Windows XP Desktop effects

Well I have downloaded a few add ons and made my XP machine have some cool desktop effects with the start tab like windows vista, and the multible workspaces just like linux. Allthough the quility of the video is sort of laggy because of the screen video captureing software I used was the best I could find, so it really does run much more smoother then it looks on the video.

System properties:
AMD Sempron 2600+ at 1.61GHz
256MB of RAM
Nvidia GeForce 5200FX with 128MB of RAM

Arguing on youtube that Linux or Windows is better than each other is also useful if your time is worth nothing. Wish you kids would all just fuckin can it already. Nice vid, question though..does the techno make your pc faster? :P

BUY NEW PC, or du you have already???

256 MB ram was good in 2002 and that graphics card to and the processor is sooo bad

@Carbon1nTheRough Oh SNAP!

@Salvamea1178 Grats, you just pointed out the obvious, but you should see his current PC now ;)

@AlphaDuster You could make a virus for linux. However, If a person was to write a virus to get someones bank details, why would you write one for linux baha, no one uses it :P

@siriuslymessedup I could design an application and after it installs, I can make it prompt the user to restart the computer. even though it doesn't really need restarted 9 times out of 10, you will click restart, but all that is required to to stop and start the service depending on the application.

@siriuslymessedup Mac and Linux are very similar there based on UNIX. Something I like about Windows when it comes to administering it is that everything is automated in a corporate environment through active directory, and I'm talking Encryption, secure DNS updates, Rights Management etc etc. But there are somethings where linux works better in terms of functionality and budget. but 95% of the time it will be all Windows Based. also when it comes to restarting, it depends on the application

@DaFakaMatt ok tho pet, i also switched from windows because of limited driver availability and hardware compatibility. i've had no trouble with dual monitors or anything! i mostly use linux because i like tinkering, trying new things without compromising the integrity of my machine. so far i've had no real trouble at all except for one time in 08 when the printer was difficult to configure, they made an update, so now all is well. i'm not smart enough to tinker on an expensive mac #kernelpanic

@siriuslymessedup I'm not defending Windows, nor am I attacking Linux, I use both, infact, I have a tutorial on my channel on how to set up samba on debian. My VPN server is running Linux at home. But where I get confused is why do you use Linux as a client OS over Windows? I hate Apple, and I would use a mac over Linux :P, I had lots of issues even using Wine, Duel screening, if you unplug it, BANG I can't get into gnome. if you change the nature of OS, ur guna have to reboot Windows or Linux.

@DaFakaMatt dear you're talking about some reeeally rare occurrences there to be honest. i RARELY had linux Force me to restart especially in 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5... and of course it will have SOME vulnerabilities but why would i purposefully continue to use windows? it's like having a rich but alcoholic, distant husband LOL he takes good care of you when he's sober but he doesn't let you do whatever you want without having a breakdown HA. linux is like the really poor, caring friendly OPEN kind,

[DaFakaMatt]

@siriuslymessedup LoL. love, its not all about gaming, and yes, believe it or not, you do need to restart Linux on occasions, and yes, I did defend linux at some stage and do now, however I use Linux as a Server OS, not a Desktop OS, but it depends on what kind of server I need. Linux does not support Active Directory, and any other Directory Service it does do just does not cut it. And linux isn't that safe either - I've had brute force attacks from someone in china until I installed Denyhosts

[siriuslymessedup]

@DaFakaMatt ok then i'm a happy noob! i LOVE linux ever since i first started! i used to defend windows tooth and nail, oh you don't have games oh you don't have microsoft office and what not... but i took the time and now i absolutely love linux. i just never had to THINK of viruses and restarting and worrying about what i do 24/7 u should have seen how paranoid using windows was making me, sandboxes, virtual machines, antivirus after antivirus! I just never went back :D thanks tho hunny :)
