Got home from work this afternoon and found a message on my Skype, read through it and was laughing so hard it hurt, took me 15 min to calm down enough to reply and report the user. Here it is:

[5:10:12 PM] Ben: nice try, im not running any of those OS's

The thing that made me laugh so hard is Im running Windows 7 RC1, if he supposedly scanned my computer he would have known. Beware, the site contains some realy nasty stuff.

OSs*

PLEASE DON'T BE MAD AT ME FOR CORRECTING IT

but if that were the case, deleting sys 32 would have probably helped.

lol, oops. ty Kiki

thanks for the heads up on that

Its actually running great, way better then Vista and better then build 7000. Its alot more user friendly and not so annoying when you change something or install something. You have alot more control over the UAC and it just looks upright pretty

Build 7057 is not the final RC1 build, I'm running build 7057 x64.

Do not be surprised if Windows 7 has security holes. Windows 7 is based off Vista after all, and seeing as it's a beta OS there are bound to be security issues.

Please don't be mad at me for correcting it.*

But if that were the case, deleting system32 would have probably helped.*




...When in reality, you would fuck up your computer to the extent of having to reformat.

Duh.

Personally, I don't see what is wrong with Vista.

Ive got home premium 64 bit and I have no issues. Every OS will have loopholes. That is why I use various programs to provide protection.

Yes, it is a build to prepare for the release candidate. It is not the final release candidate build. The final release candidate build may be closer to build 7070.

I hereby plant my flag and declare this thread


"OS Discussion Thread".


vista rocks.

Heyzues, I don't understand.

Oh yeah! Ray, Nice grammar.
