Funny, as we speak i'm formatting my laptop to put XP back on

dnf276490d ago

you certainly wouldn't have been the first to do this!

aaquib56490d ago

It's Microsoft...I dont know how you could expect any more *cough* Vista, Zune, XFLOP, LIVE search *cough*

sorry, Im having a weird cough today. *cough* weird like Steve Ballmer and his goons *cough*

OK your a goon, but what's a goon to a goblin?

Mr_Potato_6490d ago (Edited 6490d ago )

With Zune, RROD, Vista, Windows Millenium and Yahoo bid failure, MS should rename to 'The Failure Company'.

zonetrooper56490d ago

Vista is working for me alright, actually like it more than XP tbh, lots of features which area pretty cool and helpful.

Mr_Potato_6490d ago

Which feature ? Do you work for MS ?

The main feature is it's 30 % slower than XP and most games don't work under Vista. So ok, they can keep it.

joemayo766490d ago

LOL

"the main feature is its 30% slower than XP" - quote of the month, classic bro

but yea im done with vista had to reinstall 2 times in a month due to OS probs, so yea time to dig out that XP disc if i can find it...

joemayo766490d ago (Edited 6490d ago )

and my copy of diablo 2 gos a lil haywire once and a while on vista :S

BlueRevolvuR6490d ago

cuz i just got a mac tat is way better than Vista!!!!!!!!!!!

I Make Stuff Up6490d ago

We now have 3 at home. They really are awesome for what we need.

dommafia6490d ago

yeah -_- ....

I finally decided to stop dual booting to xp after vista SP1. There's no going back to XP. Vista is just as fast as XP ATM. I haven't had a single problem running DIABLO 2, RED ALERT 3 BETA, QUAKE WARS, ENEMY TERRITORY, COD 4, BIOSHOCK, WARSOW, PREY, STALKER. I think that most people having problems with vista are those that have a sub par system.

It's like wanting to run WIN XP with your WIN95 ready system.

zonetrooper56490d ago

Are you using the vanilla version of Vista or the one which got the service pack 1 update?

Also you can run certain software such as games in Vista under compatabilty mode, as for it being slower than XP well its not as slow as 30% and yes Vista does have flaws but its actually isn't that bad. Plus your avatar, Im guessing you don't like Windows or MS, either one.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing19d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9219d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit19d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing19d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9219d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
