I hate windows


XP on my main PC this time - its been acting up at startup and telling me it can't find a file but then you try again and it works ?

but the other night it finaly died and refused to start

I'm guessing it was a coroupted file / bad sector on the disk or something, but even when it was working I couldn't find any problems



anyway I booted up on an old disk, copied most stuff (hope I got it all ) then wiped it and started again

I guess the only good thing is it should be a little quicker..... but its all just reminded me why I hate windows !

Nuff said!

its not come to that yet - I like right click !


actually I just wish that they would update win2K
but I guess the best I can hope for is that win7 will be better

My windows was playin up and it wouldnt do a restore so done a duel instal with unbuntu to see what it was like.

Well the mrs even wants me to get rid of windows completely and she was against me putting ubuntu on in the 1st place.

upgrade to vista and have rants everyday

Your hard drive is failing. Backup your data and buy a new drive. Last time I checked osx and linux used hard drives so that's not the answer.

I do have Linux Mint on my other low spec Dell! And it's a crackingbit of kit!

Go linux!

I use macs a reasonable amount and havent found them any less prone to crashing, being slow or any more reliable than a properly maintained windows machine. Plus I find several things about them annoying - like lack of right click without pressing a keyboard button too and the lack of a few nice to have windows features! I have also found them to be less than brilliant at reliability, plus when (not if) they go wrong they cost a fortune to fix as nothing in them is a standard computer part!

There is a lot of windows bashing mostly because its the norm and boring.

Vista is great if you have a high spec machine to run it on and turn some of the extraneous stuff off. XP Pro was always a good system too.

PS show me a decent mac capable of running decent games too...

got to agree that ubuntu is a very nice os to use. when i had 2 computers ( a desktop, and a laptop) i had ubuntu on the laptop, and it was really nice to use.. never had any problems with it. i had windows on my desktop computer for gaming.

Now ive sold the desktop, and old laptop, and bought a high spec laptop. If i didnt do any gaming on it i would kick windows to one side, and stick with ubuntu all day long.
