Care to point a single one out to me? Or are you just going of speculation that nobody has proven?

If you do your research you will read about this flaw: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16359568/

And for the love of pete, please read the whole thing and you would realize that the "security bug" isn't really a security bug at all, since somebody would have to install shit on your computer personally.

wth is wrong with all of you. If you prefer your Vista, stay with it. Same goes for XP users. Stop arguing which is good and which is bad. The bottomline is that you like it. Own preference in other words

ubuntu + beryl > vista ... ... unless u wanna play sro T_T

i've tried vmware, qemu, and wine on ubuntu and i've never gotten sro to run

one thing i havent tried is the built-in kernal virtualization in Feisty. My pentium M doesnt support it.

Over the last few days, I have built 2 PCs. Both of which contained Vista.
I have had absolutely no problems with any software other than ATItool (OCing utility) and Hacked/Cracked programs.

I tested SRO, and I would dare say that it ran better on the Vista system than it did my XP system of the exact same specs.

I feel as though you anti-microsoft lame asses need to give a working OS a chance. I bet 90% of you are just going off of other opinions and not experience, or are basing your opinions on past versions of the OS that Microsoft has released.

I myself just purchased Vista Ultimate for myself and look forward to doing a clean install and starting anew with this wonderful OS.

EDIT: I also tested all my other games with the OS, and all of them worked perfectly with the acception of Cracked games.

I have Windows Vista Ultimate RC1 installed on my system at home. It works *alright* for me, and SRO even installed and DOES run. The problem I have is SRO tends to freeze quite easily, probably because I'm not using a finalized version of Vista.

The main reason I won't upgrade to Vista is because there really are a lot of problems with Vista. Microsoft JUST released the OS, and they are already planning on putting SP1 out there for beta testers towards the end of 2007. Seems pretty early to have so many bugs and security issues that you need a whole new service pack so early after the OS's initial release.

Also with the several different versions of Vista (ultimate, basic, business, whatever else) there's bound to be problems. I won't be upgrading until (if at all) they release SP2 and maybe even a few months after that to make sure that is tested good.

I have ubuntu installed on my test box at work, but I think my boss would be a bit upset if I tried installing an online game onto it

I've never had success running any games with wine. And ATI's drivers suck. I've been running Slackware for years, I want to switch to Ubuntu for the easier updating, but didn't find any JACK and Ardour packages for it, and that was a pain to get set up the first time. How is DVD playing in Ubuntu? Does it just work or will I still have to compile 12 packages to get it installed with deCSS?

I have no problems with taking the harder road, I've been doing it for years with Linux, but these days I don't have the time I used to have to mess with manually compiling all of that stuff.

Windows vista looks really nice in some parts but i will wait until it is more compatible with things ><
