You can't blame anyone for that. People still think Java is slow even though it's only barely slower than native bytecode now. Vista also has a cluttered, confusing, disorganized, and slow user interface (and personally I think it's just plain ugly as well). Everyone's in love with Win7 only because it's not Vista.Quote:

Yeah that would be very helpful. :)Quote:

Thanks to everyone who gave me feedback.
This can be closed.
Just dual boot it?
It can't hurt, I am going to reinstall my pc too soon.
Too late. :pQuote:

bullzeye, might I suggest you install ndiswrapper? Even if you have a driver that works, I imagine ndiswrapper would help b/c you'd be using the windows driver.
Also, you should do that if you have problems anyway.
Yes, I have tried it and it didn't work. However I think I figured out a couple days ago that the reason it's not working is because I'm running Ubuntu x64, and there are no x64 drivers that work with ndiswrapper. So one of these days I'm gonna wipe my existing installation and install x84 Ubuntu.Quote:

Bullzeye, what is the name of your card?

yesQuote:

Just install both Coh3n.
if you really want to have some fun, try downloading and burning a copy of
"iPC_OSx86_10.5.6" its leopard that can be run on no apple hardware. if you have issues just google your problem, its decently covered (unless you have a phenom or turion)
i got a tri-boot on my laptop soon. vista, fedora and mac leopard (well mac tiger atm)
aaaah yea (hitting some rough patches because i have a turion, i tiger installed but i cant get leopard working)
did you try toggling the virtual ethernet adaptor? i got mine configured just changing to a diff adaptorQuote:

I would like to discuss this, because your statement s just false. First of all, it is not Linux's fault that SCAR is written for Windows only.Quote:

Examples: Bash and Terminals, Program a GUI without a WinAPI that comes straight from hell, Inject Packets, Program with vim and an up to date gcc, Use your computer without the big issue of virusses (which also saves a lot of CPU, btw), multiple desktops, enjoy epic desktop effects with compiz, enjoy free software only, enjoy the overall freedom of your system, you can tweak it as much as you want, enjoy multiple pointers, and generally enjoying a stable environment.
Just my opinion, though. :)
Try what rogue poser said. :)Quote:

Is this true? :p Because that's kinda funny if it is. I've had my laptop on for almost 8 months now ^^ (I put it to sleep though, so I guess it's kinda different.. and it's on Vista.. but still! :p).Quote:

i will try a different version of xp
