Posting to fix wrong mod. Sorry :(

You racist bastard. Africanamerican-mail you insensitive clod!

"I am being forced to sell my Computer to pay rent, paid $6000 new, and have added $2000 in upgrades, I will let go for just $4000 to the first lucky person to bring cash. Thanks to Vista, this model is very difficult to come by, it comes preloaded with over $1000 worth of software."

My loss is your gain.

There fixed that for ya!

Have you SEEN the new MacBook Pro screens? I recently switched to a Mac - and I am still amazed at how crisp it is. It probably has something to do with the LED backlighting.

The MacBook looks really nice too - apparently the screens are different quality though. I'm far from a Apple fanboy btw.

I beg to differ. Batteries to iPod/iPhone's are what gasoline is to a car. Gasoline powers the hardware (aka engine, powertrain) of the car, just like batteries power the circuits of the iPod/iPhone.

With your kind of thinking - nothing is really yours.

Car Analogy time. You buy a brand new porsche. You don't bitch because you can't put a Honda engine in your porsche. It was never designed to hold a Honda engine.

Apple doesn't want/didn't design the iPhone/iPod to run certain applications - and you can't hold that against them.

Hiro Nakamura... is that you?

There, fixed that for you.

Oh and I give you your geek card back.

Second post

I actually stand corrected though - because there are ONLY official Vista 32 drivers out there. And you don't seen to be the only one struggling with this laptop.... Dell has really messed up on this one. Did they have a XP pre-install option for the laptop? Or was it only a Vista or Ubuntu laptop?

Wow. Thanks for the info! I would mod you up - but don't have any mod points.

Do you have any links to the Windows 8 comment? Not doubting, just would like to look into it a bit more.

Wait, stop, backup. What kind of laptop do you have? I bet you I'd be able to find drivers for your system within 5 minutes. I've reformatted laptops - old and new - and never once have I had issues finding drivers. Vista in it's early days... maybe. Not XP though.

Especially with nVIDIA - the easiest EVER drivers to find for Windows. AHCI thing... what the hell are you talking about. Never once had an issue with AHCI or had to touch it on 20-30+ computers I have reformatted.

I'm sorry - this isn't flamebait, but if you can't find drivers for Windows XP - you need to turn in your geek card. Also I apologize if I misjudged your skill level and you are still trying to learn how to do more 'advanced' things on computers. I just assume because you're on /. you have an intermediate to advanced knowledge about computers.

I've never seen/heard any information regarding Windows 6.5^H^H^H7 being primarily 64-bit... On the other hand, Mac OS X 10.6 will be primarily focusing on 64-bit.

*burst damnit. Stupid Slashdot commenting system.

Year and a half? Dude, I hate to bust your bubble, but the App Store has only been out for 5-4 months. App Store

And how much easier do you think it is to write programs for the Android. It IS in fact a Linux based-os. Surely someone could have ported some decent applications over to the Android already. It isn't an under powered device!
