thebiggestgnome I would never personally run a MS server under any circumstances. I have a Slackware box running Apache/mySQL/PHP/cPanel. Works great for myself and clients :D

thebiggestgnome Yes, actually. IF Avast doesn't run properly on Vista then Avast's developers need to address this, not Microsoft. Developers have had over a year to recode or patch software in order for it to run on Vista. I have Adobe Acrobat Reader and Photoshop CS3...

thebiggestgnome Hardly, with their entry into the retail store market (Walmart and Best Buy) Dell and HP still switch off almost every quarter in sales volume.

thebiggestgnome I've ran Vista from launch and I haven't had any issues with it. Like any other OS that's came out, its going to demand more, just like XP did and all other Windows OS's. I'm a little confused by the compatibility with current software statement. But I'll...

thebiggestgnome Yes, Considerably. HP and Dell are the market leaders as far as PC's right now. Dell owns Alienware. HP owns Compaq. Acer recently bought Gateway, which owned eMachines. Sony is a nice brand. Toshiba is another nice brand. Lonovo/IBM's are ok if you...

thebiggestgnome Depends on what I need to do, really. If I need to go somewhere and diagnose an issue, I'm not going to bring my desktop with me. If I'm going to play some pretty hardcore games, I'm not going to boot up my laptop and try playing on an integrated graphics...

Let’s start with Advantages; Stability If you have used other operating systems, once you have made the switch to Linux, you will notice that Linux has an edge over Windows here. I can remember rebooting Windows many times...

thebiggestgnome Not only that, but I see it as being able for a user to understand the environment in which they're working. They want something that is commandlineless and pretty. Thats why (among a few other things) Microsoft's Windows OS's are so successful- they can cater...

thebiggestgnome I think your first mistake was clicking on any screensaver ads :P A lot of that isn't necessarily a virus but Adware and Spyware. Don't let the names fool you, they're just as bad as some Virus' and can be more of a headache. And to answer your question, I...

The latest platform out there by Microsoft is Microsoft Windows Vista. Comparisons can be made to both the Vista platform, and the OS X platform. These comparisons do not come from just the "fancyied-backhanded" commericals that...

thebiggestgnome Well, OSX can run a virtual platform of Vista, but if you mean the Lap/Desktop can now run Windows OS's, then thats another story. In short, Apple recently switched to Intel Processors and changed a lot of their old semi-proprietary hardware. This allowed a...

thebiggestgnome Depends on what you mean by better. I'm very biased by Apple, but I generally keep a level head. A lot of "which one is better" ideals branch from personal recommendations and experiences. I believe that Windows Vista is much better than an OS Apple puts...

thebiggestgnome I can't stand the abbreviated lingo on the net. I can handle stuff like lol, lmao, rofl, etc but when people start misspelling words, using numbers for letters and don't type with any punctuation it irritates me-- not because it doesn't have any of that, but...
