Instead of saving an antiquated OS, use linux.

[Mulchman MM]

Right, because all the programs I use for work run on Linux, especially visual studio 2005 for compiling c# code.

[spin]

fuck c#. its all about python baby!!!

i use kubuntu in my computational chemistry lab. its teh win. if i ever figured out how to play wow on linux (i know i know wine etc etc, but i havent found a guide for mods), i would prolly never use windows :s

[senor-turkey-lurkey]

HAY GUYS WHY NOT WE ALL BUY MACINTOSH COMPUTER?

[Bad Luck]

They make it easy to find the on button

[bowser]

damnit down with vista!

[Griffith-]

They aren't completely getting rid of it. They are changing the name and putting it on low-budget computers (like the EEE PC) that can't run Windows XP. But even then, it's only sticking around until 2010 (and have support for XP until 2013).

[NightWolf]

actually it would be a bad buisness move for them tot ake it off the market some of the older games won't play on vista for example manhunt fucking love the game but can't play it on my vista box

I know a place where you can download XP for free... I bet a few months from now it will still be there. :)

[MustangMuscle76]

They will have a vista killer soon enough... vista will be the new ME and we will all laugh about it like little school girls. Not signing.

[megatron]

I... like... Vista?


Same here.

[Sutterkane]

c#

fuckin .NET c# rocks. and studio is mega-rape (even though I have to use the express versions since apparently I'm not good enough to waste a -1 license count on)

although coming from vbscript I will say that having to use tooadate and fromoadate for date functions (which use double) is gay

[RaisinBran]

i signed it

[Johnny Mullet]

Windows 98 needs saved!

[Venny]

Why does everyone hate? I mean this shit happened when 98 went to 2000 (im skipping ME because.. lol ya ), then from 2000 to XP same fucking shit, wah wah wah crying like little bitches. Yet again, we're crying from XP to VISTA.

:rip: XP :rip:

[BlackThoughT]

winME is like the retard kid brother that everyone goes "aww hes trying so hard how cute!"

[Magus]

i guess i should stop running ME?

[Sutterkane]

it's not a very good os and doesn't upgrade well(me)

[Kegman]

when sp2 comes out for vista ill get it. :p

[beedub]

Once XP stops getting support, I'm switching to Linux. Fuck Vista, I ran it on this computer and it ran like shit, so I went back to 64bit XP.
