It's better than Windows 8 too, especially for gaming.

until the other day when I was watching my girlfriend toy on her computer which has Vista, I never knew it had something similar to the WEI that 7 has  :O

but I enjoy 7 much more then Vista.

There is a reason why Vista and Virus both start with a 'V' and have the same number of letters in the names.  

They are really that close to each other.

Coinky-dink?  I think not.


Not that I care much for Windows 7.

There's a word in Finnish offensive language, which also starts with "Vi" and has the same number of letters, meaning the female genital organ. It's often used with an attitude when something goes adrift, badly. Us geeks between we often call it "Visva" which translates to "Pus". Not something you'd like to lay your hands on... And changing places of the two middle letters gives us "Vitsa", "twig" or "birch", something to whip ourselves with to make amends for our sins...

Coinky-dink?  I think not.

Just an FYI.  If you are still on the fence about upgrading from Windows XP and/or Windows Vista, please grab Windows 7, instead of waiting for Windows 8.

Windows 8 is endowed with higher overheads (i.e. more bloat) and will be the first OS from Microsoft which will allow Microsoft complete control over your computer.  They will be able to add or remove software, without your knowledge.  It will allow them to provide detailed information, to any law enforcement agency, about what you have installed and/or removed.  Where you have been on the Internet, and so on.

So, how's HTC coming with that linux port for Aces High?   :(

We're going to need it sooner, rather than later, it seems.

Windows 8 . . . will allow them to provide detailed information, to any law enforcement agency, about what you have installed and/or removed.  Where you have been on the Internet, and so on.

Yeah but they have to in order to cover their butts when people are prosecuted for sharing copyrighted material.  They did in fact provide the operating system that allowed it to happen!  There's no reason Bill Gates shouldn't be in jail for doing such a heinous crime!

RIAA and MPAA should be disbanned and prosecuted themselves. AOL, WB, CNET, tons of the subsidiaries of the very same people that got the PIPA and SOPA so far, are the ones that enabled, distributed, and encouraged sharing of the VERY same media they turn around and prosecute people for sharing. I mean like AOL sharing open DRM-free MP3s of chart toppers and even providing exclusive links hosted on CNET downloads to all kinds of file sharing software including Kazaa, and RECOMMENDING it to visitors.

These are the very same people that argue in a court of law such software has only 1 purpose: Illegally downloading copyrighted material, and anybody using it or sharing it should be put in jail.

Well, then we should put them in jail. For 10 years they've been spreading their own material, then they turn around and shout to the senators "SEE!! We're being pirated! Stop this!"

So to have them even dictate 1 iota of a part of a feature for a PC operating system such as Microsoft is underhanded and seemingly illegal unto itself. Laws shouldn't be made this way, and neither should operating systems. That's why Vista blew chunks. RIAA/MPAA designed it for MS to code.

That applies only for metro apps. No need to panic yet.
