Windows..... Blinds, Curtains, Doors
Windows Vista is so so so so screwed. Hahaha, as in it hasn't died on me or anything, but sometimes it lags so badly. I now have no photoshop installed. Erghh..
The other night it was logging off for more than 3 hours, stuck on the logging off screen, and I had to switch off the plug to get the inexorable computer to finally cease it's adamancy. And the new OS runs none of my games (hooray to that actually), it doesn't even run itunes (because of some .dll error), and the only thing my desktop now is worth for is to store my music and videos.
So here, a tech-nut's guide to windows vista.
1. You should get it if you aren't expecting much gaming experience
2. You can get it if you want something that looks like Mac's Tiger OS X but you seriously can't afford an apple.
3. You probably might like to know that that means you'll get pirated looking widgets that are called gadgets.
4. And of course, the gadgets - and alot of other things - lag (but this is processor-subjective so...)
5. They have a built in anti-virus software (haha... microsoft is trying really hard)
6. New, simple net sychronization (means it connects to the internet as easily as the AirPort now)
7. Search engines that are much more 'cleverer' (they no longer wait for you to click 'search' before it begins churning to speed)
Right now, vista looks like a bimbo.
Beautiful, but not-so-capable.
But of course, if you're running it on a pentium 4 like what I am doing, I don't think it can do it any good. It's like giving a bimbo a small brain to start with, so I can't blame it if anyone bangs into some walls. haha...
It's relatively obvious that windows is trying to catch up with apple. (with all the floating windows, the shiny icons etc.) And I must admit they have done a good job with that. Unlike Windows XP, vista looks way more sleek and professional. Compared based on aesthetic qualities, windows vista has indeed elevated itself into a new paradigm of personal computing.
But I'm not saying all this doesn't come with a price. It means getting better processors and ram and all the other computer-related-names-that-I-don't-know-of. Lol.. yea..
And the worst thing about Vista is....
Hahahahaha... super anti-climax right. yes I know, I know, so to appease everyone, let's all watch Captain Planet! My favourite cartoon of all time :] hahaha super old school, and I think the Fire dude is the coooolest planeteer man..
