Someone figured it out

Rumour has it that someone's managed to figure out how to make Vista work properly. The patch is to address this issue and replace it with something even more bizarre and difficult to use.

(with apologies to Douglas Adams)

A hole

Plugging holes in a colander gives:-

a) A feeling of achievement

b) An enhanced sense of security

c) The impression that the colander-maker cares

but it still ain't gonna float...

Re: Uptime

Is that just the time taken to copy a couple of files?

Updating the malicious software removal tool

But fdisk works pefectly well already

Panic Attack ....... MS Cracked? :-)

"Rumour has it that someone's managed to figure out how to make Vista work properly.

Dear Micro$haft,

Come on now, this Vista comedy sketch has dragged on far to long, it's stopped being funny. Don't you think it's about time that you end this 'prank' and release the real OS which you promised us all for so long, you know, the real one with inherently improved security to minimise the need for regular fixes/updates, increased performance and usability etc etc?.

I don't mind admitting that your previos episodes of Beadles About (aka Punk'd for readers under 25) were very funny, W4W, NT3.5, Win ME & Home Server all had me in stiches.

However, If you intend to repeat the same gag with the new server platform series, I for one will be writing to my MP to demand a refund of my licencing fee.

Yours,

Mr S.P Acehopper

Patch Details

I've managed to sneak a look at the patch ahead of time. It makes the OS stable, addresses the copy issue, reduces the bloat, and increases dramatically the hardware/driver incompatability problems.

It's called XP.

Vista is not serious

Vista in my view is now aimed at the kiddy market. I don't know any company that has or will upgrade to it there is no incentive. The only users are those that had it thrust upon them when they got their new PC and been fighting with it ever since.

If you must use windows then win2k is still much faster, lighter, stronger, better then XP or over bloated Vista. When you dig deep inside the layers fat of XP and Vista you will find a lean win2k kernel which flies on a gig a ram. It boots up and shuts down in seconds rather than minutes too on modern PC's and still runs 95% of MS software.

Otherwise anyone even the slightest bit security conscious is already running Linux.
