well.. as a couple of guys said before, get a mac. it simply works.go take a look if you don’t believe me

i’m using it all day long without issues, and i do use windows too, just for the games.

the guys who complain about security issues regarding os x, maybe it’s because you don’t know how to use a computer… trust me, unix is rock stable

go take your shit elsewhere but not here. usualy the guys who can’t stand up macs are the poor nerds who can’t afford one..maybe that’s why they’re being so repulsive about the technology it’s to expensive 4 them:):))

boo ya!

Well installed the sp3 and very upset to see that for some reason Microsoft excluded the address bar as an option in the start taskbar, I used it all the time. And also now when I goto open with to set my prefs for video player to view a file it opens notepad rather than the program I select.

Went down at 2.1mbps, not bad for a Socket A AMD system. Installed 1st time with no problems, thanks.
But make sure that if you’re using IE8 Beta, uninstall it before you download Sp3 and reinstall it afterwards if you want to keep using it or you won’t be able to roll back to IE7 if you’re having problems with IE8.

Macs suck, Linux needs an extra download every time you want to do something, and Xp Pro Sp3 just works as an OS should. :-p

[...] so far without a hitch. Put SP3 on before you do anything more to it. Maybe try downloading here instead of using windows update. __________________ Heatware Rating Check out my Homepage Bad [...]

Came fast enough… at peak time UK, too.

“Kev-pple says, July 13th, 2008

get a mac so you dont have to worry about a pice of crap service pack”

You [severe flame self-censored], the VERY FIRST time I did any systems admin on a Mac I found a bug that research told me required an ‘update’ (akin to a service pack / Windows Update download). This bug required my whole Wireless Access Point to be lowered in security in order to accommodate the Mac, even though it was an obvious function of the software and not hard to predict and design properly in the first release. Businesses requiring security would not tolerate this level of performance from expensive hardware and supposedly well-designed software.

So stop the bullshit Mac-evangelism, it makes you look a retard. Any and all software requires improvements. The criticism of Microsoft should be reserved for the updates that are out there which are NOT available for general release, and require payment (which you then rely on the MS operative to decide is to be refunded) for a support session just to check they’re correct. That and the huge bugs (P2P Netbios share browsing, on ANY version of Windows, working efficiently, anyone?) that it just refuses to fix.
I do hate Microsoft on occasion, and think they’re arrogant SOBs, too. But two wrongs don’t make a right.
