>>16197615
>SP1 has turned my Windows 7 into Vista.

Very odd considering that you're the only one complaining. Nice try OP

0/10

>>16197702
Of course, but SP1 unoptimized it and turned it back into fucking Vista.

Screw this, I'm removing all my needed shit from that partition and reclaiming the space for more shit for GNU/Linux today. I'm done with Microsoft's shit.

I like NIN, but Reznor is a huge Apple fag. Apple is training wheels forever.

for the record OPs pic is intentional joke/propaganda from a well known macfag and steve jobs arselicker (trent reznor)

>>16198725
And the propaganda is ironic, because a bluescreen is 98% of the time a hardware failure. The bluescreen protects you.

That the bluescreen is regarded the way it is goes to show how many people really do need to get an Mac and freak out 5-6 years down the line when they have the same sort of hardware problems any intel based PC computer will have.

The other 2% of bluescreens is caused by some legit bug or something the user did.

Obviously my percentages are fabrications in hyperbole. So, shut the fuck up and play with your fart app's on your iOS garbage.

>don't download service pack
>no problems
>live life

Honestly I've never had a problem with the windows OS.

I've only ever had hardware fail me.

OP you must be doing something wrong because so far I didn't see it change anything at all and well yeah, it looks the same to me, not slower nor faster

>SP1 has turned my Windows 7 into Vista.

>windows 7 was vista with a service pack that microshit decided to charge you to buy.

so wait for SP3 in a year and you'll be good ... except it will be called windows 8 and will cost you $200

>>16198854
>never use Mistake Edition

Well other than that, yeah I agree. Windows have been a solid OS for me over the years. People who are complaining either are too dumb to use it or install shit programs that kills the whole thing

I decided not to install the SP and install the single updates manually so I can see WTF microsoft are inserting into me,

No problems on my illegally activated copy of Win 7 + sp1.

Do you actually understand what a service pack is?
Do you understand what is contained within this new service pack for windows 7?.

>using Vista 64-bit on a Pentium D 2.8ghz 820
>Used to use 32-bit with no service packs installed
>installed all service packs, no change in system speed
>everything still responsive, no blue screens or crashes, etc
NIggers don't know technology.

Service packs are the means by which product updates are distributed. Service packs may contain updates for system reliability, program compatibility, security, and more. All of these updates are conveniently bundled for easy downloading.

Microsoft released the first official service pack for Windows 7 on February 22, 2011. This is an important update that includes previously released security, performance, and stability updates for Windows 7. SP1 also includes new improvements to features and services in Windows 7, such as improved reliability when connecting to HDMI audio devices, printing using the XPS Viewer, and restoring previous folders in Windows Explorer after restarting.

>>16199039
Apparently, bloat and AIDS from my experience.

All I know is that shit ran fine before and now it takes longer to boot, longer to run programs, games run slower, the goddamn HD keeps running for no good reason, etc.

And a scan for any viruses, botnets, etc turn up negative, as usual. The ONLY difference is SP1.

So I don't know what the deal is with no one else having problems, maybe you're just a bunch of MSfags in denial or something, but shit's fucked up on my end.

And you'd think that people visiting technology board would use Linux or at least some other UNIX-derived OS(or any decent OS, but afaik there aren't any decent non-unix OS'es)...

>>16199128
o noes its happening to me, it must be happening to everyone!!

>>16199135
GNU/Linux is my primary OS, but I keep around Windows for some shit stuff like games.

Maybe I should reconsider that.

>>16199135
you mean the decrepit technology board

Linuxfag here. Win 7 is quite good. Miles better than Vista. I don't know why you're complaining, OP.

how to activate Seven after SP1 installation? anyone?

>>16199128

I've had 3 or 4 blue screens since installing this fucking pos service pack last week. Yes, I mad.

>>16199658
>Win7 was damn good before SP1 and it's shit now. Deal with it.

