Yes....most of me is nice....

....but I have a few nasty, evil bits too ....

Who is this new guy Zubaz? Anybody know him?

yeah...whats all this then?? 

Hmmm???

with all that excitement you have now RGadelha, better not pass out the day wb 7 comes out..

if you cant wait and its killin your insides, you can always create a separate partition and install vista..

If you've been around the forums a while, you'll know that there's a fair bit of 'chain yanking' and tongue-in-cheek going on all the time.... and I think it'd be somewhat unfair that this fun is exclusive to customers only.   Besides, Zubaz IS one of us... was a customer and user just like the rest of us.  The Stardock thing is a more recent development, but that don't change WHO he is... and that is a great bloke and a good friend.

Me too, I've been paying for a few years as well, and yeah, I'd like WB to be working in Win 7 also, but I'm also aware that developing and/or adjusting an app for a new OS, one that integrates into the Windows Shell, BTW, takes time.  It would be a negative if Stardock were to release an alpha or beta thast wasn't up to scratch and broke users machines, so the common sense approach of waiting until it is stable in as many variables as possible is the best way to go... for us as well as Stardock.\

Oh, and BTW, Vista SP1 is a stable and reliable OS that more than adequately serves my needs (x64).  Not only that, Win 7 is its direct descendent, with a few improvements, not that the 'average' user would notice some/many of them, so how is it that Vista stinks and Win & doesn't?  If Vista is a bastard, then Win 7 is the bastard child cos it shares the same genetic code. 

Don't get me wrong, I like Win 7 and will purchase it at RTM, but I don't understand the hatred of Vista, the unfair comparisons to Win 7 when they were born out of the same crib .  Sure Win 7 has improvements over Vista, but the same is true of Vista over XP, which to me, is a pig without lipstick in the absence of WB to make it look halfway decent. In fact, XP has been uninstalled from all our machines gere and replaced with Vista... and since the advent of SP1, I/we find it far more stable and reliable than XP, which is antiquated and should be retired/out out to pasture.

Precisely, Vista is pretty much fully supported by near all hardware and software developers... there are one or two apps I found that didn't run in Vista, but in looking further into it I found that those had very few or no updates in years... so I looked elsewhere and found comparable apps that were compatible and superior to their obsolete counterparts.

In other words, everything of importance/that matters runs well on Vista and is supported... unlike a lot of apps that were created for XP...

which I still think is a pig without lipstick.

Neither was I, but once I'd tried the Win 7 beta, now the RC, I really like it and have every intention of getting it once it goes on sale, but in the x64 edition.  I have a pretty decent quad core machine with 8 gigs of RAM and believe that I'd be able to get more out of it than with Vista, due to Win 7's smaller size, increased speed and under the hood improvements. However, even with Win 7, I'll still keep my copy of Vista Home Premium x64 installed and dual boot. I like Vista way too much, and the way I have it set up, just to discard it like I did XP.

Ah, but that will come in good time.  It may not be rerady now, but the lead developer has assured us that it will be available sometime during the RC stage, and most definitely by the time Win 7 goes gold.... so it's not all bad news, just that we need to be patient.

Yeah, that'll do it... an older rig will slow Vista down some.  Win 7 runs faster due to many tweaks to basically what is a Vista core and then improved some GUI-wise and etc.... not only that Win 7 is asmaller OS (less bloat then Vista), so obviously they've worked on making it the superio/faster OS to Vista.

Either way, when Win 7 goes RTM, I will be dual bootin with my Vista 64 bit because I like the way I have it set up and I always like to have a secind OS just in case I have a cock-up with one and can't get in to fix anything.  At least with a second OS I have a chance and can get online to seek advice, etc if the other goes guts up.

You're more than welcome my friend.... you may have a wierd dress sense....

but you're one of good guys who help make WC a great place to be.   Thanks, bud.

You SURE you're NOT related???
