Windows XP V windows 7

XP is the best shit M$ have came out with. It had radical color and anybody who disliked that obviously don't have an eye for design. 7 - a horrible fucking UI, First why is folder options under the view/arrange icons by menu, Second why is control panel such a mess of text links and shit, and why cant we simply open the network connections folder and view the icons for each connection.

XP pros:

  • It's both simple looking and advanced functionality wise, it looks like a teletubby but its really darth vader
  • Has 'legacy' technologies that can be useful in today's world
  • Allows a domain or workgroup to be typed not just selected from a list like windows 7
  • Layout and design is almost perfect.
  • Has lots of functionality
  • Luna and bliss.jpg
  • No longer is targeted much by hackers or viruses (despite all the stupid end of support hype)
  • B0 Is surprisingly compatible with programs and features such as networking services (see B1
  • B1 Some built in programs from windows server 2003 work on XP (M$ don't want you to know that)
  • Doesn't bug you to authenticate a fucking password for like EVERYTHING
  • Is super customizable
  • A0 it can host a FTP web and email server using IIS.
  • A1 it can technically be a Terminal Server (see A2)
  • A2 it can host roaming profile
  • Easy to navigate in
  • Supports USB 2.0, sata 2, fire-wire, dvd, .zip, virtual storage device images (not ISO tho), it can run MS ramdisk utility.
  • Not that slow actually but programs can stop responding in fairness.
  • Easily hackable - more functionality/customization but less security
  • Has a kick ass CLI tool-set (gpedit, regedit, ieshwiz, sysdm, control, rundll32, TSS, edit, DEBUG, runas, at/schtasks

windows 7 pros

  • Is more Secure from viruses and hacking
  • less buggy
  • supports .ISO images
  • less bloated
  • it isn't like vista except the theme+design is just as bad
  • it has some useful customize options I wish XP had such as the ability to show/hide 'my videos' from the start menu.
  • it has the tablet PC support pack already built in

windows XP cons

  • buggy
  • programs can crash at times or stop responding till doomsday
  • can be extremely goofy
  • uninstalling IE in the components manager completely screws the whole OS up. Nice job btw there M$ you fat greasy shits.
  • bloated with legacy icons and dialog boxes, hotfixes, patches, service packs, and unimplemented features.
  • lack of 16 or 64 bit driver or program support.
  • HKLM\software\microsoft\windows\

7 cons

  • pestering - user authentication for running some command line, deleting some types of files etc etc etc.
  • cant find a fuckin thing, where is the fucking explorer menu bar
  • looks ugly
  • isnt as hackable or modifiable as XP
  • still cant find a thing.
  • ran by ballmer baldy head
  • its harder to crack the stupid buggy product registration
