Frank Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 Not only that, but their are a lot of company's still running on Windows NT 4.0 and are just starting to upgrade to Windows 2000. Most company's (if they have a half way decent IT department) don't go out and buy the new versions of Windows to upgrade. They may have to buy the newer license, but Microsoft doesn't care if you are running Windows NT4 with a Windows XP license. You paid for their license, that?s all they care about. So PF Prophet, companies WOULDNT CARE if another OS came out. It would just be another step on the ladder a few years down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glowstick Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 grow the f up and stop bitching about people using server as a workstation its there choice they can do what they like Well, just gimme your home address then, just to see if you can really do what you like.

Glowstick Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 The rumors you're hearing about "Pro 2003" are referring to Windows XP versions for 64-bit workstations. Never, though, did it use 2003-based code; which is why MS quickly removed all references from their site. Dude--don't say stuff that isn't true, man. The AMD64 versions of Windows XP do use the 2003 codebase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxelStone Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 lets take money out of the picture. i have both xp and 2k3. i want to use one or the other, i game often. other wise im doing office, or internet stuff. i do other stuff but not that often. which os should i keep. i think 2k3 is faster and more stable from what ive seen so far. I'm using his quote as a basic example... WHY is it more stable, WHY is it better. Also, if you dont know how to use the software why are you using it. To learn? Then why are you trying to game on a server platform. I'm not picking on this poor guy, but 90% of the tards are going to pirate this, and not even know how to use it. Thats how DDOS bots are so prolific, they spread through stupid people doing stupid things and opening programs such as the greatest software of all time, "server.exe". Alotv smart people here, I'm bored so I'm shuttling around alotv Forums today. Not to **** anyone off but thats what I see. Also, how many are just screwing up the parents machines and dont have one they bought for themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winston Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 people use 2k3 for menny reasions mainly becouse its new funny thing i havent seen any missing dll's in 2k3 and only 1 game i have wouldnt run (bf1942) but thats a game issue it has done the same thing on 2k so cant say its a server thing there was to have been a pro version of 2k3 but it was cut out thanks to companys complaning about having to upgrade there workstation os agin (some companys dont get that u can stick with 2k pro and be just fine till 2007) xp is bloated becouse its got **** i never use as well as alot of lagacy code and no even with every single service dissabled its not as fast as 2k3 with all the services enabled(the ones u dissabled in xp) i think the extra dev time is what xp really needed so do the dev's thats why the next service pack is gonna be replacing alot of the os(least thats what im hearing) i know doug and some others will say use xp dont pirat 2k3 funny u say that to sombody that u think is a pirat why would they NOT pirat xp if they are pirating 2k3 ????? for that matter i would bet they probbly pirated 2k and even 9x grow the f up and stop bitching about people using server as a workstation its there choice they can do what they like if you see the word game in the title of the thred then dont even read it if you dont think it should be used for gaming let your silance be your statment insted of just being a troll trying to start fights as often as possable or are you a child who just needs to feel big and important by telling everybody to only use it as a server??? You have no jack all idea what your saying, yes Win2k3 might be a slight faster or stable in respect to XP, but that's because of the additional revamping and tweaking of the kernel, which was required because the OS had to be more stable than normal, XP is by far faster than 2k3 providing you know what your doing and what to turn off, don't let your ignorant shine through just because you have problems tweaking XP to be faster. This is in reference to your pro version of 2k3, huh? does that make any sense and could you please rephrase this sentence i have absolutely no idea what in God's name your saying. i know doug and some others will say use xp dont pirat 2k3 funny u say that to sombody that u think is a pirat why would they NOT pirat xp if they are pirating 2k3 ?????for that matter i would bet they probbly pirated 2k and even 9x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PF Prophet Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 doug they also plan to at least at this time update the kernal of xp in the next sp one of the reasions they put it off from the orignal time line winston yes 2k3 is faster. u even admit it has to be more stable. and i have tweaked xp have also seen tweaked xp that people say is faster then 2k3 funny part is if you "tweak" 2k3 you get even more speed then the defult config try installing 2k3 then dissabling server services with web addition u can do this with the optomizer u can also do it by converting any version to web add then using the optomizer i have tweaked 2k/xp/2k3 for best perf and by far xp is the slowest yes it loads faster then 2k but it also has to load vxd's when you load programs unline 2k that loads most of them on boot with a tweak i have i can make 2k load into desktop just as quick as xp or 2k3 but then its still loading the vxd's and everything else b4 you can acctuly do anything (see windows xp) the last quote is funny becouse you know what it means you just choose to play stupid i will clear it up for u the same people that pirate 2k3 are pirating xp,2k,nt,9x you arent gonna stop that no matter how u bitch and moan about it and yes my spelling is ****ty so what u get my point even if you choose to act like you dont understand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~phoenix~ Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 Ok this for the admins of the Neowin. Make a simple rule like this one. "People can talk for everything related to software and how to use it EXEPT. How to use w2k3 like a workstation,like a game server etc...etc..." Also u have to remove the official Neowin guide for that matter. Otherwise admins and mods must stop this situation.Since there is NO RULE for that ...people can ask anything they want.People who doesn want to participate to such relative discussions are free not to do. And i think people who say... "Ohh u are a pirate." They are just hypocrites... Because I m pretty sure that their hard disks or their cd-dvd library has a plenty of illegal material,like c*acks,movies,mp3s,oses... Or they are enough rich to play the role of the angel. Or they just want to keep in the dark the poor people of this world and selling after the image of the expert. Or just want to shell their services to the mama company to be a beta tester again in the next release. Or they just have nothing to do exept coming here and flaming. Whatever is the reason its not your fault. I said again Neowin are responsible for that situation.they just simple have to clear out this before we have the third war here.

