Reason for not buying thinkdigit

05-08-2011, 07:24 AM

Hi,

I used to buy every edition of thinkdigit.

Now I'm using 64bit OS. Preloaded laptop version and on desktop I use only Linux.

Most of the softwares are unable to install on my computers.

My last edition was windows 7 service pack 1's edition.

I bought it for only windows 7 service pack 1, but when I tried it its 32 bit.

Please thinkdigit, think, all are upgrading to 64bit. If you start 64bit, then only I will buy thinkdigit.

For Linux I'm buying another new linux magazine(I will not name it)

LOL...good luck with that...

I would recommend getting a broadband connection ( preferably with Unlimited bandwidth) rather than buying magazines for softwares and other contends on their free DVD..
I still don't get point with ppl actually purchasing these magazines not for their articles but for the softwares they bundle on DVD which are actually freely available on internet.

Epic LOL...

I think 32-bit apps run fine in Windows 64-bit as all consumer grade processors are amd64/x86-64 and backward compatible.

^^ OP's issue is he want to update his OS which is x64, but digit gave only 32bit, sad....

**ico** · 05-08-2011, 01:05 PM

hmm

damn you.

good luck with your new mag.

furious_gamer · 05-08-2011, 01:18 PM

^^ Do you think we are arguing... You must be kidding..

Even I m using Win7 64bit I must say that all my 32bits apps are working fine in 64bit...

but I make sure that I get all x64drivers for my system...

I was just saying it in general

and FYI I didn't buy a single issue of think digit yet..

Whats the point of waiting for a whole month for every issue..Even some of the simple blogs out there churn out better articles than those that gets published on these magazines

I agree to everything that you say except the bold part.

There writing is good ! But 1 month for news to reach your doorstep is too long in this world.

I however like the comparison and testing .

Spending Rs.150 bucks just for the SP1 in the Digit DVD is a bad investment.

I still love the magazine. For some strange reason despite the option to skip the DVDs and only pay for the mag I still get the entire package. So Rs.50 for coasters every month is again a bad investment. Hi fi bro!

Ya in this age of internet with good speed broadband connection, magazine DVDs are not worth it.

As OP's problem, he can order a FREE SP1 DVD from Microsoft directly : From Here

Note :

1. Enable cookies for the site.
2. Shipping charge will apply (Just $5)
3. Maximum you get 3 DVD's with your SINGLE order.

furious_gamer · 05-08-2011, 06:28 PM

^^ Is it true?

@OP

Get a BB connection, download it for free from MS website (correct me if i a wrong)

This thread is full of lulz....

Yaa... he is right... Digit must think of upgrading to 64 bits

We r in 21st century. Even digit should be ready for 128 bit. 22nd century is not that far away.

But haradeep what would we 32 bit owners will do. Who will think of us. Pls suggest somthing.

And while taking internet connections, inform the guys u need IPv6 as its 128 bits. U maynot be able to download 64 bit service pack using IPv4 as its 32 bits only.

(just kidding)
