Reply to Ten Points to Consider About Upgrading to Windows Vista in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I'm only going to get Vista because I want something new/different. I am getting a little tired of XP already. I have Vista RC1 and used it for a bit. The sad thing is that some of my drivers won't work properly, so I can't play games on it. I am using Nvidia and the Vista beta drivers are only good for RC2, NOT RC1. So, back to XP for now. When Vista comes into the stores, I am definitely upgrading though. Hopefully the drivers will be

Reply to Microsofts CEO: Less Piracy With Vista in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Maybe if they didn't charge $200-$500 for a program there would be less piracy. A lot of people can't afford to dish out that kind of money for a disc and there is no reason why companies like Microsoft have to charge that kind of money either. Why don't they charge $70 or $100 for Vista? Why must is be almost unaffordable?

Reply to A Look at Vista, DirectX 10 and the Future of PC Gaming in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

It's too bad that game makers aren't making games for PC's anymore and concentrating mainly on that X-Box360 and other idiot game consoles. I use to be a big PC gamer and never owned a game console but I can see the PC gaming industry go downhill and downhill fast. All of EA games this year have been horrible for the PC. Especially the sports ones like NHL07, Tigerwoods 07 and Madden 07. When Activision's Call Of Duty 3 game out, I was excited, the

How do they know these figures? No one asked me. I have been using IE ever since day one and I love the new IE7. Firefox is ok, but some websites do not work well with it, especially high security government sites. Firefox is still a simple minded browser for simple minded people, I guess

Reply to Launch News - IE7 & WMP 11 in Windows XP WinCustomize Forums

At my last check IE7 was not compatible with Norton Internet security and WMP11 did (or would not) backup licenses for songs purchased through it. Has anyone gotten any new info on these points? I never had a problem using the beta version of IE7 as far as it being compatible with Norton.

Reply to WindowBlinds 5.1 released! in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I did download 5.1 because I subscribed to StarDock and it upgraded it to the newest version. I really don't see any difference. For the past few years, they have come up with so many "updated" versions and not very often is there a difference. The last time there was a difference is when 5.0 came out. Before and after that, it was the same. Anything for a buck and to fool the users.

Reply to WindowBlinds 5.1 released! in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

WB 5.1 is NO different than WB 5.0. The wallpaper function is non existant. If you look at the programming tabs for WB, it's exactly identical as previous versions. Sad to say, this is just another way to get more money from the users.

Reply to Windows Vista Pricing Official in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Don't feel about the extra (double) posts, sa33od... It just did it to me, so I had to go back and edit this post. The prices listed are in US dollars, so Canadians like me will have to add an extra $100-150 to the cost! Nice!

Reply to Windows Vista Pricing Official in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

The funny thing is that Microsoft and other companies keep raising the price of these programs all the time and they wonder why there is so much piracy going on. Why not lower the price of Windows to $50 - $70, so everyone can afford it? There is no reason to charge 100's of dollars for a disc and a serial number! The only reason they seem to do it is to cover the cost of the lost revenue from piracy and it's the honest consumer that seems to pay fo

Reply to Dell is on FIRE in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I am still baffled as to why people would bother with Dell. It's been one of the worst companies to buy a computer with in the past, yet people are dumb enough to still buy them. I wouldn't touch them with a ten foot pole.

Move to Western Canada (not Eastern, cause that's where all the nuts live).... It averages only 72 degrees (22.2C) here in July (the hottest month of the year) and has an average low temperature of 50 degrees (9.5C). It gets to above 30C once in a while, but not often.

Reply to Where have all the decent skinners and skins gone? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

There is one thing that I had to get off my chest... even though what I said was wrong, that still is no excuse for what Skinhit and Zubaz said. Not liking and commenting about a post is one thing, but threatening to kill someone because of it is another. I was extremely offended by what those two idiots had to say, that's why I reacted the way I did. No offence to anyone else on this board. lynch verb lynches, lynched, lynching 1.
