I had it in a VM for a little while. It seems pretty stable. OP: Do you know if this is the same one that is still built on the Vista interface? Thats the one I was running. If you have the new one, on the slightly redesigned interface, care to hook me up? -- Posted by ElfQrin at 3:57 pm on Nov. 6, 2008 Have fun, the new auto window resizing seems pretty cool as well as the new Bluetooth file transfer stuff. Haha, I love how they threw away Windows "Sidebar" hehe.

And yes, they are putting out a new one, partly because they did rush Vista. Vista was supposed to be all the things 7 is. I doubt we will see to many super new things in Win7, but it will be lightweight, and thats the biggest part of it. -- Posted by ElfQrin at 4:01 pm on Nov. 6, 2008 Quote: from drifting at 7:00 pm on Nov. 6, 2008 Quote: from Ashtrey8 at 6:57 pm on Nov. 6, 2008 Quote: from h a t t at 3:56 pm on Nov. 6, 2008 Quote: from Ashtrey8 at 6:55 pm on Nov. 6, 2008 Lol.

Thank God, it's actually light on system resources this time. :) -- Posted by Ju5tin at 4:04 pm on Nov. 6, 2008 I hope they fix a majority of the bugs that were in a vista, and make it smaller. Vista was alright, but it had some major errors, plus it would take up a hell of a lot of harddrive space so I stuck with XP. If they make it more compact, then I'll definitely pick it up. -- Posted by drifting at 4:04 pm on Nov. 6, 2008 Quote: from ElfQrin at 7:01 pm on Nov. 6, 2008 Quote: from drifting at 7:00 pm on Nov. 6, 2008 Quote: from Ashtrey8 at 6:57 pm on Nov. 6, 2008 Quote: from h a t t at 3:56 pm on Nov. 6, 2008 Quote: from Ashtrey8 at 6:55 pm on Nov. 6, 2008 Lol.

Thank God, it's actually light on system resources this time. :) They say it runs with ease, full desktop effects, on 1gb of RAM. I was giving it 2gb on my VM. If this build is indeed the good one, Ill probably play with it a little bit, and see how low I can get it. -- Posted by telomere13 at 4:06 pm on Nov. 6, 2008 Quote: from Ashtrey8 at 6:57 pm on Nov. 6, 2008 I'm sorry?

Classifies itself as a virus?  That sounds an awful lot like one of your system files got infected by a virus.  Either way, I've never heard of such a problem. Personally, I'm using Vista 64 on some fairly weird hardware, and I still haven't had much problem with it. -- Posted by Ashtrey8 at 4:06 pm on Nov. 6, 2008 Quote: from drifting at 4:00 pm on Nov. 6, 2008 Quote: from Ashtrey8 at 6:57 pm on Nov. 6, 2008 Quote: from h a t t at 3:56 pm on Nov. 6, 2008 Quote: from Ashtrey8 at 6:55 pm on Nov. 6, 2008 Lol.

It came installed on my new computer that I purchased a bit ago. It had everything up to date, but just to be sure I let it scan. It gave the entire source-code from Windows Vista as a malware, with parts as a virus. I figured it could be just a real virus or malware, so I re-installed the system. Again, same story. I ran a program I have to detect mistakes, which finds 37 mistakes at a fresh install of Windows XP, but it found 96 mistakes at a fresh install of Vista at it's most critical files. -- Posted by telomere13 at 4:10 pm on Nov. 6, 2008 Quote: from Ashtrey8 at 7:06 pm on Nov. 6, 2008 It came installed on my new computer that I purchased a bit ago.

Given that this program verified that you had an invalid installation of the operating system, doesn't that pretty much clear up why you're having problems not present on proper installations of Vista? -- Posted by Ashtrey8 at 4:14 pm on Nov. 6, 2008 Quote: from telomere13 at 4:10 pm on Nov. 6, 2008 Quote: from Ashtrey8 at 7:06 pm on Nov. 6, 2008 It came installed on my new computer that I purchased a bit ago.

It's possible, but it's enough reason for me to avoid Vista. Mainly because it's from Microsoft and they fucked up my computer too many times by their obnoxious "updates" and "failsaves" in the operating systems. They frigging installed virusses, trojans, key-trackers and grayware on my computer through their updates. Why wouldn't they fuck up with Vista? -- Posted by drifting at 4:19 pm on Nov. 6, 2008 Quote: from Ashtrey8 at 7:06 pm on Nov. 6, 2008 Quote: from drifting at 4:00 pm on Nov. 6, 2008 Quote: from Ashtrey8 at 6:57 pm on Nov. 6, 2008 Quote: from h a t t at 3:56 pm on Nov. 6, 2008 Quote: from Ashtrey8 at 6:55 pm on Nov. 6, 2008 Lol.

That is complete bullshit.

Seriously, if Microsoft Update was sending people viruses, everyone would get them, and at least someone who actually researches this stuff would have noticed. -- Posted by ManiacPenguins at 4:23 pm on Nov. 6, 2008 Quote: from telomere13 at 7:20 pm on Nov. 6, 2008 Ashtrey8, you're the only person I've ever heard of claiming to get viruses from Microsoft.  Seriously, if Microsoft Update was sending people viruses, everyone would get them, and at least someone who actually researches this stuff would have noticed. I bet he got an illegitimate copy of Vista, which of course would be loaded with spyware, keyloggers, etc... If you are/were actually having this problem, you should/should have contacted Microsoft.

I actually had a document with the name of the updates on my old computer. I send a faction of that to Microsoft and they did take out a few of them after they checked them out. And just you haven't heard of it before, doesn't mean it didn't happen. I've heard it from multiple people that they got virusses installed on their computer due to Microsoft's website.

It still isnt a virus or any sort of malware.

Those things came straight from a store baught authentic Windows XP cd. Microsoft is a huge-ass company and does make mistakes. Trying to show it off like they never have virusses on their websites is like saying Defence departments never fuck up. Maybe intentionally by Microshit or corrupted by a hacker, all I know is that my computer got fucked over multiple times by virusses that came with the update files from Windows XP.

These things happened over at least 2 years ago and I informed Microsoft. I don't see why I should've kept it. As for the mails, I'm signed up at Yahoo, they didn't have unlimited mails at that time and I had to delete some mails to have storage. So yeah... It's not like I knew that you'd want to see them 2 years after date. Can they also be spoofed that by clicking on the link to the Windows Update site in Win XP, you get those sites? -- Posted by telomere13 at 5:12 pm on Nov. 6, 2008 Quote: from Ashtrey8 at 8:06 pm on Nov. 6, 2008 Can they also be spoofed that by clicking on the link to the Windows Update site in Win XP, you get those sites? Given that your friends probably already had some amount of malware that could potentially be doing whatever it wants, nothing is out of the question. For the record, I download my updates as soon as they come out, and have always done so, and I have never gotten any malware delivered to me from Microsoft's servers.   Your making an extraordinarily dubious assumption and providing absolutely no evidence, and given how easily computers can become infected with malware (even through no fault of the user) which can pose as Microsoft, it is very clear that Microsoft is not actually delivering viruses. -- Posted by bigredron at 5:15 pm on Nov. 6, 2008 Ashtrey8, your an idiot.
