So Microsoft released a public beta of Windows 7 a while ago, I used it and it was fucking awesome. Yet, I hear people complaining how it is shit just because “Vista is shit.” Correction faggot, if you actually bought a good computer Vista outperforms XP in most situations. DirectX 10 is superior to DX9, and it was actually made for current computer configs instead of XP which wasn’t made for what we have now.

Deep down, the ‘hate’ for Vista comes from Apple who keeps promoting how Vista has bugs and errors. I have no idea what fucking errors it has because I have never gotten one yet. Here is a tip, get good hardware and update your drivers. Suddenly all your issues will be gone. Faggot.

But if you are cheap faggot, I suppose Windows Vista sucks. But I got news for you cheapfucks out there. Windows 7 also runs good on shit hardware! Rejoice, your Pentium 4 with 1GB of RAM will no longer need to run XP, and you can finally enjoy a new operating system.

Walking around Futureshop today trying to hunt down a Black PSP Bundle (when I finally found it, it turned out the serial numbers on them were invalid. Fucking wankers.) I saw an ad on the PS3s that said “Let us install for only $99″ Wow, 99 dollars for plugging in 3 cables, creating a user ID, and other shit that only takes a second to do. WOW, if people are honestly going to spend 99 bucks on this I could start a company of my own where I do this.

So I got an invite on Facebook to join the event for “Christmas.” Naturally I do the same thing I do with every event, deny it. However after I do that I decide to read up on the wall there. You have some people saying “how can you NOT attend Christmas?” A good question to ask, because there is no real answer for it. But using the same philosophy I can say “how CAN you attend Christmas?”

What I also don’t understand is how people get pissed off when other say “Happy Holidays.” I find it ethically correct. Even if you are Christian, Christmas and Christmas Eve are two separate Holidays. After that you have the New Years. So by me saying “Happy Holidays” I save myself the trouble of saying “Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.” I will say continue to say “Happy Holidays” and if your Christ-worshiping ass gets mad, you can just fuck right off.

I usually get asked “which anti-virus do you recommend?” And to that I answer fuck it, just use AVG. The main reason for this is because it’s free, and it doesn’t take up too much resources. That said, I don’t use AVG, nor do I have any background scanning anti-virus. The reason for this is that I want my computer to run as smoothly as it can. I just run a virus check every so often but it usually ends up the same, zero viruses.

Now, there are two evil giants in this business that you have probably heard about, Norton and McAfee. Both of these are subscription based, meaning you have to buy a new one every year. So how is that fair? You buy Norton 2007 and then in 2008 you have to get a new one. 50 bucks a year for virus protection? Hell, that sure is a waste of money.

The second thing wrong with Norton is as I explained before. It tries to be a million different things. Fails at all of them, but in the same time still manages to slow your computer down at about 100%.

Anti-viruses are stupid all together since they usually don’t delete the threat and instead just put it in a locked, hidden folder somewhere in your C:/. They try and get around this by saying “its quarantined.” Well what good is that? That is like quarantining a person with SARS but not actually curing it.

Best Buy and Future Shop try to market these anti-virus solutions as “essentials” when you buy a computer from them. Oh sure, mention that a virus can break your computer but don’t mention how the anti-virus will slow you down. A quick Google search for “Norton Sucks” will get you more opinions from others.

What do I have to say about this whole thing? Don’t waste your money, get a free anti-virus instead.
