Good luck switching. I don't mean that sarcastically. I installed Ubuntu on my laptop and spent hours getting things to work properly. I tried to get my wireless card to work but I don't even understand the first step!
Hello, Mr. Gullible, I'm T-Bone-T. Nice to meet you. Half the stuff you've read is probably a lie and the other half greatly exaggerated. How do I know? I am running Vista on my laptop with a 2.4GHz P4, 1GB RAM, and 32MB graphics card and I've never experienced what most people complain about.
It is my experience that if you mess with something you didn't create or is somewhere that anyone can access, you will encounter UAC. Many programs put an icon on the desktop when you install them but the icons get put in the public desktop. Deleting those summons the UAC but you won't see it if you put something on the desktop because it gets put on your own desktop. I believe most of the reasons it comes up is because programs don't do only what they should, as you can see in my desktop icon example.
SEOs know what works and doesn't, until Google changes the algorithm. Now you're ranked at the bottom with only the knowledge that something somewhere changed.
Not true at all. You aren't looking at the facts. The fact is it takes more brainpower to listen to someone on the phone than to listen to someone in the car.
I don't think you really understand. You have a certain amount of system resources. Vista wants to use as many of those resources as possible to give you the best experience it can. At the same time, though, it will readily hand over those resources to another program to, again, give you the best experience it can. Good news, Vista doesn't have to use video memory. You can turn off the fluff. You don't have to work around it. Like I said, in case you missed it, Microsoft is not stupid. You think they didn't think about these things?
Vista is smart enough to realize that the OS UI isn't visible, thus doesn't need to be rendered. My point is that Vista will use what your programs aren't using. If you aren't using the RAM or video memory, why should it sit unused? If a program needs more video memory or RAM from Vista, it will give it to the program. Microsoft isn't stupid.
I would like to point out that M1A1 Abrams tanks even have a laser that measures the droop of the gun. These guys are in the profession of arms, they know what they are doing and all I know is it is very impressive.
One less-obvious thing that hasn't been mentioned is the huge distance an attacking force would have to cover just to get to the carrier. You know those pictures of a full carrier group plowing along with the ships right next to each other? They only did that for the picture and spend most of the time at least several miles away from each other.
Let me get this straight. You have XMB of video memory. With Vista running, 1/2XMB of video memory is being used to draw what is either on the screen or might be on the screen soon. Were you trying to use XMB of video memory for something else but couldn't? The only problem with using 1/2XMB video memory is the other half is going unused.
There's just one problem with that thinking. It assumes that all oil gets turned into gasoline. It is only one of many products that are all more expensive because of rising oil costs.
No one is debating how much oil there is(maybe a little), all I've heard for the last couple years is how the refineries can't refine the oil fast enough. The environmentalists must be rich because they keep trying to shut down any plans to build more refineries to keep up with demand.
Who got a UAC prompt from trying to print on a network printer and why haven't I gotten one? I upgraded my XP box to 1GB of RAM and saw a huge increase in performance, so I don't really understand your gripe.
If you look at where that icon is located, you'll find it only prompts you when it is a public icon. I can drag stuff on the desktop and delete it all day long without encountering UAC but it will usually pop up the second I try to delete an icon an installer put there.
Nice try, but we both know that UAC does not require a password if the user is a member of the Administrators local group (which is by default the first user account created on the machine when you install it). Or maybe you can tell us where one types the password in here? Try reading his post. He explains it. Steve Jobs was right when he said people don't read.

Nope, that would be retarded. UAC doesn't pop up unless you are changing something that goes beyond your own profile.

In Hollywood, if you get a bad review, you at least know why you got a bad review: it is in the review itself!
There are indeed differences and talking with a real person isn't always safer but it is safer for normal, two-way conversation.

That's funny! My computer is a laptop.

Weird, I find it completely useable on my 2.4GHz P4, 32MB video card, and 1GB RAM.

Does Anyone else find the choice of Capitalized words in the summary Interesting?
Maybe it is just me, but 13" isn't that big. You say it is a whole 13" but simple conversion reveals it to be just over 1' wide.

Hmm...I wonder why no one really wants to actually use E85. You get worse mileage and spend even more on fuel. Who wants that?

The fact that Microsoft hasn't yet implemented them might mean they don't want to. I strongly doubt they can't implement it.

More regurgitation about UAC. How do I know? I have Vista and it rarely comes up and only in situations that clearly call for it.
