Idk about all of this...it's true to an extent, but in the end it just reminds of the crap that my school tells me...."At least you tried! A for effort!"

When you are successful, everything else follows. It's not really an easy mindset to get into, one I struggled with for a long time. When you're successful, you control your own destiny. When you're successful, you can provide not only for yourself, but for others.

If you want a good wife, for example, ideally you should be successful. If you're a failure, you won't keep her long, unless she's a failure herself... and do you really want a failure for a partner?

Thus, because I love my partner, I strive to succeed so I can bring her everything she deserves.

And the reason I know you're not successful is the way you've come across in this thread. That's all. I know how successful people act and react.

I'm not a success because I found this thread!? Wait a minute, you're in it too! lol

and here's another quote from the forum that banned SIRKENIN for rudeness to its members as he is doing here

I hardly think your post qualifies as an apology. You made some sarcastic and rude remarks in that same post and then went on to disrespect a Moderator.

You can take your attitude somewhere else.

He didn't say that, he said because of the way you come across in this thread, i.e. the way you've presented yourself.

A reading comprehension test should be a requirement for Internet usage.

Oh by the way guys, I saw a video on YouTube and it looks like 70% of all programs aren't compatible with Vista including a "screen capture" program which I need because I cannot find my print screen button on my keyboard.

So I'm not getting Vista.

Vista sucks, and it offers NO performance or feature increase to justify an upgrade over windows XP, unless you really just like wasting money.

The enhanced UI does not run faster than explorer in XP

MS feature limited their OS and marketed so people would want the ultimate, and I bet 99% of people who are only home users that purchased ultimate just wasted money. They think it runs faster, but its the same ********* OS!

All new features in Vista are to annoy you with security messages, help figure out why your windows machine crashes, network access protection (NAP - google it), A good way to eat up a bunch of RAM and really make the OS run sluggish, and yes I ran Vista Business and Vista Ultimate on a rig that was way higher than the required specs, with 3 gigs of RAM and it still ran like ass.

DX10 actually lowers your FPS in gaming - wow what an awesome feature! Also to add fuel to the fire, in a lot of side by side comparisons, it doesn't even look better than DX9. In some cases it does look better.

So, you have an OS bundled with tons of features that no end users would ever really even use, let alone understand how to use and people just buy it and say its great no crashes!. I only surf the web and play video games! That represents a small percentage of computer users. You start supporting thousands of computers and load vista on a few to test it out, and see a plethora of problems off the bat, you know its crap.

Not to mention Microsoft has given everyone this false perception that ALL operating systems are crap until the first service pack, which has been true with MS, so I can see where that logic is. When looking at other OSes in comparison like OS X, for example, you can clearly see that 10.5 was released in October, and Apple has already updated it to 10.5.2 to get rid of all the initial bugs, and it took MS a year to bust out SP 1? Most OS bugs are fixed with in the first few months with just about every other operating system out there.

If any of you ever start to develop applications for windows, and then switch over to Linux/Unix/OS X you will clearly see the superiority of those operating systems from a developers point of view.

As for the A+ certification I totally disagree with it being a waste. You have to start out somewhere. You have to get a job and work your way to the top and having the A+ would at least give your employer the knowledge that you are making an effort to better yourself. I hold tons of certs, but ultimately they mean nothing, experience in the job world is king. I have met people that can spout off all day about how good they are and about how awesome they know technology, yet can't use deductive logic and narrow down problems at all.

Vista also lacks all these promises that it was suppose to have. EFI support is a major let down. Also, for those of you who try to tell me this is not a big deal, just like intel did in another thread, google EFI - Extensible Firmware Interface. It will be the next big thing at the hardware level, making everything better and actually for once developing true plug n play hardware.

MS has crappy project management so they had to drop a laundry list of features out of Vista. Which just goes to show you it was released to compete with Leopard and is a half ass windows ME like product. Vienna will hopefully be better.
