1. Comment - Want a Windows Live Messenger Invite?

   (Jan 18, 2006 - 10:26 AM)

   I would not like WLM, i can get that elsewhere. I would like to put everything to rest about this article though. First off: You do NOT want another lame WFW. You certainly don't want WAS, and you really shouldn't be suggesting things that XP is doing already (eg a post regarding incorporating multi-desktops/windows enhancements, please browse the MS website for "powertoys")
   Also, you do not want it to turn into mac OSX as this would SUCK BALLS for powerusers and IT pros (like me)
   Finally, somebody asked for windows vista to be able to play DVDs straight from the BIOS. If you really want this to happen, try reading up on what a BIOS is/does. WV has NO control over the BIOS of your computer, and CANNOT gain control over it.
   
   What i want to see in WV has already been included (as has much of what is in here). So there's no need to elaborate on that.
   
   For those of you who want WV to work on "older" machines, buy 95/98 they work as well as the machine does. Seriously WV on an old PC will not upgrade anything, in fact it will probably reduce the functionality considering the amount of RAM it needs (i have 128MB of RAM sitting by me if this is an upgrade email me (yoda2031@gmail.com) and i'll post it to you)
   
   Last but not least:
   If you want WV to have "OS emulation" (ie be able to use MacOSX/Linux/Win9x/WinME on the same system) simply grab another HDD (or partition your existing HD) and install the secondary OS on that, then configure your BIOS + CMOS to either boot one or the other based on a keypress, or boot a specific one each time until you change it using the BIOS software.
   
   Seriously, dual booting isn't that hard (and if i didn't need all 250GB of my HDD and wasn't skint) i would do it myself.
   
   Right, that's cleared up then. TTFN
