Dilbert_X: The X stands for; +1,822|6525|eXtreme to the maX

I think I'll skip Vista and go straight from XP to 7.

Vista on my parent's PC has been remarkably disappointing, from the general slowness on a brand new, reasonable spec PC to bizarre user account problems.

Third party support was shit.
'Congratulations on buying a Dell PC! Enclosed is your new wireless adaptor - which has no Vista driver. Suggest downloading one from the internet if its been written yet - which you can't do since you don't have a working wireless adaptor - enjoy!'

Also never seen a windows update bomb before.

Will take the decision if and when BF3 comes out and which platform it requires.

Fuck Israel

You're so blinded by your hate for Vista. I haven't had a single BSOD since XP. There's nothing ignorant about what he says, you're just a sheep that's still stuck on what the media wrote about Vista 3 years ago. It's a very different beast these days.
First off I don't hate Vista. Second I had BSODs on Vista but not on XP. Media? What media, I installed Vista twice and was disappointed every time. Maybe your and my expectations from an OS are different, I find Vista to be a "prebeta" version of Windows 7 which is superior to Vista in terms of stability and reliability in a way that Vista was never to XP.
You do hate Vista, you take every opportunity you can get to bash it. I don't know when you used Vista, however post-Service Pack 1 Vista is vastly improved. I can't really tell you how bad it was prior to that because I didn't install it until then. I had no major issues with it, save for Creative sound drivers, and if a program crashes it recovers from it much better than XP ever did. Vista in it's current form is essentially a slightly less responsive version of Windows 7, without a few of the features MS have added for 7.

I certainly don't love Vista. Never had any driver issues you speak of. But all sorts of programs crashed or become unresponsive at least twice a day. Really don't see why anyone would still use Vista since Windows 7 is superior in every possible way and free till March 2010.

I would be on W7 if I could find which link from the thousands there are is the correct one, and if they fixed the punkbuster error.

BF2 works fine in Win7 if that's what you're asking. In regard to finding the latest install you're on your own. If a 12 year old kid I know was able to find it so can you. Or not...

I've got the first beta on a HDD, it actually still works and all, but Punkbuster doesn't work with it so meh.

I don't want to go downloading so many GB for it to be the wrong one. Link me to what you got?

You could try this, released today I think by accident by a Microsoft employee if I understood correctly: Windows Tiny7 Rev01 Unattended Activated CD-eXPerience

Windows Tiny7 Rev01 Unattended Activated CD (x86)

________________________________________________________________________

Thank you for trying Windows Tiny7 Rev01.

Based on: Windows 7 Ultimate x86 build 6.1.7600.16399

- INSTALLING
- FIXES
- STATISTICS

INSTALLING

To install Windows Tiny7 from this CD, set your PC
up so it will boot from the CD-ROM in the PC's BIOS.

There is no upgrade option available in Tiny7, because the option
is removed.

Only install Tiny7 onto a freshly formatted partition or hard disk.

You do not need any product key in this release - the installation
of Tiny7 is unattended, apart from in the very beginning where you
choose which drive or partition to install to.

All installations are set to US English. If you do not want the US
keyboard settings, you will have to change this in Windows when it
has installed (as opposed to choosing it at install time), its easy
enough, just open the "Keyboard Settings" folder in the desktop
eXPerience folder and read the included ReadMe.txt that is there.

________________________________________________________________________

Well yes, I've used 7 since about March and it's a lot better. But that's not to say Vista was bad once they'd sorted most of the bugs out. Driver issues were just being a pain the ass to install. When did you use Vista though? Either you're hugely exaggerating, or you were using an unpatched version. Believe me, I wouldn't say I liked the OS if things crashed twice a day.

I'm fine with all your other comments about OSX. It is a better operating system than Windows, and will most likely stay that way for a long time. That is, if you are just a normal PC user and not a gamer. Designing is best on Macs, developing can be done on either, casual shit is best on macs, games are best on PC. In terms of usability and accessibility we all know that OSX wins hands down, just some people would rather not accept that. Even so, nobody can deny that Windows 7 is a huge leap forward for Microsoft, and looks like there will be a lot more to offer from them in later stages. It's the best MS operating system yet.

I don't agree with that comment though, Windows Media Player is quite a fantastic little player. I would put it on par, if not above iTunes. Yeah, sure, iTunes has all the iPod integrated shit and the Store, and Genius and Cover Flow, but they are just extras. Media Player is fast, responsive and very very easy to use.

Pre SP and SP1. They were promising so much to be fixed with the release of SP1 and I was so disappointed that I never gave the SP2 a try. Hugely exaggerating would mean I'm lying which I'm not. It seems Vista works good for some and bad for others. Vista SP1 was even worse than pre service pack Vista for me. Never got BF2 to work in Business edition, lots of people have same issue with Vista Business.

it's still significantly slower than itunes is on osx (snow leopard), and crashes with all sorts of stupid plug-in problems, and periodically goes unresponsive or bugs out in a multitude of ways. i've lost count of the times ive 'closed' wmp, only to carry on hearing my music in the background because the wmp.exe process refuses to die. have never had a single problem with itunes on osx, ever. it's just that general feeling of stability and rapidity that gives the user a feel of a better experience.

You must be on Vista as in XP I haven't encountered a problem with WMP in the past 3 years. Used it for ripping audio only though.
