In other news, I found that Creative was apparently pressured by Microsoft to disable "What U Hear" support in their drivers due to DRM or some bullshit. So now I can't play shit over Ventrilo anymore and I've been looking for ways around it. Shit sucks. Oh well, Windows 7 is starting to feel a lot more natural. I like some of the changes they've made with the exception of how fucking glossy EVERYTHING is.

Hilarious...

Holy fuck guys, I have just installed WIndows 7 Home and wow... it's pretty amazing so far.
The smartest idea ever was the windows.old folder, without it my steamapps would have been gone.
Also, I love the quick peek feature it has. I find it so useful. Seriously, this is pretty awesome so far.

Firefox however doesn't seem as stable.
God damn Action Center telling me to make a backup all the time. I don't wanna :saddowns:

Open AC and click the label that says something along the lines of 'don't show me this'.

I read that you can't upgrade from XP to 7 without having to backup all your stuff and then reinstall after the upgrade. I wanna get Windows 7, but I won't if I can't just upgrade without backing up.
You can't.
The only way you could upgrade without backing up is to up(down)grade to Vista, then to 7.
Also, not getting 7 just for that reason is stupid.

AHAHAAHAH THAT'S SO FUCKING GODDAMN HILARIOUS. I NEVER HEARD THAT BEFORE. AHAHAhAHAHAHAHAHA. YOU'RE SO CLEVER AND ORIGINAL. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. YOU FOLLOW A BANDWAGON LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA. SO FUCKING GODDAMN FUCKING FUCKING HILARIOUS.

No, Vista ran worse on my computer than XP did. 7 runs better than both.

Which instantly changes the definitions of upgrade and downgrade. :downs:
Just because [i]you[/i] had a bad experience doesn't mean it sucks.
That's why I put up(down), since it can be either.

No. Going from old to new is always upgrade.

You cannot downgrade to something that is newer, regardless of how it performs on [i]your[/i] computer.

Just boot from the disk and delete/erase your partitions when asked.

That's exactly what he shouldn't do. Installing [b]without[/b] deleting partitions will move all your files to Windows.old

So, if I just boot from the disk and install like that, it'll save all my files and shit?
Yes. Everything will be in Windows.old
For example, let's say you have Steam currently installed to C:\Program Files\Steam.
After installing 7, you can find it under C:\Windows.old\Program Files\Steam.

Everything from your old install will be in C:\windows.old in the new install. You will still have to reinstall all of you applications and etc, but you will still have all your files and shit.

Not sure I understand. Screenshot?

The answer is in the OP.
Fix for the ugly fonts that occur on Facepunch for the "X Reading" under the thread titles:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
FontSmoothing = 2
FontSmoothingType = 3
I didn't even think to check the OP, thanks.
