  1. Re:huh on Google Says Vista Search Changes Not Enough · · Score: 0

    "Google's complaint came just a few days after Microsoft called for antitrust regulators to scrutinize the search company's planned $3.1-billion (U.S.) acquisition of online ad service DoubleClick Inc."

    That may have something to do with it.

    Correction:
    I cant wait for the 32 HD DVD ultimate collectors edition!

    Sony's got the PS3 to push Blu-Ray on us, Microsoft has Windows to push HD DVD.

    Personally I think both will fail. Sony sucks and HD DVD doesn't have enough repeating letters. I'll just wait for HHD DVVDD BVD's, they'll go perfectly with my gas powered internet enabled blow dryer (with built-in mp3 player of course).

    Ha! I love how Linux is always the instant fix on Slashdot. I've had more trouble with Linux than with Windows on 3 of my computers.

    • Problem 1: A few distros of Linux and my Dell. Had problems with the graphics chipset and I couldn't start Linux. Windows had problems, but was able to run at 640x480, 16 colors until I was able to download the updated driver.
    • Problem 2: I have an old PII laptop with 128 MB of RAM. I figured Linux would be faster than Windows. I still don't know if it actually is. I did some searches for a light Linux distro and found Kubuntu. I loaded it into my laptop and all I got was a blank desktop.
    • Problem 3: Ubuntu 6.10 and my custom built computer. I needed use Linux to unbrick my Sansa. I had to compile a program on it, but needed to download some packages first. I couldn't download them. Why? Ubuntu didn't recognize the on-board LAN. I had to get the NIC from my Dell to get it to work.
    • Problem 4: Edgy didn't like me, I thought the Fawn might. Nope, seems that Fawns like FDDs, too bad I don't have one. No fix yet for this it seems.

    So, in conclusion:
    Windows = :)
    Linux = >:(

    Thanks for that, but your advice came a little too late for me.

    1: Less performance than XP. I've actually had quite the opposite experience. I was using Vista on my new computer but, after having problems with C&C 3 crashing everytime I closed it, I went back to XP. I found that until I turned off all the visual effects and disabled unnecessary services, it actually was slower than Vista.
