I have "downgraded" 6 laptops from Vista to XP in the last 8 months alone. I charge people $100 to do so, along with lifetime anti-virus, Office (enterprise), Nero 8(full), and an array of other software programs. I am doing another one next week.

Vista is ASS.
ha ha..i do the same as well..except that i charge $150...

Yeah Vista is fucking GARBAGE. When I buy a new computer soon, Imma make sure I get it with Windows XP or downgrade. I never had any problems with XP.


Always back your shit up. Don't be a fucking IDIOT! haha

I bought a WD My Book 320 GBs external HD a while back and back up all my shit to it. Now you can get like 500GBs or more for cheap. I'll probably buy another external HD when I get my new comp.

I got the WD 320gb too....I use it when I DJ gigs for use with Serato and it's been dependable as all hell...No complaints.

The only "downside" to downgrading to XP is that you gotta hunt down the drivers for the particular computer which can ESPECIALLY be a bitch if it's made for Vista. I got mine workin fine but there are still some glitches with little things because the drivers weren't made for my model.

I've yet to have a single problem with Vista.

Weird.

*knocks on wood and wraps rabbit feet around his computer"

But yeah, get an external, I keep all my downloaded albums on mine. I actually need to buy another one soon. I got a 250GB one for $99.00.

^ I'm not saying a mac won't crash, but comparred to pc reliablility its way better. Spyware and Virus can't latch on to a mac like a pc ect ( unless you run XP on your mac). Plus it always stays the same operating speed.



I haven't backup my current project come to think of it.

<- is gonna go home and dump it on my external ASAP

It also helps to use the Firefox internet browser instead of Internet Explorer. There's many benefits. One of them is the popup blocking capability. You no longer have to see all those frustrating popup windows since the browser will take cake of them. You also don’t need an alternative popup blocker program.

Firefox has a higher level of security. Spyware and adware programs cannot automatically install in the Firefox browser.

who writes viruses and shit for macs anyways? not gonna affect mac users as much as PC. Thats why it wont "latch" on.
