goodbye windows.
My vista PC got a virus, one htat wont go away. the virus randomly plays loud 1-8 second long clips from advertisements. Randomly. and NOrton, AVG, and even manualy huntign it down does no good. So it's time to move on.
I'm tryign to do a tripple boot. vista, osx, and linux. and rightnow I'm not sure if i care to install vista ever again. Not becasue its a bad OS. I actuly find it very comftable. But because it's poorly designed. ITs divicult to tweak. Everyhtig nthey add to make it more secure just makes it harder to use. UAC is a perfect example of this. The programs written for windows always lack the beauty of one for OSX, or the lightweight of a program for Linux. In a word a windows program is Gross. I supose i should keep a little install of windows around just for video games, but realy, do i have to? No. Wine is so so good at what it does that i dont have to. And most of the games i play, QUake II, BZflag, Fallout, they have linux or osx binarys! so the point that windows is a "gaming OS" is pure shit. HTe overhead is so bad, the networking stack is totaly inificient compared to a *nix based stack.
So soon I might be takign the OSX plunge (Again). And then all my Hentai games'll be running in OSX, and look so so cool.
Hail Xenu,
