lol.
Facebook and Google browser games are all I really have as an alternative. hah
After 3 months and thousands of web site researches.. I FINALLY got World of Warcraft to work on Mint... (On Windows I was getting up to 160 FPS on a good day.. down to no less than 40 on a bad day).
FPS, using Wine: 2-5 >.< (and no sound:\ ) ... I installed on a Virtual Drive of Win 7 (and Win 7 booted and ran faster than an actual install :o ) .. BUT, I could never get WoW to run :/ not much choice for games :/
“Nerds and techies still seem to prefer Windows XP Pro”
I’m not a nerd or a techie although I used to be, and I’m hanging on to our old desktop with XP like grim death. One laptop has Vista (God help us all), the netbook has Win 7, and the new desktop has Win 7. So many of my favorite applications aren’t recognized by the newer versions and won’t even load. I’m grieving the loss of my WordPerfect 12 program.
Bigger than Vista, bigger than the Zune!!!
That sucker better be repealed by then.
Not quite exact, they got rid of the start button. But really that and a dramatically improved search are the only real differences between 7 and 8. And that’s actually pretty impressive because the search in 7 is really good. Yeah that default initial “tablet” screen is pretty ugly, but easy to get rid of and land back at a proper desktop.
Go with Windows 8 or if not then what?
I'm a low tech guy with Windows 7 I think. (Where do I go to confirm which version of Windows I'm using?) I have a standard 2009 Sony Vaio laptop and doubt (but don't know) if it has this SD card slot (whatever that is).
Yeah, I haven’t had any document compatibility problems with OO, it’s editing features that I use constantly in Office, have been doing so for a decade or so, that don’t exist in OO. That and the stupid shared recent document list between all OO apps.
If you have to tell the media there’s no doubt, then clearly there is doubt, otherwise it would be unnecessary.
Steve Ballmer isn’t the brightest bull in the china shop, is he?
Win XP SP3 is what my family used. None even like Win7 in my house, so they’ve fallen in love with Apple.
I use openSUSE 12.2/Slackware.
For the first time in my life, I own a Windows-free house.
Didn’t see that coming...
I was thrown into this by a corrupted HDD. I have no money for a replacement disk or whatever after shelling out for the new HDD, SO it was blank, or “clean” as they say.
I installed Ubuntu 12.04 Linux and I really like it. I am really new at this, about a week plus a few days now.
I have fixed a screen issue, got the printer driver working, downloaded a new CD/DVD burner program- the one it came with was crap for my machine.
The Ubuntu Software Center makes it easy because if it is there it probably works on Ubuntu Linux.
Oh and I also installed some new fonts today to use on the new Open Office (Libre Office).
I am happy with it. Sure it doesn’t have the games and a few other things and I really miss the stuff I lost on the old HDD but I like this Linux.
Can it be modded in Linux?
