The Wang Out: GIZE! Solidifullness Joes is back! omgdz

I'm keeping the $10, because all the dated hotfixes are 2005/2006. There are tons of undated updates, but I have no idea what they are.

Another reason to kick Bill Gates in the balls. Vista sucks so bad it took my XP install down with it.

It's not vista's fault that Microsoft can't fix their own damn software, that problem has been around since '95 dawned

[Strongbad]

You did. Sorry about that

Seriously though, was at windy as hell round your parts?

The problem is that every version of Windows since 95 will connect to an XP network EXCEPT Vista. It uses a different network discovery protocol. The patch I applied was supposed to update XP to brodcast the proper protocol so the Vista machines would see it. Instead it stopped my machine from accepting FTP connections, made UltraMon refuse to load properly, and made my firewall ask me for permission before I could open a browser or check my email.

Yes. I think the windchill was like 15 today.

3.1 was an awesome OS.

Yeah, and next week it will be 65 out.

I heard it was supposed to be in the 50's saturday or sunday. This is the kind of weather that makes everyone sick.

2000 still gets my vote. Then XP.

I *kinda* second that. 2000 was pretty nice

So it's warm where you are, eh?

Our highs are in the low 40's, our lows are in the low 30's. The general area where I'm at saw snow last night (though my tiny town didn't see any), we're expecting to see some this Saturday.

No, the high was like 32 today with 20+ MPH wind.

I've never gotten the chance to use 2000. I've only used 3.1, 3.11, 95, 98, 98 SE, ME, XP (Home, Pro), Vista Home Premium (With the performance and reliability updates, I've had not one single problem with this OS).

Still not vista's fault though, it's microsofts

Have you seen it's bug list? Hell, this is just from SP4

2000 is ok, installed it on my old laptop because XP's requirements we're too high for it (just like most comps made back in '01, and just like most comps a year ago when vista was released. Hey, kind of ironic isn't it? ) I had more problems with it then 98, XP and vista combined.

Vista is Microsoft's baby
