Fire Balmer.

Fire Balmer.

Am i the only one who thinks that balmer is a douche with an over inflated ego, gut and head?

Personally im happy with XP for now. I will probably upgrade when people start making games for direct X 10.

the MBP is quite expensive but most of the PC laptops that even came close to matching specs were like a thousand dollars more. Although im still $2000 in debt for it i can safely say that they are...

Yeah that was the idea behind it to begin with so that i could take it with me. originally i had it on my ipod but 18gb of steam files does not leave much room for music and now i dont need it on the...

Ok yeah Vista and XP are plug and play however that is differnt to the bios. When you first turn your computer on it will come up with the logo of whatever brand computer you have bought. Down the...

I know how it feels when steam does not work. I currently have steam running on an external hard drive on a windows XP partition on my mac. This works really well by the way i can't see any...

Do you have any sort of sound elsewhere like startup noises etc. or is it just no sound all together?

Try checking in your driver list and making sure that your audio drivers are installed...

What sort of specs does you new machine have?

I totally agree with you happygeek. At the moment i can't see any problems with XP and from what i have seen from Vista machines that i have worked on XP is still by far superior. Ok so vista may be...

I think the stickers should have at least stated the version of vista that it could run. It is ok for people like us to be expected to know the difference but we do not really make up the majority of...

I think when i do upgrade i will buy it from overseas because the mark up here is massive for vista ultimate your looking at about 750 australian and only $200 US from somewhere like newegg.com which...

Yea it has only its not constantly popping up for stupid little things it only really pops up when you want to install a program that has to change settings or that has permission to wake up/unlock...

Its pretty much all those reasons that i have a Mac but i really feel sorry for the people who don't have the money or even the computing skills to use a Mac and get stuck with Vista.

What really...

Lol isnt that essencially just replacing the whole computer except for the CD drive and the case. I would suggest going out and buying parts and simply building a new PC that way you can get a...

Does not really bother me just means that microsoft miss out on my money all together.
I would have put vista on my Mac if i could use home edition to do so, however since microsoft are being tools...

Really i find it quite irritating that we even have to do that. i think the OS should conform to the user and not the other way around.

That was because XP was made to only support up to 4GB of ram.

As for your Ram issue i would first check that all four Dimm's are in place and that your motherboard can support that much...

Yet another example of microsoft saying "you pretty much have to" when really it should not be the user that conforms to the OS but rather the OS that conforms to the user and does what the user...

I think Mac makes a pretty good point about this new popup system at www.apple.com/getamac (http://www.apple.com/getamac) in the security video.

I think you are right though we may know why...

The problem itself lies with windows new "stronger" security. Basically the reason these sites are slow is because IE7 is scanning the website as it loads with its new fancy phishing filter. What i...

Maybe it is just the fact that i am not old enough to remeber anything about previous releases of Windows or wether it is just that i did not care much for operating system bugs and faults but it...

Having just bought a vista machine for my workplace yesterday i must say that i am very unimpressed. When i turned the machine on i got a windows is preparing to start up for the first time message...
