[QUOTE=pl0xinat0r;20473530]you're gonna get so much hate, you've just recommended a mac in a windows based forum, in a windows 7 thread. Have fun.[/QUOTE] I know. I've prepared my argument, and I am now awaiting for pathetic Windows-fanboy counterpoints so I can ultimately refute them.

It just makes you look like a child.

I appreciate your determination.
[QUOTE=ph0ne;20473710]I know. I've prepared my argument, and I am now awaiting for pathetic Windows-fanboy counterpoints so I can ultimately refute them.[/QUOTE] I like Windows. So, lets hear your arguments?
[QUOTE=ph0ne;20473964]What a coincidence it is that you would follow me into this thread so you could call me a troll. I appreciate your determination.[/QUOTE] fine, I'll admit I like following your posts. it's amazing how as soon as someone discovers you, you start reminding me of a spastic going mad an attacking everyone around him, but in text form. it's pretty entertaining
[QUOTE=Zedo Mann;20473975]I like Windows. So, lets hear your arguments?[/QUOTE] So you like getting viruses, crashes, freezes, bugs, annoying security alerts, and other issues with your operating system?
[QUOTE=ph0ne;20474209]So you like getting viruses, crashes, freezes, bugs, annoying security alerts, and other issues with your operating system?[/QUOTE] I have absolutely none of those issues because I'm not an idiot like you. :smug: If your going to try to troll, at least do a better job at it.
[QUOTE=EliteGuy;20474467]I have absolutely none of those issues because I'm not an idiot like you..[/QUOTE] Don't even lie. Everyone knows OS X is the most advanced operating system out there. The boot times are faster, the performance is faster, and the stability is a lot better. There are NO viruses on a Mac. [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Trolling" - Greeman))[/highlight]

Let's all just report him. There's a trolling option.
[QUOTE=LarparNar;20474954][/QUOTE] Dude just watch the videos I linked.
[QUOTE=ph0ne;20475291]Dude just watch the videos I linked.[/QUOTE] Dude I did. You can do anything on Windows that you can on a Mac. Regardless you're still trolling. To your pointouts: Viruses: I don't have them. Point voided. Freezes: I don't have them. Point voided. Faster Boot: Not in my experience. Crashes: Don't have them. Point voided. Bugs: Didn't Mac have a bug that deleted all user files? The worst we had was in a beta that corrupted MP3s. Most Advanced: How? Again I can do anything on Windows I can in Mac. Stability: Really? Windows hasn't been unstable for me since WinME. Mac has no viruses: Are you that fucking stupid?
No I want you to answer my comments. [editline]07:00PM[/editline] To Ph0ne.
[QUOTE=LarparNar;20475002]the performance is faster([url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kq6ctIE2abs[/url])[/QUOTE] I know this guy is trolling, but that is a fucking piss poor example of showing that Windows is better than OS X.
[QUOTE=Dr Egg;20475597]I know this guy is trolling, but that is a fucking piss poor example of showing that Windows is better than OS X.[/QUOTE] Why? Also it's not an attempt at showing that Windows is any better than OS X in any way, it's just an answer to all the Mac fanfags who go all "Mac is so much faster than Windows", without anything to back it up.
Are they still doing the windows 7 student discount? I really want to buy it but $100+ is outta my price range. [editline]07:30PM[/editline] Sweet they are still doing it.
Is there a website where you can download windows 7 for cheaper if you have a .edu email?
Sometimes your school will provide 7 for you: [url]http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/academic/default.aspx[/url] Search for your school there or [url]http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/academic/default.aspx[/url] if you're in the UK.
God, now I remember why I loved windows 7. It's just the little differences between it and Vista. I miss my line-in playing through my Laptop speakers.[IMG]http://fi.somethingawful.com/images/smilies/emot-crying.gif[/IMG]

I just switched to Win 7 Pro x64 from XP and I'm surprised at how nice and polished it feels and looks. I have a question though I have an svchost.exe instance using around 100MBs of RAM at startup. Any ideas how I could lower it a bit?

If you don't need the hightlighted services you can disable them in services.msc.
I've got Soft7 1.8 installed and I'm wondering if theres a way to changed the preview window look: [IMG]http://filebox.me/files/qw5r8ah30_20100301_234629.png[/IMG] I don't like that and want the default look, anyone know how this can be done?
