LMFAO

I treated myself to a state of the art smartphone a few weeks back, not a huge amount of choice out there as now 80% of them are running Windows Mobile 5 so I got one...

Having had a Palm device(Treo 650) for 2 years I couldn'ty believe how bad the OS was but I persevered and it was OKish just everything you did wasd convoluted and I was always closing windows then the microphone went tits up, it went back. I'm now back on my 650 and I now see that PalmOne has cow towed to the masses and brought the new one out with WM5 first so looks like I'll be going back to a P990i much as I dislike Sony and their DRM stuff

Feed back from a colleague of mine says phoenix will run on Vista....

On the flipside of sims, XTR WILL NOT install on Vista.... FACT!
and their attitude towards a fix is lousy to say the least.

Macs are great for graphic design and photo editing but I draw the line at that........

I have been using vista ultimate since the end of november (retail version)none of this rc2 poo and not one BSoD or error.

So I think macs days of saying it is far more reliable are seriously numbered either that or macs will be using vista in the next few years, hey they got xp to run on it!

So what was that sim that runs on a mac????? LOL
and if macs are so good why are they moving to a pc based chip (intel) hmm????

Intel chip means little its the Engine and they changed it basically from PPC to intel.

The only place a Mac lacks in is gaming and thats it everything esle and I mean everything esle Mac is going to run down Windows everytime.

Oh and of course windows needs a lot of IT support so it keeps you in a Job

Hi all,

I just installed Vista on my PC and I can't seem to get Phoenix to work with it, I get the following error.

"This application has failed to start because d3dx9_30.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem."

I have tried re-installing but no joy.

Any help is appreciated.

Adam.

Back to the old mac vs pc thing again... omg here we go again!
PC = Millions of Millions of users
Mac = small minority that are usually up themselves to be honest (not a dig at u personally Disc mate).
lol
Has it ever come to anyones attention that windows is potentially made with errors in it, its all one big money making scheme for Big Bill.

oldie but goodie!

At a computer expo (COMDEX) around 1997/98, Bill Gates of Microsoft was reported to have compared the computer and automotive industries, saying that "If General Motors had kept up with technology like the computer industry does, we would all be driving around in twenty-five dollar cars that go 1,000 miles to the gallon."

In response to this alleged outburst, GM are supposed to have issued a press release along the following lines, stating:

If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics -

1. For no reason at all your car would crash twice a day, and you would have not a single clue as to the cause.
2. Every time they re-painted the lines on the road you would have to buy a new car.
3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason, and you would just accept this, re-start and drive on.
4. Occasionally, executing a manoeuvre such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to re-start, in which case you would have to re-install the engine.
5. Only one person at a time could use the car, unless you bought 'Car95' or 'CarNT', but then you'd have to buy more seats.
6. (Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, reliable, five times as fast, and twice as easy to drive, but it would only run on five percent of the roads. The Macintosh car owners would have to buy expensive GM upgrades for their cars which would make them run much slower.)
7. The oil, water temperature and alternator warning lights would be replaced by a 'general car default' warning light.
8. The car's new seats would force everyone to have the same size butt.
9. The airbag system would say 'Are you sure?' before activating.
10. Occasionally for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key, and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.
11. GM would require all car buyers to additionally purchase a deluxe set of Rand McNally road maps (which would be a GM subsidiary) even though the customer neither needed nor wanted them. Attempting to do without these extras would immediately cause the car's performance to diminish by fifty percent or more. Moreover, GM would become a target for investigation under the anti-trust laws by the Justice Department.
12. Every time GM introduced a new model, car buyers would have to learn to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as in the previous car.
13. And you'd need to press the 'Start' button to shut off the engine.

lol... well like i said these things are designed with faults so that they are fixed later on. This keeps MS in business and gives them a chance to say 'hey we have a new better operating system' in a few years time. Money money money, thats what its all about. Just diffrent marketing stratergy really. Apple give there user a quality product from day one... in return they hope their users will come back and buy another good quality product when they bring something new out. The thing is though its better to have a system everyone else is using than one that not so many people are using. Just like when the guys in here used to advise 'go get a raptor because everyone has them and it will be easier to get help etc'. Similar concept with the apple mac/PC thing.

but the real question is..... what makes these products so successful in the first place that makes the majority go and buy them????? Is it because they are so good???? or are we all Lemmings?