I've never had a problem with any version of Windows since I started with 3.1.

I had some problems running older legacy applications when Vista first came out.

I stopped using Macs because they crashed all the time. I'm sure they are fine now that they have training wheels and Intel.

I don't use Linux because I am a faggot that "doesn't write their own software or something".

>>16199673
Entire thread confirmed to be paid MS trolls doing damage control on the clusterfuck that is SP1 because this shit is something not even a genuine troll would attempt.

>>16199728
this is the kind of shit linuxfags actually believe
linux isn't better, it's just a rough equivalent, it does some things better and some things worse, and the more outspoken members of it's community are like rabid macfags with roid rage

>>16199815
>linux isn't better
This is what paid Microsoft viral marketers are paid to believe.

Service pack 1 works just fine for me

maybe you "pro's" are just shit at using pc's ?

SP1 went smoothly for me. Computer is stable and fast. Maybe try installing from a slipstreamed SP1 install OP.

>>16199728
Probably what is more realistic is that you go fucking ape shit at the tiniest little thing you don't understand and can not recognize what you have done to Windows yourself.

Oh, well I can remember one thing about Vista in it's beginning that was bad. It didn't install raid drivers itself. It would be nice if it would.

There can be bad software when anybody is allowed to make it. That's why Apple is training wheels. Kids and old people don't know what the fuck happened why they watched TV for the last 10 years.

Otherwise, I'm sorry ATI makes shitty drivers. That's why I don't prefer some companies. They make software that fucks with windows.

Imagine how much better life will be for you when you come to grips with these concepts.

Maybe OP has the ID-10-T error?

>>16199833
no it's simple truth, and the fact that the linux community not only fails to recognize it's own shortcomings but vehemently denies that it's possible for their os to be bad in any way is what keeps it from improving. if any thing goes wrong in linux it is considered to be user error, such as failure to run daily stability testing and then writing your own patches to fix any instability found.

>>16199947
I'll tell you what. Opensource is fine with me. Thank God or some shit for it. Most opensource is shit though. GIMP and Openoffice are rediculous compared to the paid option.

>>16197615
Sp1? what when did this happen, I must not have gotten it for some reason, please elaborate.

OP still uses 1GB of DDR ram

in the other way, Windows does quite nothing

I've noticed no difference whatsoever.

Does SP1 break Windows 7 botnet edition?

I love how SP1 either does absolutely nothing, or breaks your shit.

>>16200139
Remember Windows XP SP2? When I installed it it broke networking completely. When one of my teachers installed it, he got a black screen instead of the login screen. Basically it went somewhere along those lines for everyone I knew who installed it. Eventually it seems to have been fixed, but back then: holy mother of god did it fuck up a lot of systems.

Well, for starters let's just look at something by Microsoft that has a hole:

Where the hell did you get the idea that voluntary forums were the "official support", idiot? You are a complete tool. Also, lrn2 Red Hat

>>16201014

You can support instruction sets that nobody uses.
Meanwhile, Windows has the best driver support and software support on the dominant architecture (x86/x86-64), while Linux struggles to have basic support.

They did. They announced WinFS. And then development stagnated and they decided to be quiet until they have an actual product to show, in my opinion.

Again, you haven't used a Linux OS in at least 5 years. Unless you have some obscure card (that doesn't have 64-bit Windows drivers either), you'll have working wireless drivers in Linux.

>>16201238
>wireless
>driver issues
lolno

Also, he originally claimed that Windows supported far more platforms but was incredibly told by a quick wikipedia look-up

>>16201247
Try finding a wireless card that doesn't have drivers for Windows XP/7

>>16201238
technically there is an absense of drivers are many producers don't bother writing them. Ndiswrapper can utilize those drivers, that were written for windows and use it for linux. Sometimes it doesn't work though, its kind of hit and miss.

>>16201275
not OP but,
>wikipedia

whenever i run sp1 it says I've run out of memory and stops. Pisses me off because I have 500gb of hdd free and 4gb ram with no programs running in the background and it does this every time.

