juno's laptop should not have windows 7

[mmr061485]

Your Opinion is crap... Best operating systems made by microsoft is Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7 Ultimate... Hands Down...

XP is great, But i can tell by what you say your not used to things that are big in size... Baahahahahaha!!!

[oliver18754]

Correction: windows 7 takes about 7 and 3 quarters gigabite memory space. Windows 7 isn't bloatware, that's your oppinion if it is or not. And also netbook all have over 100 gigabites ssd memory space now.

Why did the NSA tell Home land sec that they were instrumental in it's creation?

[ttthttpd]

Holy crap 1gb ram minimum! I can run my entire GNU/Linux system on 178 megs on average (when idol).

Seriously.. the truth IS NOT pretty... the ugly is to LISTEN TO THIS!

You can always read what I say on the right if the simulacrum is not to your liking.

[brianthemayan]

F'N nice... simulacrum... so padantic

[th3w01fv2]

That's "pedantic" and no I hardly am. I just have fun with technology.

My boyfriend really enjoys windows 7. Then again he has a desktop with lots of space

[th3w01fv2]

It's great if you have a quad. But if you are a small business trying to save money and yet have to use microsoft, you're SOL.

[BlondieCobain]

right... and a quad is?

[th3w01fv2]

The successor of the dual-core processor.

Ahhhh... enlightenment-ish

I agree with many of your points, especially the hard drive and ram requirements. It's even worse for us 64-bit users. There's no reason an OS should require 20 gigs of HD space and 2 gigs of ram. I'd like to know what's taking up 1.5 gigs anyway.

[th3w01fv2]

As do I. I have never seen such ridiculous requirements. I would recommend using Ubuntu.

[Homer177]

I've heard of it. I actually thought of getting it but don't know how much it is.

[th3w01fv2]

It's free as it is linux.

[Homer177]

The only thing I worry about is will I be able to use Adobe products on it? I use their porgrams for student purposes.

[th3w01fv2]

If you use WINE you will be able to install alot of windows programs they will work on linux. Adobe products are confirmed.

good call th3w01fv2. i have XP micro and that like a Lincoln towncar but stripped out of all the bells and whistles. i like it. it is fast and isn't a mem hog.

[Yerzriknot]

No operating system should require a gig of RAM!

If properly tweaked XP can run on less then 100mb of RAM. I for one plan to use XP Pro until 2014 when Microsoft stops releasing security updates.

[Chuloloc]

Interesting.

[VelcroBanana]

I didnt think it was going to fix the bad taste from Vista. I work on an Apple anyway but I have XP on the windows partition and I think I will keep it that way.

[th3w01fv2]

Vista is terrible. Troubleshooting it is a pain in the ass.

[TheReasonWhyGuy]

FIREFOX FTW

[th3w01fv2]

Damn right. I love that browser. I have it installed on all the units at my workplace.

[TheReasonWhyGuy]

One of my favorite things about firefox is the ability to freely reconfigure almost everything about it :D

and being a programmer, that makes me particularly happy ;D
