Very interesting uses, but they have a long way to go before they can do that. We don't want the Red Ring of Death to become literal, now do we?

I like this idea alot.

@Frank: Well they wouldn't have to do much. Just add some genitals.

@psycoking: ...which is built on Windows Server 2003, which, in turn, is built on Windows 2000, which is built on NT 4.0 and so on and so forth.

@AnonUserAnonymous: If you NEED XP for compatability, then dual boot it.

@kenjara: On a high-end rig, there isn't a whole lot of difference. On a low-end machine and netbook, the difference is astronomical.

@Ethereal87: Eh, I only dislike the newer ones because it feels like a worse version of the earlier games.

I might just have to give it another chance. The XP System Restore definitely left a bad taste in my mouth, after it left me with a weird mishmash of old and new files. As a result, most of them became unusable and I had to reinstall anyway.

@sweenish: Yeah, it was. Although it was rather fond of restoring malware, if I remember correctly.

@BobTable4Four: I meant on the customer relations side of things.

Now if they could just treat their customers with a bit of respect...

It's trend I've been noticing for awhile now. PC games are getting bigger, in-your-face interfaces, while console games are getting smaller and smaller interfaces. Design choice or not, there is no excuse. It's a poor choice.

Oh Sims... What have they done to you? You went from being an amazing game series, to a lifeless husk, bled dry by excessive greed and left for dead.

People wouldn't be saying the iPad is a bad deal if it wasn't being promoted as a TABLET.