Hey, wintards claiming that Linux doesn't support your wireless card. 2005 called, they want their joke back

No. I said Windows is the most supported platform. Which it is.
You're trying to change the wording to mean one specific thing, i.e. shifting goalposts.
And the only thing you can think of is support for instruction sets that only has niche uses.

>>16201323

Nah linuxfags arent this dumb, posers like OP have mental problems.

I'll do that the next time i try it. I'm downloading off an ftp and i'm not going to interrupt it yet. thank you for trying to help me.

>>16201342
why are you so hostile? got some sand in your vag? My post was about using wikipedia as a credible source.Last time I try to point out something to an aspie.

Hmmm, seems games are faster in SP1.

>>16201374
You don't know what 'relevance' means, do you?
Windows is far more supported.
Your only attempt to argue against it is by pointing out one sppecific (unimportant) example of where Linux has better support (a niche market). Ignoring that in just about every other area, Windows has much better support.

>>16197628
This.

You fail at installing updates (simple DO NOT TURN YOUR COMPUTER OFF and click next), congrats.

>>16201403
Using Wikipedia for such mundane knowledge as the supported architectures of an Operating System is perfectly legitimate. Using it as a source in an essay is not.

>>16201381
Actually it was a rewording on your/his part in order to shift goalposts.

I clearly said which OS was supported on most platforms,
>Which OS is supported on most platforms? 'nuff said


>And the only thing you can think of is support for instruction sets that only has niche uses.
>instruction sets

You don't know the difference between CPUs, chipsets and instruction sets, do you?

>>16200495

Sure is butthurt in here

>>16201447

Actually it was "which is the most supported OS?"
But you keep trying to write very specific definitions in order to make an irrelevant point.

>>16201420
>niche market
>niche
lolno

x86-64 is a niche market, namely desktop machines

lrn2 see the broader picture

>>16201497
Reread the goddamned posts you are quoting before accusing anyone of rewording anything. I quoted your text in verbose of exactly what you said.

>>16201447
> You don't know the difference between CPUs, chipsets and instruction sets, do you?
A CPU is defined by the instruction sets it supports.
An Athlon 64 and a Pentium 4 can support x86 and x86-64 (at least some Pentium 4's did)
They can run the same software, because they have the same instruction sets. But are different CPU's.

>>16201440
Yea that makes sense, browsing /g/ after schoolwork doesn't go so well, lol.

>>16201497
not that guy, but
>implying "supported" doesn't also include what architectures they are able to run on
Fucking butthurt winfags

I think he meant desktops/notebooks not cpu architecture....

>>16201468
I'm butthurt because the only way you can make a point is by having a sufficiently narrow definition and saying "ah, look there, Linux is better in that one specific (irrelevant) area"?

You were shifting goalposts to begin with.

>>16201498
> x86-64 is a niche market
Okay, now I know you're trolling.

>>16201553

And you came with the irrelevant (read: untrue) statement that Linux doesn't support most WiFi cards. You are such a tool.

>>16201531
> hurr look at me I'm narrowing definitions in order to make an irrelevant point

>>16201578
Windows is better under a much broader definition of "supported" than Linux. Keep trolling.

>>16201591
>narrowing definitions
You just tried to narrow it to mean driver support.... God, are all wintards like this?

>>16201587
Linux doesn't, actually.
It has to make use of Windows drivers most of the time.

>>16201605
And by broader you actually mean narrow. And by supported you mean driver support.

Cool story bro

>>16201610
No, I broadened it to mean software support in general, of which driver support is one aspect.

>>16201631
right thats what he meant exactly
i swear to god you are retarded

>>16201605
>I am losing an argument so I am going to switch to using abstract terms to make it sound like I have point, when in reality all I've said is without making any logical points to support my statement is that Windows Support > Linux Support.
