just for context, i’ve been daily driving this thinkpad z61m with windows vista sp2 for the past week and it’s actually been pretty damn good lol. sorry, i just don’t like linux that much. though i might post haiku in the future :3
Vista was fine. It got a bad rep because it introduced a lot of changes that are normal now, like UAC. It took a bullet for 7.
From what I understand, 7 = bugfixed Vista with a different GUI.
the main change was that it came out in an era of faster computers lol
i’d say it was more because the hardware requirements lol, if it came out in, say, 2008, I feel like people would’ve already had better computers and it would’ve been better received. that being said, it’ll be fine on high end hardware as far back as 2004 I believe
Are you familiar with Retro Systems Revival?
no but that seems interesting
nice legs :)
thanks :3
*gasp* how could u /lh
photoshop hehe
Some versions do, or just use GIMP which does most of it anyway
I’m curious what are the specs on your machine
this one? sure, it’s a ThinkPad Z61m, TYPE 9450-D9U blah blah blah Intel Core 2 Duo T7200, ATI Mobility Radeon X1400, 2GB DDR2, 500GB 7200RPM HDD (came with 120GB 5400RPM), 1680x1050 LCD, 9-cell battery (with about 60% capacity), and 0.3mp webcam
Did you upgrade any of it or was that how it came out of the box? I like the look of it and the old thinkpad keyboards
At least you’re using the objectively best version of Windows
Wh-wh-what!?!? XP Media Centre Edition is spinning in its grave right now
actually this thing is dual booted with XP Pro SP3 and Vista Home Premium SP2
true :p i love vista
Daily drive Haiku on that thing! I dare ya!!!
running Haiku on my T410 but yea I tried that, couldn’t get school WiFi to work :\
Slightly disappointed it’s not Windows Me…
