I just went and checked this blog out. It's kinda funny. Yes it's defintely mean spirited, but if all those pictures are really her I don't think she has much of a case. Now half the world is checking out her horse face and being dirty with douchebags. Uh oh now maybe she will sue me.

I hate when snotty little hipsters tell me to use "Firefox" cause it's "better''. All I do is click the X button in my IE 7 web browser and make it a point to never visit again.

I keep hearing random idiots and nobodies preaching on how "digital distrobution" is going to take over physical media any day now. Ikeep chuckling everytime I hear it because these guys must not live in the real world. Why in the hell am I going to wan tto download a 4 GB file to stuff on a hard drive for 10-15 bucks when I can buy the thing and own a physical copy for much less.

I hate firefox. I don't care how many people think it's the second coming, or how "cool" it is. It sucks.

I am a web developer and I can't tell you how many times I get a site looking just how I want it, only to discover something is broken in Firefox.

IE 7 for me is also quicker to boot up and quicker to shut down. On Vista AND on XP. Firefox also looks like it was made by programmers programming on linux. Dull grey tool bar, boring windows, uninspired icons.

Then there is the whole "it's more secure than IE". I've been using the interwebs since the beginning and have only gotten infected about twice waaaay back before firefox was even out. That's really because I was deep in the bowels of the internet, clicking on whatever came my way. It's the same principle with Mac users touting "MACS DON'T GET VIRUSES" - because you only have 10% of the market share. There was just a link on Neowin how Firefox was the most vulnerable app on windows - WTF?

So yeah, I'll stick with evil vista and IE7.

Unfortuenatly this isn't a game I want to play on a pc. Try it with Far Cry 2. I do applaud ubisoft for giving it a go, but when it doesn't turn out exactly how they planned, who will they blame?

you guys gotta quit puttin your newest articles from the mag up here so early. This is the second article from the latest issue that I read on the site when it's been in my magazine I haven't finished reading yet. What's the point of paying for the mag when I can read all the articles in a week or so for free

Im using vista ultimate, and so far, I like it.

 But let me tell you getting everything up and running with it was a nightmare. I have a fairly new msi p6n diamond board, which supposedly came with vista drivers. Was getting random lockups and hangs all the time. Did a buttload of research when I started getting blue screens for nvstore.sys and it turns out it;s the sata drivers. Had to track down those nforce drivers and upgraded them. Vistsa still decided to use the old drivers for some reason so i had to research what was going on, then uninstalled the old drivers and installed the new ones and finally got it running.

THEN was still getting blue screens, but this one was related to rt500sys, a linksys driver it turns out, for my wmp54g network adapter. Did an assload of research on that and Linksys does not support that model anymore with vista. But microsoft does apparently and made updated drivers for it, so I had to track that down through windows update.

FInally after all that hell vista is up and running and i do like it much better than XP. But i can see where the shear hate can come from regarding vista. I never had so many problems getting up and running in xp, but it could be I got into computers around the time sp1 came out. I guess you can't blame microsoft as much because they were third party drivers as the culprit, but man I wasted a lot of time trying to get everything working. People who just want their stuff to work I can see why it's a huge turn off to have these problems, and with me espeiclaly with newer hardware. That left me a little confused as to why I'd be having so many issues.

Anyway, I hope windows 7 really hits the nail on the head because getting vista going was a nightmare. But I DO like it much more than XP and wouldn't go back.

I will chime in as well that the whole red aids thing has gotten slightly annoying.

Well both CS3 and CS4 were plagued with a myriad of problems when they launched. Install nightmares, "clean up" scripts, random services installing, etc. After the CS3 fiasco people likely looked for alternative software packages. The true design professionals will likely not have a true alternative at the moment, but non-design businesses will look to other things like Corel or open source alternatives. Even some passing designers have probably switched to corel or have just chosen not to upgrade till Adobe really tightens up it's suite. I know photoshop, etc have always been expensive, but 2500 bucks is pushing it.
