Back from a weekend in Bangkok.

Failing Epically with MIDL.

[ssmit132]

Okaaaaaay.   Anyway, I just got an 8 gig jump drive.  It'll take a while to fill that up.

Only if you're good at not accumulating junk or something.

You never know when you'll need Linux i386 or AMD64! Always carry it with you!

I'm messing around with Windows 7 right now. I have it running as a Virtual Machine replica of my EeePC, so that I can get a feel for how it'll install. So far it's going well, I think. I want to slim the entire OS to fit in 3GB, though.

[ssmit132]

Do you think Windows 7 will be a worthy successor to Vista from your observations so far?

I mean, if you upgraded would it be all right, or would it suck like going from XP to Vista? (Well, that's how it felt for me, but only because I took a performance hit.)

(Well, that's how it felt for me, but only because I took a performance hit.)

That's how I feel as well for the same reason, bloody hell, it took the Xbox 360 and the NXE (New Xbox Experience) for me to put confidence in Microsoft again

[portej05]

Vista SP1 fixed a lot of the problems for me (mainly sluggish performance on applications I knew and used under XP)

Still can't figure out MIDL

oh, and I spend far too much time here 

[Bob-san]

The feel of the OS is different overall. I can't say I like it, but there are some parts that I can get used to and some parts that will drive me up the wall. I want to slim it down enough to get it working everywhere. As I said, the VM is a replica of my EeePC's SSDs and RAM, so it should be an accurate representation of which vLite'd installations will work and which ones won't.

Anyways--this goes for any OS. If you're worried about losing a noticeable amount of performance, the upgrade is not for you. Supposedly, Windows 7 is faster than XP or Vista. I can't confirm that.

A drawback has been discovered; because of the sheer size of my 1Tb hard drive, I can no longer run to my room to watch near-hentai anime. I have to transfer to my 250gb baby and run to my room.

So as long as my 'stock' isn't on a 1TB I should be safe?

wat

[ssmit132]

Making some Shivan-like ships in GalCiv2 so I can make a custom race for them.

My ....errr.... 'pr0n'

If its not on a 1TB and I upgrade it'll be fine?

[Stormkeeper]

1TB = 1 Terabyte. Its the size of my hard drive.

[ssmit132]

Got NFS:SE running on DosBox. But tomorrow (or sometime this week) I might go on my good old desktop (!) to play it - I can use the Warrior car then!

1TB = 1 Terabyte. Its the size of my hard drive.

I knoe that, So you're saying a 1 TB HDD screws around with Windows 7? So if I have anything important on it and I upgrade (assuming it hasn't been bugfixed, which is highly unlikely), I won't be able to use it on 7?

[General Battuta]

I don't think Stormkeeper's been playing around with Windows Seven.

[Dilmah G]

I don't think Stormkeeper's been playing around with Windows Seven.

ohhh right, got you mixed up with ssmit

i thought you meant by drawback...windows 7 related..... dilmahs bad

[Stormkeeper]

Actually what I meant was that I had a few anime that are not hentai but are damn close, and so I generally bring my laptop to my room to watch those. But I transferred all, including those near-hentai ones to my 1TB HDD. which I can't lug around the house like my portable.

Dilmah understands

*unholsters his aged nickel plated 10GB Flash Drive*
I only keep the viewing material i actually want to watch and move it from my desktop to my laptop in my room as well
