ah well, good job I didn't think much of halo on the ol' xbox then :whistle:

my 2c
micro$oft didn't get where they are by playing fair...and they aren't likely to get fairer...

We'll all have Vista at some stage I reckon. No, not you Doggers, not you!

But one dose of the Master Chief was enough thanks. :eyebrow:

I bet Vista will be 'available' before Halo 2 PC

Grimnar · February 09, 2006, 07:43:34 PM

this month beta2 will come out.

I already have beta1 but i don't like it and it is asking much from your pc :blink:
Now hoping microsoft is making a visit soon to our company so that i can try out beta2 :whistle:

oh the mother TANGOers lets all spend loads upgrading..........not

DogMeat · February 09, 2006, 08:21:42 PM

Micro$lop can TANGO right off. The last version on windoze i bought out of my own pocket was v3.1. I can't see that state of affairs changing anytime before, oh say, the heat-death of the universe...

I am so very tried of M$.

Is it just me... or isn't an OS supposted to be a frame for other applications? Needing to upgrade your gfx card just to run an operating system (okay, so much shit built into it that an OS is not a sufficient term) really annoys me.

Seriously, what's the alternative, given that almost everything is made with whatever flavour Windows is in vogue, in mind? Will games run on 'whatever' for instance?

I have tried 'breaking out of the MS dominance earlier when OS/2 Warp hit the shelves. I was quite happy about it, but had to give it up later on. So no, there is no alternative. But that does not make it right, nor me less unhappy about it <_<

os/2 was a great operating system. Its just a shame it was so bleedin difficult to run games in it.

I agree entirely but we're bolloxed.

Personally I have nothing against Microsoft except the fact there is no choice. That can't be right.

Forgive my ignorance, but if it was way ahead of it's time why couldn't you play games on it? :dummy:
