It seemed pretty clear to me that he was talking about the two "out of the box".
XP was pretty famous for its RPC exploits, and the "joy" of going online to get updates to protect you from online stuff.

That was quite the most confused post I've ever seen, I wasn't entirely sure which aircraft you were talking about. Several in one confused mess I think. But frankly as it ranged across several topics I don't actually know.

Here's what I think your saying. Because the US had problems with high speed planes, everyone else would have. So the British govement should have spent the money defending US cities. I know you are US centric, but I hope that is a mistake.

Anyway TSR-2 wasn't an interceptor. Hence the name "Tactical Strike and Reconnisance". Notice the absence of any interceptor term. I agree calling it an interceptor makes it easier to trash, but it isn't one. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Given that nobody wanted TSR-2 interceptor and the F-4s weren't used as interceptors quite where you got that idea from I have no idea.

Man, this thread is like going to a fight (Vista) and a hockey game (aircraft) breaks out! Everybody has their own opinions on just about everything, that's why we come here, TO SHARE THEM. In the end you will still form an opinion and probably logoff continuing to believe it! Life goes on.

Re: Microsoft VISTA
 

Well as our other topics go off on wild tangents with regular topic changes, why shouldn't this one?

You do learn something but, as you say, rarely change an opinion. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Argg………Sorry, I transposed the TSR-2 with the CF-105, so the post makes no cense at all. My bad and I apologize.

Vista Features, well its been about week or since i ran across this bit so momory is vague. Vista has a feature Called "Chimney" its ome kind of network performance ehancement Feature integrated into the OS and it does as advertised, Given that MS looking at a pending injuction of the sale of Vista for the stolen software. They ripped off a compnay they had been dealing with for 2 years claiming they where no longer interested in the product.MS settled pretty quick so the that new feature is still in there. I wish i remebered the name company in question, because that would make a search for that case easy.
Guess that one was also not signed off on by the lawyers, among others.

here are the links to the 2 articles:
http://www.tomshardware.com/hardnews...13_201313.html
http://www.tomshardware.com/hardnews...13_182601.html

oh theres another case that MS lost along similir lines.
MS's defense the copying was being done out side the US so now infringement was occuring AT&T was the victim.
Yes Vista may be better than XP but it still has its pit falls.

Re: Microsoft VISTA
 

What's with all the links to this tom's hardware lately?
The pages are nothing but 2 or 3 sentences, plus a link to the REAL article on a different site. And all surrounded by ads... Ugh. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: Microsoft VISTA
 

So what your saying is that if I install Vista on my computer and run an anti-virus program, it may just remove Vista? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif
I'm waiting for the follow up to Vista, "Gates 13.0" the first few versions weren't exactly right!

Re: Microsoft VISTA
 

Vista/Longhorn seems highly evil to me. M$ intends to continue leveraging its monopoly to get people subscribing and paying them regularly for the priviledge of using their latest bloatware, which in turn will do its best to deny them the right to copy data freely and privately.

XP is already worse than bad enough for my tastes.

I use Win98SE at home because I already have licenses for it, it doesn't insist I register or activate it nor monitor my hardware changes to see if it should force me to re-activate it. I find Win98SE to be clean and lightweight and stable (when I control the machine, as opposed to what can happen from installing tons of crap and stuff from the web, etc), and it runs practically every program I really want.

I like Win2K Client too and also use it. Win2003 Client I find far less annoying than XP.

I'm liking my Linux machines more and more, though.
