vista

Its the new service pack. It uninstalls vista and installs xp.

Unless you don't have premium. Then you get ME.
 
I never trust major news outlets with any story about technology. I mean damn, some of the things I do every day would make me a "hacker" 😕
 
I hate Windows with a passion, I hate that people needed a GUI to use computers. I was happy with Dos 6.22, I'll probably never enjoy the "Windows Experience" Windows 7 will be more of the same in my eyes.

I hate people who needed DOS to use computers. I use a sharp rock and scratch crude images of stick men spearing buffalo into the monitor, then rub two sticks together to make a small fire in the case with dried dung and twigs.

Really? You feel all applications have no need for a GUI? Wow. Good luck writing commands to manipulate videos or edit a photos. A print preview of a document you are proofing really does suck doesn't it. Do you hate the internet too and all the fancy graphics?

If you quantified your statement to say that you don't understand who a GUI operation system is necessary...you'd come across as much less of a simpleton.
 
Quebert has a different point of view. If you learn the command skills then you can use those to your advantage and do stuff a lot more efficiently than using the GUI. But using commands on a shell session is not for everyone.
I don't hate windows but I seldom use it nowadays. At home I use Ubuntu and that for me works a lot better than windows.

So you exclusively use command-line based Linux on your home PCs, right?

the OS level GUI made people dumb, I loved the GUI of programs in DOS, but for my OS? I don't need graphics and bullshit that takes me 30 seconds and 10 mouse clicks to accomplish something I could do in Dos in 5 seconds. Also if I needed to do file renaming on a large scale, I had Xtree Pro which can do things I still can't in Explorer. Can you batch rename files in explorer?

I still use Dos on a daily basis, and oddly enough I accomplish more than I could on a GUI box. But I'm old school so as zoiks say to each his own.

MrPickins - DeskviewX works just fine for Dos multitasking, I was just in PFS (word processor) and had an image viewer open.

Dunno about Dos. But you can run umpteen processes simultaneously in Linux.

How do you know how much I've mad using my "shells" you win at assuming. I won't assume you have or haven't made more. As I don't know how much you've made. See how that works?

yes, you can batch rename in explorer. shift select a group of files and rename the first one. it automatically numbers the rest.
