A Head's Up Windows XP Updates

[chooks]

Just think of Windows and Linux as VHS and Beta tapes, VHS was promoted and marketed well and beta wasn't but Beta tapes are better and last longer than VHS. Ol' Billy just marketed Windumbs so well it took off and ppl didn't want Linux, some even don't know that another OS exist. Linux is not that easy to use(like installed programs don't just get added to your start-up and files aren't really labeled like windows so it looks hard but looks are not all what they are cracked up to be.

I believe one of the driving forces behind Beta's failure was the porn industry taking on VHS as their format of choice. Sony didnt want to support the porn industry, so VHS was chosen and consumers followed. Quite a funny and interesting story!

And yes, Vista does just look like Mac OS X a few years ago. Micro$oft will just never be as good though. Bothhave good merits however. We all should live a more advanced life and convert to Apple hahahahaha Yes, I favour Mac hehe

Amen to that, been Using my sister's iMac and its just much more better looking than XP.

Also marketing today like Nintendo DS and PSP.
While PSP is clearly superior, hell it can emulate DS. Nintendo have sold much much much much more DS' compared to Sony selling PSP's

"Microsoft became bankrupt" now that would be sweet!!! Wait, I am aloud to say this right?(didn't see nothing in the rules) But yeah I hear ya but I don't agree. A Few courses or even National Linux day should do the trick

Yeah its just a personal thought, so i guess its allowed?

Yeah i do also have a MacBook at home, which my brother uses iMovie to edit his camera recordings. One thing that i like about Mac is that there is no need for any antivirus programs or any crap like that, as hackers/viruses seldom target Mac. UNLESS the Mac population increases, the hackers will continue to target Windows OS.

Most of my friends have a PSP, but none of em have a DS, so i can't really comment on this. Personally, I like the PSP for its portability and the OS. The look and feel of it is similar to the PS3. And the best part is, i've read that you can actually play your PS3 using the PSP wirelessly if you're in the toilet or something like that (with proper network config).

I 300% agree with this, chooks you rock! Bet ya Sony is kicking themselves for not aff with porn Porn good, doggy porn ok, donkey porn badd(kidding or am I??)

I have a PsP and my girl loves her DS and yeah I feel if Sony marketed well it would be like in the old days when Gameboy beat everyone, remember Game Gear for Sega? Colour screen, tv tuner, where is it now? Gameboy kicked it's ass that's where it is. Nintendo has genis' working in their marketing section. Tho, I can't say this for the Wii as I have played it and well the hype they give it is well not 100% true, it is a sweet console. Mind you the graphics are a little cheesy and also the games but I say give a a few more years(gen 2 or gen 3) and it might just take over the market.

Cool, I love the freedom of personal opinions, and hackers shall not really go after Linux OS as that is what they use LoL and yeah I have played my PS3 on the shitter through my PsP. I had an Xbox 360 and sold it cuz it was a pain in the ass to install a Linux OS on it, freaking Bill! Took me all of 8 mins to install Linux on my PS3. I love Sony, tried giving my PS3 some loving(you know;)) and well it took it like a champ LoL

Hey Gameboy totally kicked arse. Especially Mario and Pokemon!! I had a Gameboy colour, which i think should still be working if i dusted it.

What can Linux do in a PS3? Adds more functionality to it?

Hell yeah to Mario!! Pokemon well not my game LoL and Linux on PS3, not truly sure yet, still working with it but it does allow me to customize my PS3 and that is what I like to customize everything, shit my toaster has LED's But I have read that with Linux I can upload an emulator and play backed-up games, still working all the bus out tho

[crash]

shit my toaster has LED's

LEDs on a toaster? I think the toaster could use some Saturday Night Fever. If you could make the LEDs blink.

Backed up PS3 games?

Regarding the original purpose of this topic, it seems the internet killer update is Security Update for Windows XP(KB951748); from my searches, it seems to have a conflict with the ZoneAlarm Firewall.
Here are a few threads on the issue:

The Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - July 2008(KB890830) update is perfectly okay, so it can be installed.

Hope this info helps.

Could give it that but I mean that might just be overkill:) And back-up games are another way to say burnt games. My buddy copies all my games

I would say it is 98% cool, some movies/cd's(like Harry Potter) were under lock and key due to the pirating and shit like that but I am getting the new Slipknot album 2-3 days before it is released

Hey that's just cool. Remember to post a review if you can about the album, after you have listened to it. Back to the subject, so did u try to install the 'internet-killing' update again?

I will and hell NO! I sent a copy to Microsoft about the problem and well yeah don't think they shall fiz it as they want you to use the XP firewall, which in my opinion is crap. It stops a lot but also adds way too much Microsoft adware/spyware but as (I believe) VampYre said it doesn't really matter if you update, I think I shall just install Ubuntu for my girl and let her have the freedom the pc can offer