PF Prophet Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 yeah thats what i said b4 but theres an easy fix give people a place where its safe to talk about 2k3 as a workstation making it illegal to attack or degrade people for doing such then make it illegal to talk about 2k3 as a workstation in the server forums:) eather that or follow ur owen rules and start warrning people for these posts that help not at all just degrade people and put them down for wanting to do something neowin has a guide about how to do or just remove the guide and make it illegal to talk about workstation 2k3 in neowin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~phoenix~ Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 I think All the members comes to Neowin for technical discussions.Its no meant for Warez or such things.The all thing comes to this. Is this a illegal question (how to to work it as a workstartion etc...)some people do here? Hmm.from the moment that this privately hosted forum has no rule about that, the answer is obvious No.If the board make one such rule everybody must obay it, like it or not. Since there is no such rule its not illegal.Is it clear enough or i m so stupid that i cant see the trueth?When i said "Ohh probably u have something illegal in your house"nobody answer,nobody get insulted. I was waiting someone to say? "oh why u accuse people without prooves?" The same goes to all of u when u said "Oh u have a illegal copy of w2k3 " Personaly i dont use this OS for workstation BUT this is a completely different thing.Some people still use the 9x kernel OSes.Which are in the 90 % percent illegal copies.Warez copies.Do we have to ask every single people who make a question if he-she has a legal copy of it and to give a proove first for that?Can u imagine if we do that thing?Hmm makes me wonder if some people wants this kind of road of the society.Or maybe this board wants to be like this?Fot To be enter to such community u must give first your credentials or something like this.But for the momment its not that case.Neowin is a privately hosted forum with some rules.We all agree to those when we sign up we accept these rules,otherwise we wouldnt be in this trip together.All what we want some people when we scream"Let the people to make all the kind of questions exept warez"is about respect.Can u get it.Respect.If u dont know what this word means then u dont want to participate to the community u are not a member of this community or u have to find the really meaning of that word and come back here again more Humble.we have to learn our lessons and to appreciate when someone give us a second chance even we dont deserve it.I think someone here knows very well what i m talking about.

If you're going to say that XP is bloated and it has tons of **** you never use then try looking in Administrative Tools and tell me how many of the server applications (which aren't in "bloated xp") you use while running games on your "2003 Workstation". 2003 has almost everything in it that Windows XP does and a whole ****load more. The only reason you're saying it's not as bloated is because it comes with unecessary services and components disabled or uninstalled half of which you're having to re-enable or install to play your games. Everyone has the right to run 2003 as a workstation, but if you do then you had better know what you're doing or have the desire to do a little research and figure things out for yourself instead of running to the forums with every little question you have. Spend as much time cleaning up your xp installation as you do un-optimizing your server installation and you'll be in good shape. Or just stick with 2003 as a workstation, don't complain\ask why it doesn't work everytime you have trouble running game xyz, and read the dictionary an hour every night. Do those 3 things and neowin will definitely be a happier place! :rolleyes: Just wanted to throw in that it's pretty shady that you rent your parents a computer. You live in their house, they gave birth to you and fed and clothed you for free for many years and kept you safe. Now you charge them rent on a computer?
