Your preferred ideology is "Vista sucks." It is quite obvious.2) My preferred 'ideology' ? xD
Your statements were disgustingly exaggerated. For many, that is equivalent to BS.3) I don't spread BS. Hell there's a whole piece of software to disable the Spyware MS built into XP.
Here, you may find that what petteyg359 actually wrote was this:petteyg359 wrote: "...just the old, standard, boring Vista-bashing."
4) Old? Standard? I guess you've said it all right there. My experiences seem to be 'standard' ..
I don't see that happening. You provide no documentation of your points, just the old, standard, boring Vista-bashing.Talk about advertisement ? Most of the posts I've seen seem like an advertisement for Vista. I can only pity the average user, but word spreads, already nearly half of all new computer users are requesting XP from the shop, and if they don't give it, they go somewhere else. Actions speak louder than words.

Rude? Insulted? Did I said BS? Interesting how some guys mistake their OS for the GF.
Again, what I actually wrote:
What you wrote, and why I wrote the above:OP was very close to just being an ad, and also rather rudely insulted pretty much every person on this forum who answers questions about 32-bit vs 64-bit, 4GB limit, PAE, etc.
The answer to this question is so simple, it begs the question how so many intelligent people who all spout technical jargon like a second language, haven't figured it out yet.

I don't know what kind of pot you're smoking lol, I never said anything about Installing FO3 to a ramdisk, nor that it had to backup anything to any hard drive.
Let's not forget why I'm doing this — speed. It is fast.
It loads the Fallout 3 world in less than 2 seconds, and moves between doors near instant. High gfx setting and all. I've nearly forgotten what it's like to have to 'wait' for an application to load anymore, lol.
Now I'm gonna go play F3 besides wasting my time ...
There's no way Fallout 3 is loading the environment in 2 seconds unless you're running from an SSD, have a SCSI, SAS, or similar drive with insane RPM, or were running it from the RAM disk.
A crappy interface decision. One line of text, stating the current amount of available RAM in the "create disk" dialog would suffice, but it isn't there. Two clicks, you say? There should be zero. That's like adding a button to the drive properties dialog in Windows, and not showing you the actual size of the drive you're looking at until you click the button. Sheer stupidity on the part of the interface designer(s).petteyg359 wrote: "The interface for adding a new disk is pretty lame. It does not tell you how much RAM is available, whether OS or "unmanaged". You have to go to another dialog for that."
LOL I thought it was quite easy to use, and that's saying something. Yes you have to click twice to open another dialogue box to say how much of your 'Unmanaged' +4GB RAM is available. Which is pretty cool on a 32bit system You remind me of that guy on the Fightclub movie, when he was looking at the commercial for the thing that blows air up your a**. You remind me of the guy in the commercial, no pun intended. Click twice? jeez. Have to open another dialogue box, my god man.
If it is so rock stable, then why put the big WARNING!!! suggesting frequent ghost backups?petteyg359 wrote: "As you stated above, using it for a swap file can easily cause crashes. Unless you have 16GB+ memory,.."
WTF 16GB I have half that? NO. I said it was rock stable. did you learn english in a foreign country? Don't put any more words in my mouth because its starting to get insulting. The Swapfile is fine, as long as you tick the clearpagefile@shutdown option in XP, and clearing a ramdisk takes how long did I hear you say? No, no long waiting time. milliseconds.
No it doesn't. A modern supercomputer is designed for massive amounts of parallel processing. A modern supercomputer with thousands of cores and terabytes of RAM isn't going to perform any better than your current system for applications that use one or two threads.petteyg359 wrote: "A potentially crashy swap file is quite useless, especially if your system rarely makes use of the swap space anyway. "
IF that were true, I'd tend to agree with you. I'm a bit of a perfectionist though, and wouldn't have wasted my time posting this unless the performance increase was spectacular. Which it is, which means the system utilizes the Swapfile for a lot more junk than we think, which it does. Which is why my computer runs like a super-computer now
You claiming that I'm putting words in your mouth when you've clipped bits and pieces of quotes that you don't seem to like is funny, but also sad. I pity hypocrites.
Wrong again.If every person here with a techie question gets the answer "buy Vista buy Vista buy Vista" a poor baby-boomer may just buy it and find all his software not being able to run, and he won't be able to hear any answer to his problems over all the sheeple baying "vista" "vista" "VISTA" You should consider the name "Ideologically driven Vista sheeple"
1. That "poor baby boomer" isn't going out and buying a machine with 8GB memory.
2. That "poor baby boomer" isn't going to have problems running "all his software" with Vista because 99% of the [old, standard, boring] problems don't exist.
3. We don't tell everyone to buy Vista. Many of us, however, tell people to quit throwing FUD.
I use Vista Ultimate 64-bit, XP Home, and Gentoo Linux. In the past, I've used Windows 95, 98, 98SE, ME, and 2000. I've also used SuSE, Debian, Storm, and Mandriva Linux. You might find a small bit of enlightenment by reading signatures... many of us include our OS usage there.PS: Oh, right I forgot. You're all using Vista. You can't even envisage an OS running without crashing at some point.
Learn to use the quote tag. Don't double post. You still have not provided evidence to support 50% of people refusing to buy a computer with Vista. I and others are well aware that Vista did not and is not selling as well as Microsoft would like it to. I and others are also well aware that people are, in fact, buying computers with Vista, despite the numbers being less than wished for. Where did we all claim it was perfect? For one complaining of others putting words in your mouth, you sure seem to repeat a lot of things that were never said in the first place.
