You have Sim City 4? Radical, man!

Er. Really, Vista is bad enough they should have to pay you for using it. I pity you >.>

Yes I "have" Sim City 4. And if you thought I paid for Vista you obviously didn't get the screenshot.

ARRRR Matey.

Another good thing about my job, free windows software and keys (as many as I want) without paying a dime...

Looks like it's time they should update the background image on piracyrules.ytmnd.com.

Beh, I don't care about Vista. I tried using it once, and it was terrible. And most pre-2004 computers won't be able to run it...

I think 98SE and 2000 are still the best Windows versions, but Mac OS X and Linux will always be better than any Windows versions

Saying just bring back OS wars. So just don't.

Windows and OSX both have their ups and down, and obviously some stuff works better in one or the other.

Hooray, another operating system debate waiting to happen.

I downloaded a copy of Vista Ultimate this week as well ... not to replace XP on my computer though, but to experiment with it in VMWare and shrink it all the way down like I did to XP about half a year ago

I've barely started for now, but this should be fun ... it's also funny running Vista on a virtual machine under XP

Hmm...... Doesn't look any different from the basic vista
...Why would it look different? It IS Vista, just a "free" copy. Exactly the same in all ways.

I've had the opposite experience than most people actually or supposedly do. A few months ago I upgraded from a pirated XP to genuine retail-box Vista as an emergency measure to stop the rampant bluescreens. It worked too, not a single bluescreen has occured for me since ditching that garbage XP was.

Actually I have already managed to break Vista. I've managed to do an "Infinite BSOD".

I bjorked the software (intentionally mind you), rebooted, BSODed, then it would reboot and loop forever.

You were/are using Vista RC1 or something right? And you said it was horrible (on IRC I believe).

Ah, yes. I wouldn't say RC1 "horrible". It has rarely crashed on me. The only real problem with it is the Media Center, which is still very buggy in RC1.

And it's not so much that I don't feel it's worth pirating, I'm just too lazy to get a real copy and install it. (Although I might, because RC1 will stop working in about three weeks. )
