Only further proves that a vast majority of Mac users are elitist-douchebag pricks.
I wish Microsoft could attack macs more in their commercials; it wouldst be mean, just true.

Too bad vista and 7 are the same thing.
Anyone that thinks otherwise is wrong. 7 is just vista with the bloat cut off. It still uses the same kernel and all that other good stuff.

True that. I just feel that Apple deserves it.

To be honest, if PCs were to cost 20% more than your average Mac, we'd probably turn elitist too. It seems like it's human nature to act like a product you bought for more is superior, even though it sometimes isn't superior in every way.
I still haven't bought the damn thing yet :emo: I need money, that Student offer isn't going to be around forever :v:

I'd build my own. Like I always do.

Yeah I'm living off £2 for 3 weeks now because of my Macbook. Worth it though, though I should imagine my Bank of Mum and Dad disagree.
Wow, windows starter edition sucks. I can't change the wallpaper.

Actually, I found some hacky way to replace the original desktop wallpaper.

Wait are you serious? Is that not an option at all?
[B]Edit:[/B]
[quote] * Aero Glass, meaning you can only use the “Windows Basic” or other opaque themes. It also means you do not get Taskbar Previews or Aero Peek.
* Personalization features for changing desktop backgrounds, window colors, or sound schemes.
* The ability to switch between users without having to log off.
* Multi-monitor support.
* DVD playback.
* Windows Media Center for watching recorded TV or other media.
* Remote Media Streaming for streaming your music, videos, and recorded TV from your home computer.
* Domain support for business customers.
* XP Mode for those that want the ability to run older Windows XP programs on Windows 7.

Straight from the Windows blog. I have to say, removing the ability to personalize your desktop seems crazy. Sure remove Aero and other features, but no customizing your desktop? That should be a given.

ONe of the many bad things about 7
Nope, can't change the permissions on the folder.
[QUOTE=~Kiwi~;18376719]ONe of the many bad things about 7[/QUOTE]
Of course, because Windows 7 Starter Edition is obviously representing all versions of 7. I am happy to say I am running Windows 7 Pro and can't find any downsides to it. Stop with the ignorant comments.
[QUOTE=~Kiwi~;18376719]ONe of the many bad things about 7[/QUOTE]
It's just the starter edition you twat.
You're much better off just installing Home Premium via a flash drive than dealing with starter.
If I can just change the permissions on this folder, I could replace the default desktop image with my own,

It should work.
[editline]03:08AM[/editline]
aha got it
I never liked the Basic theme, it's so ugly looking.
Nope didn't work.
[editline]03:15AM[/editline]
Well this blows, I overwrote the original desktop background and now the wallpaper is just black.
Starter should be free, as sort of a Windows 7 "trial" :v:

I just read a bit more into starter edition. It is not worth it under any circumstances.
[quote]This ultra-cheap edition is intended for use on netbooks, but its biggest restriction sounds like a complete deal-breaker: it only runs three applications at once.[/quote]
They removed that three application limit a long time ago.

And it rarely worked before they did.

Oh really? That's pretty cool then. I suppose it isn't too bad then.
