I understand what you are saying, but I think you are missing my point. Without the (end) user base, which is using x86 and x64 programs... It will not gain support. Windows is what a majority of users use whether we like it or not. If Windows doesn't run on it, how will it get market share? We've already found through Dell's efforts (among others) that Ubuntu doesn't work out when users are expecting the same ole desktop they've always had.
I'll check when I get in tonight. I've honestly not tried (why try, no HD screen). I'd imagine it would stutter horribly. There is an HD version of the same trailer (from the same source I believe), so it should be apples to apples comparison.
So? There are 4.6 billion tonnes of natural uranium dissolved in the sea.
There you have it. NATURAL uranium isn't the same as "unspecified" nuclear toxic waste. The waste could even be enriched! We don't know what it's dissipation rate is in salt or any other kind of water. It's also important to note this was within the Mediterranean Sea, not in the much larger Atlantic Ocean. To the best of my knowledge, it's got only a few outlets to the ocean... It would take a bit longer for it to dissipate.
Some of the wrecks in question were found 18 miles (or was it km?) off the coast. Waste would be washing up on populated beaches.
You'll end end with three boobed women on the nude beaches...
Can't image that the 60Mhz difference between the two cores (N270 vs. N280) would make that much of a difference. I can tell you that I did have Win7 installed at one point and the stuttering stayed no matter what I disabled (hence the switch to WinXP SP3 Pro).
Just to verify I was correct in my previous posts, I just went to Youtube.com and tested with the non-HD "Tron Legacy" trailer (on my ASUS 1000HE) and it played without a hitch, studder or dropped frame. I do have the newest version of Flash. I do have a cohert in my office who has an intel referance tablet/netbook convertible (N270 based) which studders horribly on the very same video (tested while making this very post). They must have changed something more between the two cores than I know of. It's still the same graphics chip. Dunno what to make of my real world test. 60Mhz shouldn't make any difference at all.
On second thought... Complainers about the stuttering: Do you have it plugged in while this is occurring? Many of these netbooks drop to lower performance levels to save battery life while unplugged. If plugged in, see my previous post.
Don't think so. I'm currently using an ASUS EEE 1000HE (N280 I believe). I have no issues with flash videos stuttering for SD content (pretty sure Hulu uses flash throughout). Bear in mind I have wiped off XP Home, upgraded to 2GB of RAM and installed XP Pro, additionally disabling the services I don't use on a daily basis. Prior to the re-install and disabling of services the stutter was there and quite pronounced. Google Earth gave me problems (rendered horribly slow) prior to the re-install as well, now works great.
For those who don't know which services to turn off... Deal with the stuttering. If you are still brave enough to try, this is a good beginners guide to disabling some of the services in question (stick to the "SAFE" configuration): http://www.blackviper.com/WinXP/servicecfg.htm
Honest opinion; I have a Quad-core "dream machine" I built that is useless save for gaming and re-encoding video now. I typically only use the netbook and my HTPC.
Not really. To the best of my knowledge EMPs of a usable power (non-nuclear versions do exist) use a nuke as the primary. Nuclear detonations (even as far back as the 60s and 70s) are easily detectable from space and there would be a huge outcry from the international community. You might as well blamed it on leprechauns.
That's been my experience too. I have Win7 on my lappy (945GM) right now. It runs pretty well but the tearing does get to me... Especially when watching video. Win7 (Beta and later RC1) was originally loaded only as a test for the lower boundaries of Aero. I still haven't reverted to XP and I'm picky.
I'm relaxed... I hear BS about Vista all day from my clients of whom 90% probably have never seen it let alone used it. Didn't mean to come off hot if that's how you took it. Vista isn't very obtrusive... Once you turn off stuff like UAC (if you don't want it), Sidebar, etc. Vista, like all other OSes just needs a bit of TLC after install.
That being said, I own a Mac and two *nix machines (Fedora and Ubuntu). I use my Vista boxes more than anything else due to the games, the media center functionality (Sage TV is not a viable option compared to VMC) and general surfing.
Not entirely sure of the legality but give K-Lite Codec pack a shot (search for "Edskes File Download Mirror" in Google). There is some setup required which probably shouldn't be handled by an end-user, but this pack handles most codec needs. For everything it doesn't, VLC.
Yes, on the computers I'm complaining about I am the only user. I left UAC alone on the computer I built for my parents for obvious reasons. UAC is probably fine for a standard user, but it drives me crazy... Thankfully it's easy to disable.
That's why I've always told my client base to wait for at least the first service pack on any new MS OS before purchasing.
I see your tag... Never had any problems in *nix with a new release? I have!
It's like any other OS (including XP). I have to spend a fair amount of time removing stock components and disabling services to get it to where I'm happy. If run stock, I can understand how you'd take a pretty big performance hit.
Hahaha... No, have not and likely will not implement Vista in the office. Though I love it for home use, XP works fine at the office and we'll be skipping over this product cycle at least. More from the standpoint that we don't need to upgrade and I'm lazy more than anything else.
No... Not a real notable difference depending on what HW you have. I ran Vista x86 before not having all my RAM started bugging me. A few old school games (the original Homeworld comes to mind) worked better but other than that pretty much the same. I seem to remember the x86 version not using signed drivers, but I may be wrong.
You'll get no qualms from me. Early adopters get what they deserve. I'm unfortunately put into that position quite a bit... I'm top tier tech support, so I need to learn new OSes when they're released. Haven't had any real issues with 64bit save for the driver issue and PG2 mentioned earlier. That being said, I wouldn't run Vista 64bit on anything less than a C2Duo, 4GBs RAM and a discreet video card. If you don't have that, you'd be best served sticking with XP until Win7 (I've found the beta and RC1 to work well with slightly older hardware).
LOL, they branded me as a troll already for talking about the way things are. Thankfully, some people out there have real experience with it.
You are correct, UAC is horrible... I disable it on all my machines save for the laptop I cart around. If you haven't checked it out yet (I just start using it 3 days ago), take a look at the Media Center component. With a few plugins and a TV card, I've built the best HTPC I've ever seen. Didn't expect MS to build something like that and not have it on the fore-front. The only lingering issue I have at this point (now that SP2 fixed Bluetooth) is that Peer Guardian still seems off in 64bit. I guess I'll be sticking with VMware a bit longer to emulate XP.
Slashdot Mirror
Well it can handle that just fine. I use the thing like a DVD-less DVD player. It runs everything I've found at screen resolution or less.

Well, you wouldn't necessarily expect x86 support on a non x86 architecture, would you.
Only when they are comparing to Intel (as they are). Can't see how it could slay Intel's hold if it's not competing in their market.

I'm guessing that means it doesn't (can't) do most of what an ATOM can do. No x86 support is kind of a dealbreaker.

Obama closed Gitmo and released them all. Hence the crash. Horrible.

Wow, looked at some of his previous posts... He's like that in most every one. Good stuff if you need a laugh.

Seconded. It's a graphically accelerated OS. Cannot imagine running Vista on anything but discreet graphics.
Then stick with XP... From 10 years ago. You don't need new features or better handling of HW resources right?
Hahaha... No, have not and likely will not implement Vista in the office. Though I love it for home use, XP works fine at the office and we'll be skipping over this product cycle at least. More from the standpoint that we don't need to upgrade and I'm lazy more than anything else.
