Will I ever see a forum that does not have a MS Sucks - Linux rocks - Mac is better then all of you ? Well since I obviously can't be better then you (I am after all replying to this lil piece`o`flame) I shall join you fine people!

Different OSs play different key roles, and are deployed as such - as much as I appreciate the effort and time put into the desktop versions of any and all nix flavours they are NOT EVEN CLOSE to the level of refinement that Microsoft has on it's desktop (and Microsoft does worst then Apple imho, altho I personally dislike all mac's just because I wasnt able to buy one a looong time ago - yes I am biased!).

Microsoft is very rich and it shouldn't be charge us more then 1$ to use their products... *sigh* MS is a business, what a business does (or what it should do for you to keep it running) is print money (figure of speech, remeber kids, printing money and then going to the local supermarket and buying candy with it is a good way to get into jail! DON'T DO DRUGS!). Microsoft has done an excellent job of doing that and I doubt anyone can dispute that.

The way Microsoft did make the big money - by forcing developers into corners and not providing APIs and such unless they fork over money, is indeed, despicable. As is the way they made their OS popular with the IT-using giants of the world (think of the huge telephony operators and such) - but in present day and time more and more business are switching their SERVERS to differnt OSs.

Microsoft keeping developers from developing their games for different platforms? Mate you need to get your facts straight, but that's already been mentioned. Game compaines don't produce stuff for linux cause of 2 huge issues: 1. customer base (or lack thereof), 2. form in which the application is distributed (cause everyone uses Gentoo this month, Ubuntu next month, and *shudder* Mandriva the next) - you try building binaries for umpteen distros AND keeping them working on the new systems.

About MS having the "right" to do what it pleases with it's operating system (this is directed at monkeybone) - the fact that you agree with something like that baffels me. How would you like it if you could only ever use your spoon the way the producer said? What if he gave you an EULA that said - upon buying said spoon, you will only be allowed to use it with jars of cherry-flavoured marmalade ?
You're going to say it's not the same thing, well actually it is. MS reserves the right to tell you what you can do with your product and furthermore you give them the right to do WHAT THEY WANT with your OS WHEN THEY WANT (you don't have to trust me, go through the EULA, at the section where you're informed about what MS has the right to do when you update their software). While it is their software and I accept that I should not reverse-engineer or attempt to make it fail in un-natural circumstances, that in no way entails them to ownership over the machine the OS is running on - and yes the OS is using MY equipment, MY electricity and, ultimatley - MY time. If they wanna treat the whole thing as a lease/loan then why not have them pay US royalties for using our equipment to run THEIR software?

That being said, I'm still going to be using Windows (xp because vista is garbage+bloatware) - I'm also using it fairly (got it free as well as a free license for windows vista business, and a sleugh of other MS products) because for better or worst it does what I want it to do, and has the largest assortment of software of any of the other platforms.
I want to make this clear: Windows is NOT the best software out on the market, it however does the best compound job of any of the operating systems and because of it has tons of software dedicated to it and (mostly) only usable under said OS.

Oh god, you've got to be kidding...

no i'm serious. some people list things they think are bloatware but it actually just something that functions different than in the previous version. so i want to know.

UAC
Side bar
ctrl+alt+del not pulling up task manager, but instead opening up another page which maxes my CPU (x2 5000+ BE)

problems:
requiring digitally signed drivers. The work-around doesnt work after updating either.



Cant think of any other, used it for 10 mins before I got a headache of all these pop-ups wanting me to say 'Do it' for the 5th time.

Digitally signed drivers? Don't know about that, so far i didn't have any driver problems here.
If you have older hardware then you shouldn't use Vista, but on new hardware it works fine.

Vista 32 doesn't require signed drivers, as far as I know, so that may be why.
I lol at anyone using Vista 32. Might as well upgrade to XP if you aren't going to use 64 bit.

If you try to fix tcpip.sys, you'll see why it's a real pisser to "need" signed drivers.

Minimum Requirements:
Processor - Pentium 3 800 mhz
Memory - 256 RAM
Hard Disk Space - 2.5 GB
Video Card - 64 MB Video Card

Recommended:
Processor - Pentium 4 1.8 Ghz
Memory - 512 RAM
Hard Disk Space - 2.5 GB
Video Card - 128 MB Video Card

try and sear next time before makng a thread, it was in the FAQ section.

After complete game update and pressing 'strat' button I can see main page. There is no text, no buttons etc, only background. Few seconds later my computer reboots.

I was wondering what may cause this problem.
My computer:
Processor - 1,5 Ghz
Memory - 512 RAM
Hard Disk Space - much more than 2,5 GB
Video Card - 64 Mb Video Card
Win XP

I suppose that it's video card's fault. However I'm asking here to make sure because my card suits to minimal requirements and I have already played other games where 64Mb Video Card was a minimal requirement and I didn't have any problems with playing.
Maybe changing settings could help?

o_O try turning shadows off? I ran PW-MY on a much worse pc than that on high...

edit: oh wait, all on low... only thing I can think of is you must have spyware or running too much garbage. Try closing any uneeded processes like antivirus, services, etc.
