How to make XP into Vista in 12 easy steps!

M

MicroFox

1) Take a PC with a freshly installed XP
2) Hack the start button and remove the word "start", so no one will know
where the start button is, then change the graphic so it looks like a
decoration.
3) Destroy the start menu so it wont cascade, so you will have to scroll
endless hours to find a simple program
4) Install hidden processes that will make your hard disk work full speed
24/7 for no apparent reason
5) Find a horrible theme, that does not work with all aplications and needs
an expensive graphic card to work
6) Thow a virus in that will delete all the imporant menus from IE, WMP and
windows explorer
7) Empty all your cds onto your hard drive to take up the space a vista
installation would take....
8) Go and buy twice as much ram, hard disks, and cpu power just so you can
run the same programs as before
9) Take your paycheck and throw it off a bridge into the sea.. because thats
how much vista costs.... ~600 ? for ultimate?
10) find a program that will simulate random lock ups and blue screens....
11) Throw in another virus that will rearrange where things was, for no
apparent reason, just for the heck of it!
12) From your applications remove random files so they wont work correctly

I know it was 12, but here is one more for free

Open all ports to microsoft so they can check everything you do, give them
your passwords and credit card number...
and say goodbye to your audio collection because drm will refuse to play it
more than once!


There you have it! Complete XP to Vista transformation!

Go do it now and live the vista experience before its on the shelves!!!

After reading some of your other posts I find this statement to be highly
suspect..

Glad to make you smile....

however whether I give you proof or not does not
change the reality of the things I state...

ok the 12 ways to make xp into vista post was a joke of course... but it is
an exaggeration of the truth...

The only reason I don't give facts is that I would need several hours to
make it correctly, because if I don't do a good job people will think of
things to deny what I say..

So that would mean either I sit down and spend a day on
explaining every detail.. or not do it at all....

And even if I do that, there are some hardcore MS followers in here that
cannot open their mind to any other opinion...

I have no real desire to convince everyone that I am right and create a
whole controversy... this needs too much energy..

so I prefer to make "light" statements... that are however true.... and make
some jokes seeing the funny side of it all.

Now do you understand? I can give facts, but I chose not to....

There was nothing true about your comments at all.

All you posted was FUD, and outright lies.

Vista isn't even based on the same Kernel XP is in the first place... If you
really did know Vista like you claim you do, you wouldn't be saying stuff
like that in the first place, because you would damn well right know it
wasn't true.

I'll second that.

MicroFox, you really need to spend more time preparing your posts including
doing some basic fact checks and research into the topic and providing more
explanations to your statements. Otherwise, your posts will still look all
like jokes. Or worse.
If you don't have enough time to do that, please don't post at all.

why ? I have no need to prove myself... Im just saying my opinion...
whoever agrees, its fine.. whoever doesn't that's fine too...
(of course that will not change the reality of things= vista sucks big time)

And I don't want to get into loooong threads of controversy about what vista
is...
I know what vista is... I have no reason to persuade everyone... as I said..
Im just saying my opinion.

This shows that I have total confidence in what I believe, and in myself...
I am sure that my views are educated and come from years of computer use,
and the teaching of computers to hundreds of people.

You may not like humor... but I have to tell you that humor is a mechanism
of revealing the truth through exaggeration so it can be more clear.

you are free to think whatever you want... and I am free to post my opinion
about vista.

That is the beauty of newsgroups...

Ahem,

That's like saying MacOS X is nothing more than BSD.

Windows XP evolved from Windows 2000.
Windows Vista evolved from Windows Server 2003.

Well, uh... how do I put it?.. You don't?? Why's that?

If you don't care, why do you post in the first place? If you DO care,
common sence says that if you're not known reputable expert or at least
celebrity, it helps to back up your statements with links to reputable
sources and/or thorough reasoning and recearch. Otherwise chances are your
efforts will be fruitless.

I like humor. I just don't see any humor in most of your posts in contrast
with "progressive realisation"'s posts. But that's just me.
you are free to think whatever you want... and I am free to post my
opinion about vista.

That is the beauty of newsgroups...

Sure. Feel free to ignore my advises too.

P.S. Oh, BTW, if it's just your opinions, don't forget to add AFAIK and IMO
notes to your posts. Otherwise your posts can mislead uninitiated to believe
it is something of common knowledge that does not need any proof.

Unfortunately you are getting stung by a troll that's not posting
from Vista. (alt/enter) Have a great day Bill.

Almost without exception whenever I have seen or heard someone make a
statement such as:
"I know more about vista than you...and probably everyone else on this
group"
It has been false.

Such statements are often made by those feeling the need for recognition but
unable to actually earn it.

Is this the same for Micro? Time will tell.
