Something tells me the engine inside is the same. I mean, why would Microsoft screw up the most used product for their operating system? :p Jacob |
Re: pic: Computers CAN be wrong!
See...this is what I find funny about non-windows users. Microsoft comes out with a product that works quickly, but doesn't look the best. People call it ugly. Microsoft hears this and decides to make it look good. People call it a waste. What gives? Shut up and deal with it or get a computer that works. It's not that hard people.

Vista's look is not only excessive / resource-hogging / unnecessary, but I personally find it unattractive. I feel like I'm going to be cut on every corner of every window. It's too much sharp-looking detail that the wow-factor wears off quickly. It's also sad that you need 512MB of RAM to simply run your OPERATING SYSTEM.... Man, I thought the operating system was simply a platform for launching other programs! I personally think that Microsoft missed the mark on Vista. It requires too new of a computer, is not compatible with enough things (yeah yeah I know, it will be in time, but still. Not being able to use my BRAND NEW tuner card really irks me...), costs too much, and no noticable new features. We didn't get the kernal that we were *promised* (not really promised, but this was supposed to be the newest feature of Vista), we got a copy of Windows Media Center that doesn't work fully, and a driver handler that doesn't accept most old XP drivers... Not to mention the cost (what consumer wants to pay THAT?) Did you guys see the article on Dell's 100 dollar computer that ran Linux (never released), until Microsoft slapped them silly and made them get rid of it, when the price of the same machine running their OS went up more than a hundred dollars.... http://news.com.com/Did+Microsoft+wa...3-6153904.html "We should whack them, we should make sure they understand our value," wrote Paul Flessner, a senior vice president in Microsoft's server applications unit. And I am a Windows user. I don't despise Windows or Microsoft, I just find it aggravating that all of the M$-Fanboys (no-one in particular, I just work with some people like this) are all like *bow* Microsoft *bow*... There are other viable solutions out there that are potentially better than Microsoft products. I just don't think we should stay attached to one corporation, as we have done for more than 20 years now. DISCLAIMER (I can hear it already...): This was not intended to get anyone angry or upset; Just expressing my views on Microsoft and Vista. Jacob |
Re: pic: Computers CAN be wrong!
You also must look at Microsoft's outlook on how long it will take before the next release of Windows. They're making the spec requirements so high because they're making the OS for the next generation of computers. If you remember, it took 6 years for Vista to come out after the introduction of XP. Computer technology jumps by leaps and bounds in 6 years. Odds are that you will buy a new computer within that timeframe, and it will be capable of Vista. In fact, if the current computers that are being sold right now can handle Vista, how much farther will computers be 6 years later? Also, 512 MB of RAM is nothing these days. I look at Firefox, right now, it's taking 120 MB of resources as I speak. I bought my laptop 3 years ago, and have upgraded the RAM from 512 MB to 1.5 GB. RAM is relatively cheap. As far as I see it, it's the best and cheapest upgrade you can make to your computer that will make a noticeable difference.

So lets just hope that there is a brighter future for Vista and all the money put into it. Soon. Jacob |
Re: pic: Computers CAN be wrong!
Wow, That turned into an OS battle really quickly... I guess that I'll have to learn to live with it.
Microsoft FTW! (I'm making this post from a Linux (Knoppix) PC :)) Slightly more on-topic... I can honestly say I've never had solitaire screw up like that before. |

Yeah, back on topic, my Solitaire seems to be working fine... And yes. That is my chia pet. I am too busy to maintain a regular chia pet. If you forget to water this one for 2 days, it dies! And w00t! All my stickies are in the bottom right hand corner... I wouldn't want you seeing all of that VALUABLE information... Jacob |
Re: pic: Computers CAN be wrong!
Unless you're really insecure with your operating system, I don't see much of a need to get really defensive about your favorite OS. I use Windows XP and Mac OSX for several hours per day, and they both have their pros and cons. If I had to choose between the two, I'd go with Mac OSX any day, but that's just my opinion.
A computer is a tool, to get a job done. That's all. :p |

Re: pic: Computers CAN be wrong!
OK, so after the post about how the new solitaire just looks different, I tired it out. It seems that all is the same except you can get a hint, right click sends all cards to home, and there is a helpful (cough useless cough) assistant when you get stuck. Other than that, it is just the same old program.
