I've actually just figured out that I could've ugraded to Vista Ultimate free using that "Anytime Upgrade" disc and VLite. Too bad I threw it away...
it did ?? its basicly a rebulid of xp. what features are talking about ??
vlite is good tool.. just started playing with its about a week ago
UAC was implemented in just about all operating systems but Windows. The look also, I've heard, mirrors OSX. That's it
OK, I know. I'm talking out my ass. I just heard it somewhere.
I can't actually use it with the recovery disc Lenovo sent me . You can ONLY use it with the Windows "Anytime Upgrade" disc that I threw away! I'm thinking about buying a new one off of EBay, or purchasing an Upgrade just so that I can get it back and start using Vlite.
Maybe a different company offered it, but the new Vista version is Microsoft code, right?
The thing I hate about Vista is that it's a goddamn resource hog. That's why I wanted VLite.
I have 2 gig .
The user portion of memory addressing takes up about 2 gig max before Windows crashes. But there's still that like 700 megabytes of memory vistas taking up every time you start it.
Worst of all is that Safari piece of shit - you'd have to point a gun to my head to even get me to touch it.
Microsoft products are fine so long as you reboot constantly. Their server OS is a piece of crap.
i like it just for messing around with other OS's its just like have a mini backup you can messaround with boot partitions all you want and not have to worriy, and it free
its definitly a mem hog... but with the prices of mem its not so bad, 4 or 5 years ago this wouldn't have aceptable
Last time I checked 2 gig sticks for laptops they were in the hundreds. They'er A LOT more expensive for what you get out of them. And I think laptops only even come with 2 slots, which are already taken up by the 1 gig sticks. No way I can replace that on my budget.
