Vista Closes in on 150 Million Sold Licenses

[praka123]

who's bluffing what? really ur not understanding.I had made threads reg this tuner.
I used S-video out of mpeg4 receiver for video and that tuner card was not having AV in.I have to use the onboard audio for sound(line-in).
and my uncle is happy using the tuner with Ubuntu rather than virus ridden XP

[desiibond]

^^^LOL. supreme bluffing. uncle's happy using tuner with Ubuntu. I would say entire KPHB colony (asia's biggest colony, located in Hyderabad) is happy using Windows rather than "OS that look better in 'init 0'than in 'init 5' "

[praka123]

doesnot make sense talking to immature ppl

[desiibond]

^^^. Great, now you know how everone else feels when you do those stupid rants on forums. so, STFU.

[praka123]

it is you who is not understanding!CTC! pctv 50i works very well in Ubuntu with TVtime.I can vouch that!the driver used is saa7134 (philips).
what more u want baby?

[desiibond]

Now, coming to the actual topic:

yes. I do belive that Vista will do what XP does in the coming months. I think it will not take much time for Vista to become mainstream.

Yes. there are some issues and most of them are resolved in SP1 (500+ issues fixed).

been using this OS for past couple of months and it's really good (for me)

Vista runs fine.
Is this a super machine?

its not all about running the os..if thats the case even a 386pc would run linux..1gb/even 512mb enough to run vista..
1gb is ok..but 2gb necessary for ur apps to breath enough in the os environment

Enough already.

@praka, stop it. nag, nag, nag.

@desiibond, Tell Pinnacle to provide a TV App that works on Linux, its not the fault of Linux that they don't provide. But still it can be made to work using Tvtime, though you have to select France as the frequency(coz India is not listed coz of lack of contributors of the regional code). And frankly, if you don't want to know a single command, then I suggest you never touch Linux in your life.
[/OFFTOPIC]

One more rant and thread gets closed.

Ontopic, those are nice figures for Vista, but I have my doubts of the corporate sales included in that figure. Or are these personal licenses of Vista on people's computers?

yep. That's what I do
Linux not necessary for my day-to-day life. Windows does everything that is needed and that too with ease. If it ain't broke, Don't try to fix it. this might well be the reason why people are not migrating to non-MS OS.

If a company doesn't provide s/w or drivers for linux, that's a problem with that manufacturer and if the same happens with Vista, why are people blaming MS?? Isn't that too much??

For me & the apps I use 1GB is more than enough & after SP1 the speed is great.

Apps I use- VS, Dreamweaver & such stuff. Anti virus I use is Avira.

512 MB is the minimum rec. You can't expect Vista to run speedily with 512MB RAM.

I think we better get some rules regarding ms vs mac vs linux fanboyism....

Its getting bad at times...

[MetalheadGautham]

come on guys, please give vista a break.
@MS Boys: if you think vista rocks, keep using it. Don't care what others say. If you think vista is the best OS, then install 100 copies of it in your PC in 100 different partitions and enjoy yourself.

@ Mac Users: You are using macintosh. So let it stay that way. Live and Let Live. Continue praising mac in your apple thread and flaming vista and linux in the same place. But don't do it here.

@Linux Dudes: Its a fact that a person who is used to the things that MS and Apple call comforts can never ever become a proper BSD/GNU/Linux/CommandLine/HyperKnowledge type user. So ignore them and concentrate more on spreading GNU to those who have NOT yet seen a computer, so that they become accustomed to using Linux and continue using it.

This forum is to discuss technological news, but first, the poster posts a non technological thing which is supposed to be "news" in the technological news section, next, people make it into an OS war. Truely Rubbish.

Appreciate your effort in moderating and guiding members. But Mac users are the most docile, soft spoken & shy members in the forum who almost never post outside threads which doesn't has to do with a Mac.

Why do you want fight club be your hunting ground to prey less verbatim armed members? Unless the thread deserves to be moved to FC (debate natured topics), it won't be moved at you discretion.


Does it thread need to run any longer? Closed.
