7 is very nice. It's Vista jacked up with out all the little problems and bugs. Also loads a lot faster than vista. Drivers work much better and will also update on their own. Booted up the other day and had a new ATI driver for my video card. Loaded up without 1 problem, I was kinda shocked since updating a new video card driver can have some problems if they don't unload correctly.

Still don't understand all the hate for vista.

For one, Microsoft was issuing an automatic update for Vista that trashed a bunch of different models in the Dell Latitude and Inspiron series and usually required either a system restore + update rollback or a format. Bad news in my line of work where 90% or our userbase uses Dells with automatic updates enabled.

My main complaints about Vista are usually update/driver related. That, and Vista is a resource hog that a lot of manufacturers chucked onto machines that just had no business running it. Unless you want to go into msconfig and start hacking out services, you need at least 2 GB of RAM and a midrange dual core processor to run it the way it was intended to be run. Problem is, companies like HP and Dell were throwing it on Celerons with 512 MB of RAM. Typically, that's going to run like poo.

I've been running Windows 7 for a while now and I'm really liking it, though.

Yeah, the update wrecked my Dell XPS 420. Had to system restore. Fortunately my computer was only a few weeks old at the time, so I didn't lose much. I turned of automatic updates, and it's been smooth sailing since then.

But as far as Windows 7; are those not the worst commercials you have ever seen? Yeah, when I'm in the market for a $2,000 computer, I'm looking for the endorsement of a 3 year old screaming Asian girl and a the worlds worst animal-themed slideshow presentation ever. God, that sh** makes me want to gouge my eyeballs out witha rusty spoon. WTF, Microsoft? That's your answer to the very successful "I'm a Mac" ads?

Forgot to mention, when you are going through the process be on the lookout for a small spot of text that reads something like "Need to connect to a college network?" or something along those lines. Click that and you can get Windows 7 Pro instead of Home Premium for the same price.

EDIT: And I'm pretty sure that this deal runs until Jan. 1st, 2010. Could be wrong though.

      Canales is holding us back

      I don't think Dave touches the defense. That might be a mark against him but definitely a huge red flag for evero. He refuses to run anything other than soft zone and when you don't get pressure that's an awful scheme

      You don't have to convince me. I think not picking up the option should absolutely be firmly on the table but I just do not see Tepper and Morgan doing that for previously stated reasons. Therefore I'm not going to bother entertaining the notion. Just hoping we actually get real viable competition. If that doesn't happen at the minimum then my perception of that is complete and utter professional malpractice.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By Bama Panther · Posted

      It was absolutely a catch, and I can’t believe how many folks were stating, before the NFL’s apology, that the overturn was the right call.  The ultimate question in this case is this: can a player complete a catch with only one hand? Of course, we all know the answer to that question, and it is an emphatic “Yes.” T-Mac maintained complete control with one hand (believe it was the right) while the other came off when the ball hit the ground. The ball was in the same position in the one hand (watch T-Mac’s fingers in relation to the NFL shield on the ball) after touching the ground as it was when it first went to the ground. Going back to the question above, if one hand can establish control, then there was no need for the other to stay on the ball, so long as the ball doesn’t move in that one hand that stays on it   It blew my mind that they overturned this in the first place. This should not be a “We got it wrong on the replay because there wasn’t clear and convincing evidence.” This should have been, “That was absolutely a catch.”
