I had in fact defended Microsoft on that issue.

Hilarious. You came running to help some other guy's claim that Microsoft had "lifted" what is considered free code, very similar to what you were doing here. You're all for free software when it's foreign hackers or the Chinese government getting it, but if it's someone you don't like such as Microsoft you act like something is wrong. It's like N3WBI3 and his "open source" ping list, just don't dare try to use it like open source LMAO, since he then freaks out and all the hypocritical skeletons come tumbling out of the closet. Same here with you.

As I have told you...

Hysterical, you mean like when you lied, repeatedly for months and tried to claim Russian hackers wrote software that was in use by the US DoD as part of your defense of the criminal Russian hackers, that you only admitted months later and tried to claim was some sort of trick? It's still unknown if you posted those lies from DoD computers, which is something you've never completely denied. Either way, I know better than believe a word you say, you're an admitted liar, and you've admitted to making up lies in defense of foreign criminals, still here today trying to make excuses for them.

If you're currently happy with Windows XP SP2, we see no compelling reason to upgrade.

I defended Microsoft against claims that was copyright infringement or in any way inappropriate, contrary to your willful distortion of my posts. I demanded evidence that Microsoft did not credit BSD, and none showed, so the claim was considered false. Just like I demanded evidence from you that the OS X hackers did it for financial gain, and again none showed, so the claim was considered false.

Hysterical,

Hysterical that you have neither proven nor retracted your claim that I falsely "recited" the law. You instead prefer to go off on a rant and leave your lie standing.

My microsoft box still requires a reboot about every five days.

It's your problem, but if that were my system, I'd be getting to the bottom of it. Re-boots are definitely a good prescription for Windows based machines, but forced re-boots that often indicates a problem that I wouldn't necessarily be hanging on the OS.

Okay, your current scorecard (just for this thread) is:

#35: Accusing me of inconsistent views, "Like usual, he's all over the place." in reference to me having said AMD's chips have far better technology than Intel's.

#109: Claiming I said "most of OSX was "free software""

#111: Claiming I "falsely recite the law"

#116: Your yet again taking my defense of Microsoft out of context in order to make it look like I claimed Microsoft had done something wrong in using BSD code in Windows.

Prove or retract the above statements, or let your libel stand for all to see just like the last time I proved a list of your lies about me.

And then quit stalking me, and quit constantly ruining threads with your libel and taking my comments out of context. Almost every thread remains civil until you show up. I don't believe that such actions are appreciated on this forum.

Is there a part of this you don't understand?

By the way you're following me around lately, so you apparently do one thing but say another yourself.

More than half the threads to which I posted to recently have nothing to do with technology, let alone are started by me posting to you.

GE, AR would the both of you please! for the love of Pete knock it off! this post about a vista review has become nothing more than a fight about things said four years ago that have *nothing to do with vista*

If the two of you need to fight it out start your own thread.

GE Stop stalking AR and hijacking threads, AR stop feeding him.

"Help me out here guys: What do you do with someone who wont put up or shut up?"

Unfortunately, I try to make him do one or the other. I do need to learn to give up on any hope of an honest exchange earlier though.

I shall repeat the mantra: "Stop feeding the troll. Stop feeding the troll. ..." It's hard when you're personally attacked though. He even got a FReeper to believe his libel once.

If you're happy with the current version of OSx why should you upgrade to the new version? Why is one company (MS) held to a higher standard? I think we ALL know why, and the numbers tell the tale...

your current scorecard

LMAO, if you think anyone of a right mind believes your endless lies on behalf of the criminal Russian hackers that cracked OSX to run on a Dell, you're even more crazy than previously thought. Your repeated putdowns of Republicans, Christians, Conservatives, President Bush and his family aren't working in your favor either.

All they have to do is see this thread and how you refuse to put up or shut up, how you evade responsibility for your own posts.

I'm done with this unless any future post shows proof for your accusations or retractions. You may interpret a non-response on my part to mean that you provided neither, instead choosing further meaningless rants, and are therefore not worth a response.

If I'm happy with whatever software I'm running, the vendors are going to have to come up with some new software that I must have to make me switch.

Vista may have some new functions, but I don't percieve an immediate need for them.

I'll update when I buy a new computer.

LOL, I just counted at least seven links I put up compared to zippo for you pal. You got a couple of Linux hounds to post something on your behalf but even their support is running thin these days. Sure some people like free software, but only liberal scum take it to the point of endlessly defending criminal foreign hackers like yourself. You've called your lying quote "fun" though, so no one is surprised you're still posting BS in their defense.

Here are some Vista deals that everyone might be interested in...

Retailers bring out the freebies for Vista's launch

Thanks for the updates.. That's ok, I haven't had the time to mess around with EasyBCD or Vista myself, but just the same it's good to know there is a workaround.

On a side note, I can't help but drool at your cpu and mem specs as I'm still running an old xp1700+ Tbred with only 512Kb of ram... it's time to upgrade!

Ahh... I only have 1GB of ram and 128MB of that is being used/robbed by the onboard GeForce 6150 graphics.... Its an ok system for now, but I need to get more memory and a better video card when money becomes available... ;) Btw, I had this CPU overclocked over 3GHZ I never found the limits of this cpu and motherboard yet... i'm not going to push it... I throttled it back to 2.75GHZ(2.2GHZ was default) default voltage all is good.... Need to get 2GB of ram ASAP... probably this week...
