Hi Chrizz,

Can you elaborate on your thoughts ? One line responses are not helping us to understand what you are trying to tell us.
You must understand that this is a site for people that still enjoy using old computers. Think nostalgia. Understand that our machines are 10-20 years old. Understand a PC of that age was consigned to the scrap heap 3 years after it was built.
The MicroSoft business model is based on making you buy a new PC by making the old one obsolete every time they make a new OS. Combine this with draconian DRM with more in the pipeline, and you may want to move away from it. I suggest you buy an Amiga. The guys here will assist you in your quest for enlightenment  :lol:

McVenco:
I guess the triple posts are due to the inefficient OS he is using  :lol:
It is always possible that he wishes to attain the highest number of posts on a forum he doesn't want to be on !!
Sheesh, time for a :pint:

Yes indeed, Chrizz is trolling, no doubt about that. :horse:

Chrizz: You really have to get your head around this.
The Amiga principle is to do as much as possible with the available resources, to squeeze out every last drop of performance from the hardware. MS is the opposite. The future direction of computing must surely go towards lean applications running incredibly quickly on fast machines rather than MS bloatware forcing you to build ever faster machines (and then running just as slowly as the older software/OS did on the older hardware = no net gain AND no money in your pocket).

Now, what did I use a computer for ten years ago ?

1. Web browsing and email
2. Writing letters and faxes
3. Viewing and modifying photographs
4. Playing games

And what do I use a computer for now ?

1. Web browsing and email
2. Writing letters and faxes
3. Viewing and modifying photographs
4. Playing games

Spot the similarity ? Why would I need a new Windoze OS to do this when I can already do it ? Why would I then want to spend £1000+ to build a pc fast enough to run the new OS, after finding that the new OS is so bloated that it will not work with all eye candy turned on, on my present 1Gb/3Ghz machine ?

Consider this: How will MS entice people like me to spend money on something that I know I already have ? Doesn't sound like a good business model to me :lol:

I'd rather have a :pint:

DonnyEMU:
The problem here is not about XP/Vista and DRM, its about a Troll called Chrizz doing his best to upset people. This is an Amiga site. We know the world moved on and left Amiga behind. A good proportion of us also use Windows machines but we don't need someone trolling about the latest PC release and coming back with useless one line comments.
Chrizz does not make an argument, he does not attempt to justify his position, there is no rational discourse. Its like dealing with a child - I'm right, you're SO wrong !!

Lets ask some questions again. Chrizz:

1. Why are you here
2. Which Amiga's have you owned/dreamed of/emulated
3. Are you a troll ?

Oh, and Chrizz - I'm right and you're soo wrong and no returns  :flame:  :crazy:
