Hi, I'd just like to say to everyone who replied to my thread about having to use vista for a week because I lost a bet:

1) It got closed because it was in the other OS talk and was definately "bashing" vista. Which was fair enough.

2) Fortunately I didn't have to it in the end. I cut a deal which meant baking my friend some chocolate chip cookies.

Lucky escape!

Oh man you are so lucky you know how to bake ;) Otherwise you could have turned into a mindless zombie.


btw lets continue this settle humor throughout this thread and perhaps add more sarcasm and a dash of salt.

Or discuss it over a few cups of freshly ground ubuntu.

Hey, I'm not a mindless zombie even though I use Vista for Tremulous! (btw, I know tremulous works on Linux, but my desktop doesn't run Linux because the rest of the family hates it and doesn't even want a dual boot).

On the positive side since Windows 7 is really Vista (redone), you could have used the Windows 7 Beta for a week (still say it was Vista...technically ) and it would be at least interesting trying out a "new" distro.

Your laptop must be pretty old, then.

My family's (technically half mine, half my father's, since we both chipped in money). I can't change it though because they would yell at me if I did (and, quite frankly, Vista works for Tremulous). I use it for tremulous because Intel sucks for 3D. :mad:


Why?

Because they think that just because Linux exists on the computer, it causes problems. :(


Your laptop must be pretty old, then.

No, it has an Intel X3100, it is just that it is very slow at 3D compared to my desktop (which has an nvidia 6100).
