Oh for...

Vista is shit. No doubt about it. Just, everything before it, and eerything after it is gonna be better. Hell, even Windows Millenium edition was better than it now. I still use ME, too, and it actually RUNS.

But, if you're good, you can get some really awesome MBTF's out of even ME. I managed years without a restart, it was never necessary.

I use Windows XP on two computers, ME on one, and our Laptop has Vista, which I despise, and since I don't support pirating OS's, I am trying to put Linux on it, but Bassir is being a sonofabitch and won't help me.

so in other words you're just too retarded to either figure it out yourself or to follow one of the many many guides available online

All of the many guides don't teach me the one protocol I need most.

I hate how everyone is told that Windows is so loaded with error messages. I've actually never gotten an actual error except for "Not Responding". Other things were confirmation prompts and the like, which actually occur way more in Ubuntu where I needed a password for just about anything psyduck;
I've never gotten Blue Screen except for once when I tried.
[spoiler]Go to Windows Task Manager and terminate every instance of svchost.exe[/spoiler]
I've also never gotten any viruses.

I like Windows. It runs any programs that I have any intent of using, supports drivers for all my stuff, has an organization that I like (I prefer Windows, Documents and Settings, and Program Files over bin, boot, dev, etc, home, initrd, lib, etc)

Windows should include way more drivers, but I'm just glad it supports everything. I can't use my wireless internet card, set my screen resolution above 800x600, or use audio without installing drivers on Windows while Ubuntu includes drivers for all of those psyduck;
My printer doesn't support anything other than Windows and my graphics and wireless mouse work partially in Ubuntu (mouse can't detect battery level and the screen only goes up to 1152x864)

I've never needed drivers for my Bluetooth adapter, corded mouse, corded keyboard, SD card, or those USB mass storage things.

I don't understand why you're comparing everything to Ubuntu...


The reference I was making was that basically anything you jam into a mac is going to work instantly.

Almost everything I use for my PC also does. The only thing that doesn't is an old scanner that I don't even use anymore. My current one (part of a printer/fax/scan combo) worked instantly, as does my wireless mouse, wireless internet card, USB hub, tablet, and um...I can't think of anything else I put in it.
