Seems like Duncan is on a bit of a rant here. Why? Does it bother you
that the MS OS has moved beyond Win2k? I hated that OS.

What vent? I wrote nothing. I just forwarded a news story that was
interesting.
Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. I'm not a Vista fan. I agree with Intel
sticking XP. I was just pointing out why MS might be irritated with
Intel. (There is also the fact that when the biggest CPU vendor
ignores your latest OS, that's not a good sign.) Of course, MS is
selling Vista with the slogan

Yes, he's very strong on W2K. And it was a sucky OS, and really is
crap compared to XP. (I'd even consider Vista
Well, the difference is that a copy of XP or OSX comes with support.
Linux gets fairly expensive if you factor in vendor support. And, I'm
not sure if you've ever had the pleasure of dealing with Red Hat
support, but they're terrible. Microsoft support, on the other hand, has
always been

Right. But support from the vendor is still better than no support at all.
Community support is an iffy thing. I asked a simple question on the
dd-wrt forums a few days ago and have not yet even had a response. I've
had the same thing happen on the CentOS forums as well. Sometimes it's
nice
Oh, and the other thing I forgot to mention is that there's not much of
a compelling reason to make every single jump in OS revision.
For example, if you had a OSX Tiger machine, and did not care about Time
Machine or the new dock, there's no super compelling reason to go to
Leopard.

Side cover off causes same problem as water cooling does, not enough airflow to the

Read the Vista lawsuit papers see why Vista was so labatomized by the request of
the the likes of Dell Intel looking to be able to sell their existing hardware
solutions. Then send you business to HP who seems to have happily bit-the-bullet
upgraded their offerings to match original Vista
Hello,
-=Begin cut from previous message=-
Big issue with new mobo's IMHO is despite a plethora of fan temp probe
headers there's a lack of good, free software to control/monitor since MBM is a
dead project.
As sweet as the Asus Rampage is, Q-Fan2 Asus Probe2 software suck. So an
XP had much, much more traction at launch than Vista had. XP, pre SP1,
was infinitely more usable than Vista is post SP1.
My vote for Vista will be that it'll climb in the boat with Me. The UI
changes (aero) are here to stay, but hopefully Win7 will be what XP is
today.
In any case it
I don't believe it is possible to offer real support to the masses
unless you charge big $$$.

I installed Vista Ultimate x64 on a RAID0 disk array of WD Raptors on an
Abit IP35 Pro motherboard. The other disk drives are all SATAII. I notice
the message AHCI Bios Not Installed during the boot sequence. The disk
drives are NOT hot swappable. Reading up on AHCI, it seems this supports hot

I don't miss XP or Vista too very much...

More traction possibly but XP was still lamented until SP2 in favor of 2K. Vista
usability I can not comment on for even though I have a legit Vista Business key

Asus Probe2 is Intrusive, no logging, memory hog, interferes with network printing,
junk. No specs or source code from Asus, so a big FU if you don't like their crap.
Then you have your video card's sensors and fan controls still using
