No, my reading comprehension is just fine, but since you like bringing up shit that is totally unrelated to the discussion, I'll admit I was a bit confused. Either way, this hasn't happened to me since Windows 95's days. You seem to be suggesting that people "Shutdown/Reboot Windows only when necessary" because (according to the witch doctor), your filetable might crash. Got your dealer's number?
there are reasons not to do that on windows. It's not like linux, where that's expected and/or you won't have your filetable crash.
No, it's pretty much exactly like that on Windows too. There is no secret "your MFT will randomly get corrupted because you pressed Hibernate instead of shut down" bug. More FUD.
I'd say a hell of a lot less frequently than once a week! Ideally, you should be able to tell the PC "download and install updates on shutdown" and when you shut it down, the computer downloads and installs the patches you select, then shuts down.
There's no eagerness, I don't know why you're bringing this up. I just said the fact that you pay or not for support should be irrelevant to the fact that you pay or not for the OS (because you brought up Vista for some reason). In either cases, I'd expect better support if I pay than if I don't.
Pretty much repeated what I knew from the start Windows wise, but from what I understood even if you wanted support from Sun you wouldn't even be able offer to pay for it.
I don't agree at all, actually, considering I've just said it simply added a minute or two of setup.
The only thing I can see being harder is finding a server in-between two locations on the world map for optimal ping, which is currently impossible with IWNet.
A Modern Warfare 2 clan? Clans and matchmaking?
So what do you have to do to actually have a war? Add every member of the opposing clan to your friends list and play?
Yes, that's exactly what you do. You form a private match and invite people to it, they select their team and you play without any other players in your way. Is it really that hard to understand?

Which is why telnet is still included in Windows. Good job making uninformed decisions there.
That's exactly his point.

So exactly like it is then? Ok.
I'm making that my next SSID. Kudos to you, good sir.
There is a product called Scotch-Tint that is a EMF reducer for windows.
Does it work on Linux?
The King And The Holy Quest.
Your point?
SSID broadcast and mac address filter do nothing to stop hackers, unfortunately.

Because if you read the news, there won't be any support otherwise.
So because the OS is free they won't accept your cash? Right.
Not just implicit. The first time I ran it on XP, I had to explicitly accept.
And for that matter, most if not all Blizzard games.

They still release security fixes regularly for XP. New features don't really matter at this point, you can use a non-obsolete OS for that.
You know, Microsoft doesn't support ancient EOL OSes like Windows NT or Windows XP, either.
XP is supported until 2014 according to my understanding. Can you clarify?
Nah, they'll make it .lizxazw2010

Sure, you might lose a whole *minute*. *gasp*
It's not like it would change anything if you were running Linux.
