If there is a god he will move this thread to the bin so I can stop restraining myself with you. STOP ADDING MEANING TO MY POSTS THAT ISN'T OTHERWISE THERE. I didn't bash any linux distro. Some linux distros are designed to be desktop OS's, I gave Ubuntu as an example only as it is most prominant. More Linux distros are designed to be servers. This is not bashing. This is simply the way things are.

Yeah, the differences include much more DRM, Microsoft sold what was left of their soul for Hollywood money.

Bandwagon bull*****. I haven't had to modify my media usage habits one iota in using Vista, and my media libraries are extensive (this is as overt as I will be on emuforum in respect for the rules, but I guess you'll understand my meaning)

Oh, yeah, tell that to the dead burnt laptops I have seen, Vista uses more resources, it is a fact, and yes, Vista can run on that comp, but considering that XP or Linux would run with no slowdowns at all why would you. It is like the many retarded Computer "technicians" that I have seen that installed XP on a comp running with 128Mb of RAM and a Pentium II and say that the 15min it takes for the comp to start up is normal (NO it's not, it's paging the already old HDD to death!)

*facepalm* just...stop. Vista isn't going to burn out a goddamn laptop. If a laptop is dead it already had a hardware problem....Vista didn't cause it. Yes Vista has higher hardware requirements. Every future OS will. This is common bloody sense. But Vista's hardware requirements are hugely exaggerated by bandwagon haters. And, really, 1GB recommended is nothing today. 4GB of ram is $100 nowadays.
