, windows is the main pc on the market

by Earthdeath 2009-03-03, 21:10

same here, but it is changing.Thank god.No more random crashes/blue screens.

Gnome seems to be more user friendly.

Yes, I know.

I've revised my thoughts.

I'll try them out on Ubuntu, but I'll move the bar thingy to the bottom, so that it feels a little bit more like Windows.

by me naam is m 2009-03-04, 13:24

ehm... weren't there two bar thingies? scratch

by Darkjedi 2009-03-04, 13:44

Yep.

I'll take a screenshot to show you what I mean.

Indeed... still think the Ubuntu is better than Seven but two factors make him (Seven) worse:

1st: It's from Microsoft...

2nd: IT'S STILL A FREAKING BETA! (But also who knows that Microsoft wont do the same crap has in Longhorn?)

by me naam is m 2009-03-04, 13:55

ah yes, i remember longhorn.

by **JPB18** 2009-03-04, 13:58

For those who don't know what Longhorn was it was the Code name of Vista...

by me naam is m 2009-03-04, 14:36

Meh. I still Can't believe they pulled that &$^%$@#(*^%#
