just ordered a new pc

My problem was that I had to download patches at shit.

It was on my laptop. Came with Vista on it, but as soon as I got shit hooked up, I was repeatedly prompted for patches. I'd downloaded a few, but got tired of having to change shit around all the time, so I stopped, and Vista repeatedly crashed.

So I installed XP, and no worries.

I'd rather have an OS that I don't have to touch from the start and can just run with, rather than having to do shit to it.



I had the Longhorn beta ages ago, though, which was actually pretty decent.

just turn off the updates and never look back

that's what you're doing with xp, the patches are still there, you don't *need* to install them on vista either

but that's a silly reason to switch to xp

I believe I said I stopped patching, and it began to crash.


It's not silly anyway. I'm not doing any extra work on XP for it to run the way I want. I was with Vista. End of story.
