pc noobs dont seem to understand you can shut off those annoying things permanently.

the funniest are those who pretend they are uber smart by changing to an OS which is limiting (for software) like linux or even a mac computer.

i have 3 harddisks in my pc.

1 with stripped xp home, for everyday use, 1 stripped vista for some games only, and lastly backtrack 2 linux for cracking/hacking.

the fastest is the xp home and also the most diverse, no problems whatsoever. and before someone says "yeh but you payed 3 times more than me", i downloaded everything via torrent within hours, kthnx.

use a combination of a few, instead of being a fangirl for this or that company, fools.
