| I awoke early one morning to talk to my friend who had been installing W7 before I went to bed. I was tired, half-awake, and then this happens:
[02:40] Lt. Cmdr. Scott: Wee!
[02:40] Lt. Cmdr. Scott: I had a good nap
[02:40] Thug: Got windows 7 running.. not much of a diff
[02:41] Lt. Cmdr. Scott: The Hell you talkin' 'bout, Willis?
[02:41] Lt. Cmdr. Scott: It's like night and day.
[02:41] Thug: ok..
[02:41] Lt. Cmdr. Scott: It has half the overhead, its' like 800 times as stable, it's fully backwards compatible with old games. DirectX11 is AMAZING and so is DirectX10 in Windows 7.
[02:41] Lt. Cmdr. Scott: I don't even know where to begin listing the improvements.
[02:42] Lt. Cmdr. Scott: It has a brand new file system that isn't compatible with any other version of windows, that's the best file system I've even seen, it reminds me of a journaling file system from Linux, but better.
[02:42] Lt. Cmdr. Scott: It comes with LBDFS which supports drives larger than 1 Terabyte in addition to the regular awesome file system
[02:42] Lt. Cmdr. Scott: it has a graphical defragmenter that actualyl shows the program
[02:43] Lt. Cmdr. Scott: you can defragment or analyze any number of partitions are once.
[02:43] Lt. Cmdr. Scott: AND SEE WHERE THEY ARE, FUCK YOU VERY MUCH, VISTA.
[02:43] Lt. Cmdr. Scott: The in-built firewall and defender are both more powerful and more versatile
[02:43] Lt. Cmdr. Scott: Homegroups is much more powerful filesharing for the average user than Workgroup sand infinitely more secure.
[02:44] Lt. Cmdr. Scott: Wi-Fi connections are completely redone, connecting to a network is both more secure and more stable, not to mention way fucking easier and more powerful!
[02:45] Lt. Cmdr. Scott: It looks better, it has a better taskbar, a better system tray...
[02:45] Lt. Cmdr. Scott: I mean I don't even know there are like 800 more things I can say.
[02:45] Lt. Cmdr. Scott: I find it offensive you would even compare W7 to Vista.
[02:45] Lt. Cmdr. Scott: That's like comparing it to Windows 95 or MacOSX
[02:45] Lt. Cmdr. Scott: NOT THE SAME AT ALL AND LIKE 1000 TIMES BETTER!
[02:47] Lt. Cmdr. Scott: Oh it has an entire virtual machine for Windows XP and earlier so you don't need to run older software in compatibility mode, you can run it in it's own fucking install of that version of windows. I know a friend that runs his entire companie's SMP server from old Windows 98 software in a VIrtualized XP machine and it hasn't crashed in a year.
[02:49] Lt. Cmdr. Scott: It's better, faster, stronger, more stable, and it's a total power-users OS, it lets you do everything you ever wanted to! You just gotta look under the hood. It's like comparing two Lamborghinis that have the same body, but under the hood one's got a V-8 and one's got a V-12, cup holders, better windshield wipers, more seating, seat-warmers, luxurious leather seats, and you can change or modify any part of it. And the V-8 is just a V-8, there's nothing really special about it and it won't let you modify, tweak, or expand upon it, it is all that it will ever be! But the V-12 you can soup up to be a V-14 or V-16!
[02:50] Lt. Cmdr. Scott: So I never want to hear from you "Oh, W7 isn't that different." because it's sacrilege and I will hit you. HIT YOU.
