Win XP Final

[Embattle]

So which one of you monkeys has it?

 

[SoWat]

Not me, though I bought the missus a new PC today which has a 'free' upgrade voucher to XP home version after October 25th (for a £35 handling fee...pah!).

 

[Embattle]

Thats a lot of handling

 

[Perplex]

Poo OS

 

[Embattle]

The final release seems quite good actually...and now I know how to take things like MS messager out its even better. However my main problem is the fact my Hercules Game Theater doesn't work with it atm

 

[Perplex]

It'll never (dis)grace my PC. Win2k does everything I could ever wish for. Spyware isn't my cup of tea

 

[Embattle]

Which bit of spyware are we reffering to

 

[Perplex]

Don't really know too much about it but the online hardware based authing, the inbuilt firewall etc..

It's just too fluffy for me too

 

[Embattle]

Hardware auth?

I don't currently have the firewall on

and I'd advise not turning it on Emb. Get a _real_ one if you want to keep the badguys out.

 

[Embattle]

Well thats ZA installed.....bummer that I'll have no sound for a little while

 

[Embattle]

Well I did have ZA running but it doesn't like Win XP much

 

[Embattle]

Trying to get to www.grc.com so I can test the built in Firewall but it seems to be down

 

[Testin da Cable]

I could scan you if you like
pm/icq me your IP dudeh

 

[Embattle]

www.grc.com reported Stealthon all ports.

 

[Testin da Cable]

Suits u sir.

 

[Embattle]

Hmm I'm going back to W2K because my computer seems to restart for some unknown reason under XP

 

[Testin da Cable]

is that while running the final build Emb?

 

[old.MrCurverUk]

embattle, fsk u

 

[old.8_Ball]

Running build 2505...sweet as a nut.

Scrapped the cuddly AOL look straight away tho and reverted back to Windows Classic...icons still aimed at kids tho

 

[old.MrCurverUk]

at last, someone who agrees that windows is "dummy proof" like aol

 

[Testin da Cable]

Yeah, build 2600. I've heard that there are 2 versions floating around with one being unstable and another being stable...I might try to get another version and try again once better drivers are out.
