matrix0978 Posted April 9, 2005 Posted April 9, 2005 No to young to work for microsoft. But including your router firewall and Windows XP Firewall not alot if going to get by. I mean right now i use a third part firewall because of pinging reason. When i host games, little children try to ping my computer to make the game server run slow. But if your not doing gaming where people want to ping you and your just using your computer for research and stocks, looking at MSFN, then whats the use of a third party firewall.
albator Posted April 9, 2005 Posted April 9, 2005 Quoting: But if your not doing gaming ----------------------------------------------Why the goal of using windows ? If it was not for my sins; gaming and filesharing I would use linux, cause I dont like microsoft...
matrix0978 Posted April 10, 2005 Posted April 10, 2005 Future reference, use the QUOTE tag next time.And, i know linux i great for gaming, but i also use it for other utilities and not just gaming. And so im leading back to my point of, If you just browsing the web, researching, doing stocks, then there is no use of a third party firewall.
figster983 Posted April 11, 2005 Posted April 11, 2005 heck, at this rate, microsoft will have an SP4 and SP5 within a few years! I just like exploring new programs so I'm all for it! I guess I'm just a curious gulible genious. didn't u notice it says Gulible on ur ceiling? you know, some of you will definitly criticize this comment, but what the heck, I DON"T CARE! THIS IS THE INTERNET ANYTHING GOES! FINE, almost anyt...
matrix0978 Posted April 11, 2005 Posted April 11, 2005 A little hyper or drunk are we figster. Seem to have alot of energy lol. But yes i do agrred they will have SP4/5 in a few year which will be great. But by then they will come out with some insane OS (im hoping). With everything customers every wanted lol. *dreaming if only if only*Or if they made a insane Windows OS jump like from windows 98 to XP. But wont happen anytime soon unfortunatly.

You CAN run games on Linux, and you CAN run filesharing on linux... not that i'm preaching or converting here peoples
Martin Zugec Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 2undeadsoldier: Well, games on linux arent the same quality and quantity as for windows... About filesharing - Samba for quite stupid technology till v3, now it is ideal filesharing server for winbased networks! BTW I am MS fan (working for them sometimes), my brother is big linux fan (working for Novell all the time), so we are comparing linux/win products every week

Martin Zugec Posted April 19, 2005 Posted April 19, 2005 Well, me and my brother keep suprising each other almost every day For example he didnt know about XP Embedded or Monad, I didnt know about Geexbox
totoymola Posted April 20, 2005 Posted April 20, 2005 I thought they will release SP2a first.. Well, let's see. No one is really sure about this as of now.
Martin Zugec Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 Dont think so... Microsoft takes SPs as permanency packages... SP1a was released only because they needed to remove MS JVM (court decision)
kurt476 Posted April 21, 2005 Author Posted April 21, 2005 i'm on linux. i use mandrake 10.1 for filesharing instead of windows. but i'm going to not put windows xp online i'm ging to have it offline for video editing
