| MPNQB | HOLY GOOD GRAVY! IT\'S LEGAL FREE WINDOWS!Straight from Microsoft themselves.

XP SP2 and Vista Internet Explorer test images. They are FULL VERSIONS of the OS that run in VPC.
The catch, of course, is that they are timed to expire, but Microsoft put out new images in the past after the previous one expired.
But even still. Want to give Vista a shot legally? Give this a whirl. (Personally, I'm unimpressed.) | 2008-07-30 | 9:09 PM |
| Todd | Re:HOLY GOOD GRAVY! IT\'S LEGAL FREE WINDOWS!Vista + IE? Wow I should burn it on a disk and run around saying, "I pirated Vista! I pirated Vista!" I think it'd load longer than I sleep. | 2008-07-30 | 11:05 PM |
| Brandon | Re:HOLY GOOD GRAVY! IT\'S LEGAL FREE WINDOWS!If you have anything less than 64-Core 256bit, 200Ghz I wouldn't even try it. | 2008-07-31 | 8:48 AM |
| Todd | Re:HOLY GOOD GRAVY! IT\'S LEGAL FREE WINDOWS!lol Vista is slow. But Vista IN AN EMULATOR!!!! AN EMULATOR BY MICROSOFT!!!! You'll probably get it to load by 2009 if you're lucky. | 2008-07-31 | 12:17 PM |
| aguma | Re:HOLY GOOD GRAVY! IT\'S LEGAL FREE WINDOWS!Actually I found that out before you said it and it took like TEN MINUTES TO LOAD THE START MENU!!! | 2008-07-31 | 2:30 PM |
| Brandon | Re:HOLY GOOD GRAVY! IT\'S LEGAL FREE WINDOWS!YAY for M$, they are hlping out Apple,Linux, and other OSes. Hell before Vista I could use Windows but chose linux, now I couldn't use windows. | 2008-07-31 | 3:42 PM |
| Todd | Re:HOLY GOOD GRAVY! IT\'S LEGAL FREE WINDOWS!I know because a lot of people are either downgrading from Vista or getting another OS. | 2008-07-31 | 3:56 PM |
| Brandon | Re:HOLY GOOD GRAVY! IT\'S LEGAL FREE WINDOWS!Microsoft is like a ship with a hole in the bottom, leaking water, and the CEO is there to get the ship pointed in the right direction. | 2008-07-31 | 5:35 PM |
| Todd | Re:HOLY GOOD GRAVY! IT\'S LEGAL FREE WINDOWS!Steve Ballmer? Bad Boy Ballmer? Personally, I think Ballmer with his tyrannical power is more like Steve Jobs in terms of arrogance and discriminating against employees. | 2008-07-31 | 6:14 PM |
| rCX | Re:HOLY GOOD GRAVY! IT\'S LEGAL FREE WINDOWS!Of course there's always [url=http://www.reactos.org/en/screenshots.html]ReactOS[/url] for an free and open source Windows OS. | 2008-07-31 | 11:26 PM |
| Todd | Re:HOLY GOOD GRAVY! IT\'S LEGAL FREE WINDOWS!I tried getting that to install through their LiveCD but it freezes when the installer loads. I liked it when you just had to unzip it and there wasn't that much hassle.
I remember when ReactOS reached 0.2.0 and I was playing around with it. I thought it was like a slower Windows 95 but they really improved over the years. | 2008-08-01 | 12:30 AM |

Balmer, that dude that sweats of a M$ Meeting, Lol. it's horrifying! | 2008-08-01 | 2:23 AM |
| Todd | Re:HOLY GOOD GRAVY! IT\'S LEGAL FREE WINDOWS!Bill Gates was CEO at one time but after a little while he just resigned and it went on to Ballmer. From what I've read, he's very mean. I heard he peers over employees' shoulders and makes crude remarks on their programming.
There are so many funny videos of him running around at Mircosoft conferences acting like some wild coke addict. I think one video was titled, "Dance Monkey Boy." | 2008-08-01 | 2:37 AM |
| Brandon | Re:HOLY GOOD GRAVY! IT\'S LEGAL FREE WINDOWS!Well M$ are a bunch of bastards in shirts and ties that only see money signs. Hell they cheat to make vista look good internaly, its all a big business machine. Apple was like that for a while, it was short of like "apple's great depression" and Steve Jobs came back and saved them. I will admit Apple is not perfect but its much better than Microsoft. | 2008-08-01 | 7:16 AM |
| aguma | Re:HOLY GOOD GRAVY! IT\'S LEGAL FREE WINDOWS!Well, M$ is interpreting this forum as this:

| Todd | Re:HOLY GOOD GRAVY! IT\'S LEGAL FREE WINDOWS!Every major company thinks that way. | 2008-08-01 | 3:20 PM |
