    Ah c'mon... I bet he sent the proof of purchase back to microsoft for a refund before shredding those.
    Not sure what the POP is for Vista, but he didn't shred the whole thing.
    This video lacks commitment IMO... I wanna see him shred the receipt and proof of purchase.

    i know how he feels, i just spent an hour and a half installing vista, got a bluescreen, crash, reboot, and a rollback to XP. All this on a brand new machine in work that was only bought from the vendors a week or two ago :rolleyes:

    It seems that new hardware takes a seizure with vista. My computer however, loves it.....as do I.

    Vista:
    • Allows me to have more than two torrents at a time without completly freezing, unlike XP
    • Allows me to scan for viruses and defrag without completly freezing, unlike XP
    • Has a gorgeous user interface
    • Isn't as easy to share samba folders with my Xbox Media Centre, quite annoying actually
    • Installs my internal network automagically, unlike XP, i believe my last divers were fuxxord
    • Has a nice sidebar, which uses feck all memory and doesn't "leak" as ive heard!
    • Tells me little things like speed of transfer from folder to folder etc.
    • Has a new network stack, probably will turn out to be a bad thing though.

    The first two points there are probably related to a bad XP disc that i had. It was a student edition or something. POS!

    Oh yeah i got a 4.2 in the "rating" thing.

    Im delighred!

    I was in bangkok before Xmas and picked up a couple of copies of Vista for $2. The piracy over there is nuts, its easier to just pop into town than wait for torrents etc.....

    Careful now!! :D
    About one of my earlier points, it would seem misleading. My OS did crash in the early hours of this morning using utorrent. Bollix!
