Tell me, how is iTunes supposed to tell an mp3 you've created from one downloaded from the internet? The ID3 tags will be different but that is easily changed and isn't reliable. Besides, how exactly do you create a recording on an iPod? I wasn't aware of that functionality.
It looks worse? My laptop isn't capable of running Aero and I still think XP looks ancient compared to Vista. Vista's attention to metadata makes it so much easier to use, as well.
I think you got a little confused. The Touch does NOT have a hard drive. It has two flash chips for storage(the iPhone has one chip). What he was saying is that you can't transfer files to an iPod Touch like it is a hard drive, you can only transfer media to it through iTunes.
My fiance just got an electric bill that is as big as my apartment's bill. The funny part is, she lives alone and hardly even turns on the TV, I live with two other guys and we have stuff running all the time.
Who pissed in you cheerios? It didn't sound like he got a laptop to run Linux, he got a laptop and THEN decided to run Linux. You Linux fans are getting more and more pissy. It is funny how Ububuntu is free but what I've been hearing lately is "buy hardware that works with Linux". Why don't I just buy hardware that works with Vista out of the box and just not worry about all the hassles like dual-monitor setups.
You sound as bad a Apple fanboys. A gift? Oh please. There you go with that "buy more shit" bullshit. I got a free OS so I wouldn't have to spend money, dumbass. What good would it do to whine to the manufacturers? They won't listen, they already have my money. Why should they spend their money to give me free drivers for an OS that few people use?
I want to use Ubuntu but it is too much of a hassle. I put in my time, which is not free, and for all that I have an OS that only mostly works. At this point, Vista is more economical, at least it just works and I don't have to cobble together solutions that may or may not work.
Good idea. I'll spend money on a new card that will work with Ubuntu.
Why the fuck would I do that when the card I do have works fine in Vista along with everything else I need. You Linux people have some of the dumbest suggestions. Open your eyes and grow a brain.
What is it with Linux users and bad suggestions? I've struggled through getting one distro to work, a distro that is know for its ease of use, and now you want me to try a different one? Why the fuck do you think I would want to put myself through all that again?
It is the forums that I regularly refer to for answers. Unfortunately, the answer might be three steps but the first step might have 5 sub-steps that I have to look up somewhere else. I like computers and I like to look up how to get something to work but this is just too much. I want a stable system that works and looks the same way from boot to boot, Ubuntu just hasn't provided that. Vista didn't drive me to Ubuntu. If anything, Ubuntu has driven me back to Vista. I enjoy consistency and that's what Vista has given me.
That's how I feel. Vista easily recognizes my hardware and monitors and adjusts accordingly. Ubuntu 7.10, not so much. I think I might have finally gotten Ubuntu to work properly with my monitors but the last time I said that it stopped working. Vista readily detects if I have one or two monitors going and adjusts accordingly. I want to like Ubuntu, the DIVX playback is far superior, but I just can't handle the constant hassles.
I would be absolutely delighted if you could point out where I said Office 2007 files were compatible with older versions of Office.
Maybe I should be fired for not posting everything I think on the internet so idiots like you can try to feel superior. Of course there is more to buying from a company than placing blame. I'll leave that to someone that has taken more than one business class, which I have not. Everything I know about Office I taught myself. How much retraining could one possibly need? It took me 5 minutes to figure out everything I already knew. How long would it take you, dinosaur?
Not a shill, just a fan of having someone to blame. Just a fan of groups of people working toward one goal. I'm not particularly a fan of people working on something with other motives.
I know that 2007 uses its own format by default, but it isn't their fault you haven't tried "Save As". I guarantee you can save a file in 2007 as an older format.
You are missing what I'm saying. If you use non-OSS, you have someone to blame. Office not working correctly on your XP machine, blame Microsoft. JDK not working on your Sun workstation, blame Sun. Ubuntu not installing, blame uhmm... who do you blame? You might as well blame me or the guy sitting next to you. We might have messed with the code in a subtle way. That's the point of Open Source, right? The community works on it. I'm not a Microsoft shill, I just like having someone to blame when things don't work.
About those things I've never used before, I had no idea Word did cross-references. I was prepared to do it all myself until I saw the option in the Ribbon. I've been doing it myself for years with the other versions. I like being able to see what I can do rather than go hunting for it.
Concerning Office 2007, you must really be stuck in the past. I have no problem with file formats and everything I use is much easier to find. I even find myself using things I never would have used with 2003 because I had no idea they were there!
One thing to consider when switching a business to Linux, who takes the blame when the software doesn't work correctly?
Well, Ms. Gullible, what most Vista users are doing wrong is buying a computer with Vista on it that I wouldn't even put XP on. They are also messing around with stuff they shouldn't be messing with. That is why UAC keeps popping up. I only see UAC maybe once per week.
What it boils down to is many of the people that are complaining about Vista just aren't very smart people. They are stuck in their ways and have no desire to educate themselves properly.

512 MB of RAM, and Celeron 1.7 GHz
There's your problem. I wouldn't even want to run XP on that.

Insightful? That's a freaking illogical!

You seem to be confusing "like a hard drive" with "is a hard drive".
Another funny story.

I have a screenshot that I took myself of a copy with over 45,000 days remaining. Of course, it finished only 5 minutes later.

I came here to say that, only I couldn't figure out how to say it. Well done.

Are you serious? WTF do you think the first thing I tried was?
Lucky you. I don't even understand the first step to getting my wireless card to work.
You should watch just the commercials. That's what I do because I don't really care about the game.

Wait a minute, new=hurdle? I don't know about you but I learned all sorts of things because the ribbon put them right in front of me.
