I am one of about 5 people on earth who actually likes Windows Vista.

I don't really care to explain why, but I think a lot of people bitch about it without having actually used it. No I don't play games on my Vista machines. But I swear, that there is more to do on a computer than game. No, I'm being serious, stop laughing at me.

Every once in a while between coding, emailing, and web browsing, I used to enjoy a quick round of 10x10 Minesweeper.

No, it isn't a fucking game. If you think minesweeper is a real game, then you probably think that curling is a real sport. Its a fucking time wasting little application that amuses me. I'm not a hypocrite.. well at least not a huge one.

I have gotten my time down to about 7 seconds on basic and for that short period of time it is fun. I then find myself doing something else almost immediately.

Still, what is to say that my 7 seconds of fun was meaningless? It made me happy. So I think it was important.

Which brings me to the point. Why the fucking hell did Vista have to come with a fruity tooty version of Minesweeper? I want my grey box clicking game damn it!

FUCK it is a game isn't it. Damn it. Well that isn't the point! Its been defaced with cute bubbly Appleness and I hate it!

I don't want sound!
I don't want animations!
I don't want anything other than 100 uncovered spaces to click.

Windows Vista is a piece of shit until service pack 3.

Oh man... you didn't hear did you?

I'm sorry buddy. SP3 is being skipped. Microsoft hates you so much that they have decided to push out SP1, SP2, and then leap to SP4.

Haven't seen Vista yet, as I only get new OSes when I buy new computers, but that sounds kinda weak.

Reserve your opinion of the OS until you have used it for about 2 months. Then when someone tells you to go back to XP you will begin to wonder where all the little features went. But you will still curse Minesweeper. For business use I really do like Vista. For gaming, I am thinking that as new hardware comes out drivers that rock will come with them. So maybe another 3 months or so before my XP machine is upgraded.

For now I'm ok since I just go and kick one of the people I support off their machines.

"Hey you need to shut down what you are doing and let me use your machine. I need to install updates so that your computer doesn't get infected with the 'winmine' virus."

But I fear for the future. As more Vista clients begin to appear less XP machines are available to commandeer.

Between the green text and obnoxious sig, your really peeving me.

Your sig has a robot looking to bite boobies with sharp teeth. Mine on the other hand provides you with some very important information.

...and what's wrong with green?

Well... except for that it is the first 5 letters of greeneyedzeke.

And then you can just DL the old one. I have a bunch of old 3.x, 95, and NT games on my XP machine such as Reversi, Ski Free, Jezzball, Chess, Rodent's Revenge, and Rattler Race.

Ski Free!!! oh man... I know what I am going to do today. I had all but forgotten about it.

There was one other game that was in that category for Windows 3.1, it was a slide puzzle with many shapes and you must move a red shape out of the puzzle. If you know what it was called I would be very happy.

There's no reason to fault a person just because one opinion of theirs is different from yours, let alone blaring it in an obnoxious sig.

Of course you are correct. However there are a few flaws with your statement.

First of all greeneyedzeke is not a person... at least not anymore.

Second I don't fault most people who prefer FFVI to FFIV. Much like Mr. T, I pitty them and would usually just leave them alone.

Third why are you judging my judgement? Isn't it easier to accept it?

P.S. Chill, greeneyedzeke and I are friends, and he taunts me the same way, just not here.

Well, I suppose it depends where I am posting. Some places I probably am just an online asshole.

When listing off the final fantasy games it is important to clarify just how much of a difference there is. A vertical comparison with spacing to show how far superior one title is to the next is required. The Best game is at the top of the list.

If I continue to use spaces I am pretty sure someone will complain about it, so just accept the fact that there are a lot more, some where in the count of infinite. The original would be below that and then the rest below it.
