I did 3 years at college doing 2 IT courses and the only thing I ever needed to use at home was a word processor for my assignments.

Maybe things have changed and they expect more now?

Yea, im sure its possible, but way more work than worth. Like i said before, the main reason is the music, but I run Solidworks on my laptop a lot. Also, i cant figure how to configure my ti89 with it, Flash, jCreator, .../ Im sure you could get to work on linux, but i would spend more time researching it than worth.
 
This is a pic of Ernesto's environement. (First in sig) This is Windows Server 2003 Enterprise with SP2 RC.

@Rambo: Vista is really cool looking, but you;ll see that it rather sucks a lot of resources and the PC is not as performent as with XP, or NT kernels.
I guess that's why you're still dual booting :p

How did you know that?

But yeah, I use Vista as my main OS. It's decent, runs particularly well on my system (Index score of 5.3) and I don't experience any drainage of resources/system slowness.

But I can imagine that on the average PC, Vista would not be as smooth as I have it...
 
Hi prodigio2k, can you tell me the minimum number of progs that should fire up at start up, I have no less than 18, one of which shows as Rundll32.exe SISPowe.....HKLM\SOFTWARE. I have tried to remove this latter but it pops up on my desktop at startup. Wish I knew how you guys send attachments I would send a screenshot which would better explain the pop up. Sorry being a silver surfer my grey matter is not as active as it used to be, struggling somewhat with this high tech stuff. Rupert.

How do I know that? On the sidebar of yours, it says XP, and basically, most people with another partition or drive with a XP label usually means that there's another OS in there ;)

On the average PC, I've seen disastrous performance. My P4 system is actually able to keep up, but not as fast...and without the Sound Blaster Live!

The second PC ran it horribly. The third hasn't been tried, but it won't be either :P

If I compare my most performent PC to yours, yours hits 5.3, while mine hits 4.6. If I had a 7800GS, the CPU would bottleneck the score at 5.2

You spent so hard getting it to look all like Vista, and now you've changed it again...?

Well, for starters. I had to unload window blinds because google talk didn't want to work with it. And I can't not have Google Talk. I use it all the time. :D I also like seeing something different from time to time. And not all the vista icons didn't stay because of windows update(You'll notice I have the vista my computer icon, and my documents but others are changed). I like to keep windows updating, People say it's not a good idea to stop it.

You do know that you can tell WindowBlinds not to skin certain applications, right?

The problem wasn't that it was trying to skin google talk, because it wasn't trying to skin anything else.....it just flashed around the screen a whole bunch, and did random things. I've had it happen while doing something with some different programs....I don't really know how to explain it.
 
Updated yet again. But only because I had to show off the original windows xp. I just reinstalled it!

I'll have some updated ones in a bit, I have a new desktop at work running win xp, vista business, open suse 10.2 and kubuntu 6.10. I had to get a new system at work since it seems I had a bad agp slot, after many frusturating errors getting beryl to run on my linux box I could never enable 3D hardware acceleration via sax2 manager. Long story short it ended up being a hardware problem, so I am building my new desktop at work.
