Destructoid' s Opinion of Gamespot

Just check out their front page.



Absolutely brilliant. More people need to stand up to these folks when they' re conducting themselves inappropriately.

Haha, awesome. I guess Gamespot might sense an opportunity to make some extra cash there.

Eddie, you use Vista?

I recently acquired Vista... How' s it like with cracked programs? Does it arrest you?

Because I specifically want to use Adobe Photoshop and 3DS Max, and because
they wouldn' t allow me to get it with XP, I' m lumped with Vista.

Or does anybody else know??

There are two rules to success:

1. Never tell all you know.

if the software is vista compatible, every cracked xp software will work on vista cracked like a charm, it won' t stop you.

Listen to the wise

Oh, ok, so Vista has no security police men, that will track that you' re using
cracked software?

So I can just put them on and access the internet without fear?

I do believe Eddie is using xp black market or something which he has set to look like vista. no the pc won' t arrest you, but if you get any kind of mail about getting a free 360, don' t go if you like being out of jail.

I wouldn' t use Vista if you tied me to a piece of Amish furniture and sodomized me with the boot-disk.

I' m currently running Windows 2000 on one PC, and windows XP Black on the other (the one I usually post from). It looks hot, it' s got the gadget bar (which is more useful than I first gave it credit for), and it doesn' t double check with me every time I exhale without first asking permission.

Dude! If you' re worrying about cracked programs, why are you settling for Vista?! Downgrade for epic win!

Hmm, I may just install XP on the PC tbh. I asked them if I could have it with Xp,
they said up yours you arsehole, so I had to settle for Vista. I' m just wondering
in case I wanted to use Vista before my friend arrives in the country again with
a cracked XP, as I am itching to do some photoshop and 3D work on a quad-core
PC.

However if Vista will track me and arrest me then I' ll just wait for XP. But, if I can
put some cracked software on it AND still use the internet without keeping one
eye open, then I' ll do that.

So I need a definitive answer.

Aba, you say you can, do you use Vista and cracked software? Or did you hear
it through the grapevine?

Vista is fine. I really like it. It came with my XPS and after using it going back to XP on my laptop feels like a step down. The only bothersome things I' ve dealt with are the User Account warning thing. Make sure to turn that off right away. When you try to install something it asks you multiple times if you really want to do it which just gets annoying. The other thing is there is some driver / stability issue with NVidia graphics cards. It' s an off and on thing. Hardly ever happens but it' ll cause your display driver to crash in the middle of a game. Rare though so not much to worry about.

If you are getting 64-bit you may have a few extra problems to deal with (driver issues, apple products like iTunes and Quicktime don' t work properly, doesn' t recognize iPod Touch or iPhone, etc...) but you get to use more ram.

When it comes down to it Vista can do pretty much everything XP can do it' s just been given a spiffier UI and is a little easier to navigate. It has some bugs but thus far it' s been waaaaaaaaaaaaay more stable than XP was for me (I haven' t had a crash yet).

As for cracked programs, they work like a charm. No problems at all.

I asked them if I could have it with Xp,
they said up yours you arsehole,

Out of curiosity, who' s " them" and " they" ? Your employer, or the people you bought a PC from?

I' d definitely suggest making the jump backwards, however if you' ve got no other choice, cracked software works just fine on Vista. I' ve spent more hours than I care to recall coping with family members computers.

" Them" and " they" are in fact the people I purchased my PC from yes.

So Vista handles cracked programs, and I er won' t get in trouble? So what' s this
I have been hearing that Vista was built to crack down on this kind of thing???

That' s the Mac lovers that don' t know what they are talking about. Don' t blieve those people. I lived with two of them and their Mac G5s for over a year... they are crazy.

Thanks for the advice guys, I' m glad all this stuff about being behind bars can be
put behind us. YES!

We don' t say that' s stuff, we just don' t use vista. Though some Mac users have been affected by the whole " I am a Mac, I am PC" commercials, so you might have been living with two of those. Though we are a little craze

Edit: Oh yeah, about the topic, gamespot deserves the s^&t they are getting!
