Back on Windows…

by Slack, on March 29th, 2008

I’ve posted this how many times before? So, I will spare the details. The only new revelation is I know why people love Vista. Unfortunately, I also know why people hate it…

So, yeah. Here I am back on the Darkside… Anyone want to start a poll for how long it will take me to get fed up and switch back to Linux? ;)


Shad says:

er…what?

Why are you back to Windows? Vista in particular? I hate Vista with a passion (right now I’m dealing with a wonderful “Windows recovered from an unexpected shutdown” message everytime I put it to sleep)

Why not just run Linux and wine if you need Windows Apps? What made you move back?

Slack says:

Honestly, it mostly boils down to OCDs… I hate having two workspaces. So why not Wine? Doesn’t work so well with .NET… At least now, all my hardware works.

Oh, and why Vista? Well, because HP doesn’t provide drivers for my video card for XP… AND nVidia doesn’t provide drivers for this card model — they leave it to the manufacturer since it is a laptop card… !!!

Dave says:

“make up a poll” on this site so we can! Switch because of being frustrated… blah! - keep with it and well, I haven’t found much better…

Mike says:

Actually shouldn’t be pool? (as in betting pool)

Anyway my guess on when Slack will dump windows again is (depending on if the pool is based on time or alcohol consumed)

3 months 1 week 2 days 17 hours 27 minutes 7 seconds

or 7 bottles of Johnny Walker.

Slack says:

hahahah It should be pool! I just made a typo. :) You may want to adjust your bet, Mike, since I will be quitting smoking soon. :-D

Dave says:

POLL: 4 a (1): the casting or recording of the votes of a body of persons (2): a counting of votes cast b: the place where votes are cast or recorded —usually used in plural c: the period of time during which votes may be cast at an election d: the total number of votes recorded

I’m con-friggin fused… :)

Dave says:

Or buzzed one of the two… :) .. Also.. where’s the GAMING!!?

Slack says:

Dave,

POOL:

2. the total amount staked by a combination of bettors, as on a race, to be awarded to the successful bettor or bettors.
