windows 7 is more bloated than a dead puffer fish

My old system had a TL 52 with 1 gig 667 mhz ram and a 5400 rpm hard drive windows XP it took 40 seconds to boot up. My new system has a L335 which is slightly faster that the TL 52 http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_lookup.php?cpu=AMD+Athlon+Neo+X2+Dual+Core+L335 has 3 gigs 800 mhz ram and a 7200 rpm hard drive windows 7 it takes 40 seconds to boot up. Strangely enough the japanese who like to eat puffer fish also called fugu have not been consuming much windows 7 they prefer red flag linux. Fugu is deadly if the poison gland is not carefully removed.

 

using more resources != more bloated. it has tons of new features that winxp lacks, and thus, sucks.

 

Since the pufferfish swallows water to inflate, and then expels that water when they relax, wouldn't a dead pufferfish be less bloated than a live but threatened pufferfish?

 

Ding ding ding.. We have a winner.

 

Clueless.

also, the l335 is a tl52 that uses less power, it's not faster.

 

Windows 7:
More features FTW! More stylish FTW!
More stable and secure FTW! Light Resources FTW!

Windows Vista:
More features FTW! More stylish FTW! More stable and secure FTW! Heavy Resources FTL!

Windows XP:
Less features FTL! Less stylish FTL! Unsecure FTL! Super Light Resources FTL as well because it is every also LESS.

Glossary:
FTL = For The Lose
FTW = For The Win

 

Still with the XP kids...

/thread please.

 

Its ALL about the boot time

 

i dont get it. buy a better pc or a mac.

 

don't feed the troll.......

 

He's so hilarious and cool. This guy must have a lot of friends.

Sarcasm off. You, sir, are pure win. Those were my thoughts exactly =P

 

Windows 7 can be a great OS!

More stylish = Cool!

Stylish causes slowness = Not cool.

The joy of having a much faster system is knowing you can install the OS in much less time than your previous machine and boot to it in half the time frame.

 

lol that was the first thing i thought when i read the title of this thread

 

Cool story?
Good pufferfish call by the way KimoT.

This lagged post brought to you by Windows XP. Pure Ownage and post count!

 

Wait. You are still using shut down? I thought the hibernation supremacy was established with Vista.

 

Maybe while the pufferfish internal organs decay, they release gas that bloat the pufferfish?

Sarcasm on
Yea my laptop runs blazing fast on MS-DOS therefore Windows Xp sucks compared to it.

 

one of the thigns i don't like about win7. consumer-based choises: shutdown is now default again because people did not "understood" hibernate. they cried about not being able to shutdown, not ready to learn that it might be better. so it's now default to shutdown again..

an understandable choise, but i liked how vista made choises that are simply better, even while people cry about it (sometimes they have to learn new habbits )

 

lol yeah i havent shut down for like 2 weeks (it would be longer except for those updates )

 

So what you're saying is that Windows 7 is deadly unless they reduce system resource usage? Haha, good one.

/sarcasm.

 

I realize that you're not happy with the fact that Shutdown is the default button instead of Hibernate. However, you can change it:

 

sure i can. i knew i could even in xp, maybe even 2000 (unsure, good old times.. )

i don't like how they made it back to shutdown as default now again. just because people never learn. like uac, like the black-on-maximized window, etc etc etc.. tons of ideas that make much sense, but people just don't get them, or don't want to. so they reverted back the innovations of vista to be more xp like, dropping the actually enhanced user experiences that would have existed thanks to them.

 

Seriously?
UAC? You liked the Vista one? No I completely disagree with you there... Sure in theory the idea is great, but not everyone out there is completely stupid that they require a warning for every little action that goes on.
I've formatted a few computers for friends who use Vista, and just deleted a freaking shortcut in the start menu required me to confirm three times... useless and ridiculous.

And I also don't agree with your love for hibernate, though I understand why some people use it. My main laptop I just use on my desk and leave it on most time. I will shut it down once and awhile and really don't see a need to use hibernate...

 

uac had no warning for every little thing. only when you started an exe in a mode that it can change the system in some destructive way. which, during daily usage, shouldn't happen EVER anyways, else you use it somehow wrong.

the deletion of the shortcut had a reason: it was a shortcut for all users. imagine more than one user on the pc, one being your friend, and one his sister. now you delete the shortcut of word in all users, and the sister logs in and can't start word anymore as it's not there anymore.

there's a reason people shouldn't mess with all user-files as if they're their own ones.. (seen enough such mess during my support work).

well, you don't use your laptop as a portable computer, then. else you would love hibernation. ever used it for days only on battery, without ever caring to plug it into power somewhere? that's what i do for weeks. hibernate is best for that (a.k.a. portable usage). it's like sleep, but without power. and sleep or hibernation is much better than shutting down and starting again, while you're in some task. it just stays where it is, and you can continue later.

and you show the exact reason why they "backfixed" such stuff in win7: because users dont care to learn why stuff is the way it is, and why it is actually good that way.

 

I had no idea there were so many ichthologists among you http://travel.webshots.com/photo/2556268440091189067SVmgPT

 

Ahha I was right!
The Gas bloats the pufferfish...LOL

 

Fair enough...but is it more or less bloated than a live but threatened puffer fish?

 

Word. Or keep using XP until it's not supported anymore. I don't really care one way or the other. XP is nearly a decade old. I got sick of looking at it 5 years ago. hehe.

Already XP is not supported anymore. All you have now is security support (patch for the uncountable security holes of XP) until 2012.
