Haha, speaking from experience?

I usually have no issue with women. It's more a weakness for Raspberries and Raspberry flavored stuff or Momusu merchandise. If anyone ever found that out, THEN I'd be in trouble. :P

Has anyone installed Windows Vista yet? Or Microsoft 2007? What do you think about them?

Thankfully no. I was in on a Vista & Office 2007 demo session from an MSFT rep and the entire thing locked up multiple times. Sucks for them.

The only thing that HAD been going the way of vista IMHO was the new filesystem they were building. Sucks they removed that one a rather short time into the project.

I know 2 or 3 people who installed Vista. The 3d interface astonishment last for 20 minutes. I'll probably buy it eventually, because of DirectX 10 and the media center features to stream stuff to my xbox 360.

I'm not so sure about the new interface. It needs more colors and transparency. :P

Sorry to interrupt your Windows Vista conversation but I have an e-mail question.

I just sent an e-mail to a friend and got this message back of Delivery Failure Notification:

Reason: SMTP transmission failure has occurred

What exactly is that? My e-mail had many websites links in it. Did that cause the problem?

Nevermind! :bonk: :beaten:

There is at least one URL in your email that is generating substantial complaints from AOL members.

I have seen 2 of myfriend installed vista.. but I still get negative feedback from vista user.. so maybe not for now (well unless there's a dx10 game which I really want to play :hehe:)

Thnx for the replies. I also heard that Vista doesn't allow any "illegal" stuff. I mean, it doesn't let you download any torrents. That just sux! I doubt I will install Vista! The majority of people advise against the installation.

28 Mar 2007, 05:04 #3437

Most of my games won't run on Vista so not going to install it anyway.

I just bought my genuine copy of Windows XP mid last year, and I don't think I'm ready to buy Windows Vista right now.....unless I see good feedbacks about it......which as I can see is not happening. :beaten:
