Wow, like Spaz, I've also been on the Internet for longer than 10 years (this is my 11th in fact), I never thought we'd have people as young as 10 on here. Your parents are either incredibly lenient with you, or careless. You don't seem like the sort of person who should be playing GTA games. But seriously, if you're only 10, and to be honest I think you're older but not by much, but what the hell are you doing on sites like 4chan? Who the hell linked you to that?

Never trust Norton, it's one of the worst Anti Virus programs you can get. SV: Installation took an hour? Fuck that's a long time. I thought you had pretty good specs too. Only took me half an hour or so, which for an OS is pretty decent. My opinions and observations so far: IE8 Well, it's far superior to IE7. Feature like private browsing are now added. And best of all, STANDARDS COMPLIANCE! YES! Finally, sites actually display correctly in IE, no stupid CSS hacks needed to make sites work! Still won't make me switch from Firefox though. I use too many addons etc. and Firefox 3.1 will have private browsing so there's literally no reason to change to IE8. Drivers Yeah it's awesome that it can use Vista drivers. The only thing I actually needed to install drivers for was my USB wireless adapter, everything else worked straight out of the box, even my graphics card. ATi do actually have Windows 7 drivers already out which is great, installed those fine so I may try some games tomorrow on it, see how they play. New taskbar It's growing on me. Didn't think it was much of an improvement at first but now I've used it it's actually quite nice. Say you've got multiple tabs open in your browser, you click the icon in the taskbar to go to it and get preview windows of all your open tabs, hovering over one will preview it fullscreen. Nice touch. And if you're downloading files. The icon has a progress bar in the background so you can judge how much it's done even if not even using the browser. Another nice touch. It also looks a lot less cluttered so that's an good improvement. I don't give a shit if people think they're coping OS X or whatever, because who fucking cares, it's an improvement IMO, so good on MS for doing it. Program compatibility Haven't tried all that much yet, but I've had no errors doing anything so far. Installed DivX 7 codecs so I can play movies and stuff. Installed VLC so I can watch it all. Just about to get some IM's so I can talk to peeps online. Anything anyone wants me to test who hasn't/can't install the beta?

On Add/Remove Programs if there's an entry for it, uninstall it and try again. I had to do this recently and it was fine.

This is actually in 3.1 which isn't out yet, unless you're running the betas, but yeah, it's cool.

Lol that was great. Whoever made it. BTW, anything else think it looks insanely weird when it's not widescreen?

Directions for obtaining a key: http://www.neowin.net/news/main/09/01/10/p...dows-7-beta-key

The BBFC have given Chinatown Wars an 18 rating, making it the first game on the Nintendo DS to receive such a rating. The game's content is said to include "very strong language and drug references" as well as that it contains "168 minutes worth of in-game cut scenes". No cuts were needed to obtain a UK release.

Microsoft have taken down the download links due to high demand. However, the files are still on their servers so you can still download them if you want to try out the beta: 32 Bit: http://download.microsoft.com/download/6/3...LFRE_EN_DVD.iso 64 Bit: http://download.microsoft.com/download/6/3...XFRE_EN_DVD.ISO

LOL. I lol'd at all of those ones, well when they were originally made of course, but yeah, funny shit last year

True. It is quite lulzy when supposed oldfags come here. Moved this to FaOT so it doesn't really matter what you post just don't break the rules etc.

I use Windows and OS X and Linux all for different purposes because I'm awesome. Web Development is far easier on Macs. Gaming is far better on Windows. Servers are far better running on Linux. etc. There is no best OS, only the one which is best suited for your needs. I downloaded the beta ages ago but never got round to installing. Since it's public now anyway I might get it and see what it's like. I suppose I could test IV on it too.

This is something that will definitely be added. Thanks for the suggestion.

Yeah, might as well just leave then. I mean, who the hell keeps coming back to an inactive forum. You have to be pretty retarded to do that, don't you? There's only one topic on this page with less than 2 replies. And it's a bit shit. So yes, usually if there's few replies it means the topic is shit and nobody cares. lol etc.

Yeah that's it. And yes it's Mariah Carey, I had a feeling it was but couldn't remember if it was her in that position.

Anybody? They're all celebrities so someone's going to know. I haven't had the ad appear today so I can't say but if it shows again I'll actually have a look at it.

It's been varying quite a bit lately for some reason. I would imagine it'll be a little less active in the day time now since many members are now back to school/work so that would explain it. Traffic to the site as a whole has gone up quite a lot though so we'll probably make an effort to promote the forums more soon.

YES I WILL HAVE SEX WITH YOU!
