I find this quite funny, that could end up being almost every app and game on someones computer...

**Cody** · 08-18-2004

Hmmm seeing this makes me not want to download service pack 2 especialy since alot of the games that dont work i own, they will probably have patches for the games to work with it though so we will have to wait and see so good job microsoft cause one screw up after another

well actually, i did sort of notice a large portion of my apps on that list lol

as for the games it will just affect them on online play, ie it will stop them working online. and warcraft 3 is so damn popular online as well

**Cody** · 08-18-2004

For games though they can just realease patches through web sites or through the game if possible its just my apps that i am worried about

They screwed up their service packs. Those twits. 3/4 computers show a blue screen on startup after installing a service pack. *dolts*

**Cody** · 08-21-2004

I have never had a problem with the service packs and since i got norton go back which is probably the best tool you could have for windows i dont have many crashing problems my main problems are glitches which i am to lazy to fix

Bah, don't ya'll get it?! 'NEW COMPUTERS' *I.E Impaired Computer People* Do 'not' know how to turn off those things...

my little cousin has his own computer and he doesn't shut down -_-*** he just pulls out the electricity

so it's good windows is dying...

It's time for the Sony Revolution...

Sony PS3
Sony Flat Screen
Sony Cell Project
Sony OS Computer
Sony Beats Microsoft
Sony Is The Leader Of Entertainment

that's alot of goals Sony has, as a 'whole' company...lol except for the OS Computer, just gotta wait...

**gaming ultima** · 08-21-2004

Let me make that list more realistic for you

Sony stays console leader (forever)
Sony Leads TV market
Sony Cell Project being big success
Sony OS Computer which is big success
Sony Beats Microsoft at everything
Sony becomes biggest player in the Film industry
Sony becomes biggest player in the music industry
Sony becomes worldwide leader in broadband internet
Sony becomes leader in all electronic devices (both for the public and for gov's and military’s
Sony Is The Leader Of all Entertainment
there, now what do you think of that for a bunch of goals (yea some of them are a long long way off but still)

**Blake** · 08-21-2004

In a perfect fairytale world I could picture all of the above happening.

**watashi** · 08-22-2004

In the future of this world Sony will then become President, LOL

Anyway only a few of those could be accomplished, mostly the console and entertainment, but Sony OS won't be working...I doubt it possibly...

Yea I mean M$ don't have thousands of staff working on their next operating system all the time, whilst being industry veterans with at least 30 years of experience in the industry or anything.

The only people who can rival M$ are Apple and Apple have already made a more user friendly operating system than Microsoft have - it's just a shame it doesn’t have any where near the amount of third party software support that windows has (e.g. far less software compatibility).

I will tell you what is a shame, its a shame that M$ have a monopoly on the market as each windows has been the worst current OS on the market at that time. the Windows code is a complete mess which has caused a lot of problems which is why they are sinking such extraordinary amounts of money into longhorn
I believe any company that sinks enough money into a OS project could come up with a far better OS then any windows, it wont be successful but it will be better
