Fjordmonkey Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 Well that depends: is the missus the one who you intend "doing"? Since she's the human equivalent of a Red Dragon and has a temper that would surpass one, yes :D Hell, wouldn't even dare to do anyone else, as she'd nail me to the wall by the balls, upside down, stark naked. Regards Fjordmonkey Clustermunitions is just another way of saying that you don't like someone. I used to like people, then people ruined that for me.
HiJack Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 Do more research on why secure boot was made. It protects the system and the user on that system. And you will all be assimilated ;) Jack

ALDEGA Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 (edited) PS: win8 i'm not going to use at this point because it costs money vs win7 that i already have.You can get an upgrade license for Windows 8 Professional online for 30€ (and do a clean install) ... That's the same price as DCS:Combined Arms ... Windows 8 actually contains a bunch of improvements for classic desktop users which are easily worth the upgrade. As a desktop user you can completely ignore the metro UI and live on the desktop side. You don't have to log on with a Microsoft account either, just use local users and avoid Microsoft's control over your system. Edited November 2, 2012 by ALDEGA
PoleCat Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 (edited) I would not say this is a lack of concern. Rather it is putting things in proper perspective. I am not afraid that MS will ever have absolute control over my PC because they simply will not. To suggest otherwise does sound a bit alarmist to me and obviously to a few others. There is always a backlash of fear and loathing each time MS releases a new OS. Out Edited November 2, 2012 by PoleCat http://www.104thphoenix.com/
Wolfie Posted November 2, 2012 Author Posted November 2, 2012 (edited) The lack of concern here is astounding. Scary, isn't it? I'd liken it to religious fanaticism. In M$ we BELIEVE! :cry: Oh well, the warning's been given. Let people heed it or not as they will. Me, I won't touch it. I'm not a fanatic of any OS. I'm writing this on Win 7, which I like in many ways. Very nice GUI. Just which it had more power and security under the hood, like Linux RHEL, or CENTOS. But this time M$ has gone WAY WAY TOO FAR. And I'm betting there going to pay for it in the courts.

Wolfie Posted November 2, 2012 Author Posted November 2, 2012 Actually, we have till 2020 for Win 7 support. And I personally don't see much future for Win 8 on a PC ( or for M$ for that matter once the EU courts get through with them ).

ALDEGA Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 Mainstream support ends in about two years, on January 12, 2015. Extended support ends in January 2020 but does not apply to regular customers (= paid support cases only during extended support), except for critical security updates.

You keep making hysteric comments without any kind of substantiation. and then you turn around and call those who happen to not agree with your rant religious fanatics? Way to go mr . Troll. Anton.

agrasyuk Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 Linux used to run ny file server just fine. What throws me into fits is your attempt to turn things around. I'm not a fanatic of any OS. I'm writing this on Win 7, which I like in many ways. Very nice GUI. Just which it had more power and security under the hood, like Linux RHEL, or CENTOS. lets see, you swearing oaths based on questionable one sided article. You dismissed substantiated counter arguments . You have several similar hysteria filled posts in multiple threads. Nope, not a fanatic whatsoever :megalol: But I see some almost technical terms in there for a change. So can I get explanation on what is it that "power" that you want more to be present in OS. Same for "security" , how many more kilograms of security does MS needs?:) . And I really want to get an answer on that "bloat" question I asked you in other thread. I never seem to get an answer for this one. Anton. My pit build thread . Simple and cheap UFC project

PoleCat Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 If it were only Linux users reading this thread we would still be on page one. This is not about defending M$ so much as not subscribing to very thin evidence for running off half cocked shouting in the streets with your hair on fire.
