My thoughts on…XP Service Pack 3
So you just upgraded to Vista huh? You feel up-to-date on the latest technological trends. Sure you’ve had to sacrifice some processing speed and the OS treats you like a retard by asking you confirm even the simplest request. But the shiny new interface makes it all worth it. Plus you don’t really mind. You don’t do any hardcore stuff like graphic design, video editing or gaming. In fact, Word, Solitaire and Media Player are pretty much the only programs you use. Well, get ready to kick yourself in the junk.
XP Service Pack 3 is scheduled to come out in 2008, and it’s supposed to *drumroll*, make XP run 10% faster than SP2! That’s right! A free 10% boost, and considering that XP already runs 50%-100% faster than Vista, Vista users may already be regretting their purchase. But knowing Micro$oft, this may be the “Final Solution” to blow all pirated XPs out of the water. My thoughts? I direct your attention to the image in the top right hand corner. I once considered using Vista, even though it’s a complete imitation of Mac OS X. I fell in love with the slick interface above all. I coveted it so much that I used the Vista Transformation Pack to make my system look more Vista-like.
But on second thought, I realized that Vista was like the typical hot chick. Fine as hell, but with little real substance. And news of this convinced me that I made the right choice. Windows XP Service Pack 3 is set to come out the first half of next year. Vista SP1 is due around the same time, but it barely improves the system’s performance. Another reason why when it comes to software, especially from Micro$oft, it’s best to exercise common sense before, literally, buying into the hype.
Vista is bullshit, i have the cd in my room right now, i can load it onto my system if i want, but i choose not to, i love xp, and what are you on about buying…nobody buys software:P, but you didn’t here that from me. sp3 is in it’s beta stages now btw, it can be downloaded and used, but i’ll wait till hackers get there hands deep into the code so Microsoft doesn’t figure out my stuff ain’t legit:P. I hope they don’t read this post
I’ve tried both Vista and XP Pro with Service pack 3, see my blog here.
Actually I think SP3 is cool, and though I am currently running Vista and Suse Linux 10.2 (dual boot), I may go back to XP because of the faster speeds and software compatibility (am in Uni and my software for my courses aren’t running well on Vista!).
But if you do want XP SP3, it is available to beta testers like myself (not sure if it is out to public domain as I type this). A copy can be had.
I’m so not up-to-date on tech — that’s all breakin’news to my non-tech ears.
Lawd not another service pack! I foresee another whole set of incompatible software errors. I’ll keep my XP, although Vista pretty i never woo me.
On emy friends has Vista and she complaining bitterly..I’ll stick with Xp
All I know about Vista is what I learn from those clever MAc Comercials…
Screw you windows bastards. Linux for evar.. muahhahhahah muuuhahhahahaha
lol @ Taylor, I knew you’d eventually show up…rofl
