And what legacy stuff would that be?

There is nothing that's in XP that's not in 2003, save perhaps the logon UI (And I don't even remember if that is there somewhere).

  • Visual Basic 5.0 runtime removed.
  • DirectPlay 1.0 removed.
  • DirectMusic removed.
  • Intel codecs removed from DirectX.
  • SOAP Toolkit removed.
  • Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) removed.

There's tons more - which is why so many old applications work fine in XP but do not function in Windows Server 2003. Here's a good read.

Anyway, jerry is right, this is way off-topic. I'm still happy to discuss with you, PM me if you want to reply to me. :)

While I'll admit i'm downloading it as we speak, I'm also (as many have already said) definately going to buy it when it is released so that i can play the multiplayer side of the game. I live in the UK and i've still got 2 weeks to wait for it, and with everyone else getting there hands on it it just cant wait - but as i said, I'm buying it. This is a game i respect and have waited on for a long time, ID have earnt my cash and will get it, as will half life 2 when thats released. I hope many others downloading the game will also purchase it.

Even though I preordered it and it's already paid in full I'm not going to DL. I like my computer to be 100% legit, no music I don't own the CD for, no warez. I either buy it or it's freeware. DOOM 3 is not free.

Now on to the reason I'm here. Where all the screenies? Maybe even some hi-rez videos?

I do not know why people cannot just wait three days. And then you wonder why computer game companies release crappy games because they know that even if they develop a great game that takes years to make, people like some of those on here will ruin it by downloading it for free. So why even bother trying to make a great game if they are not going to get rewarded for it?

Here in the UK and basically everywhere except US and Canada it won't be released until August 13th, some places later than that even. Not releasing at the same time globally only encourages piracy.

The thing is, people have waited like years for this game to be developed. What is a few days or a few weeks to wait for it to be sold in stores? See I hate to see companies like id or Valve not get their money when they deserve it. By not paying for the work it does not motivate them to make better games in the future because when thousand of people illegally download their games why even bother making future games. It just ruins it for us who actually pay for them.

    • I have really been nerding out on my desktop icons and feel compelled to share...

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I missed this when you first posted it, but those are awesome icons! I would normally prefer things to be uniform, but each of those icons seems to fit perfectly for the game! If I may ask though, what was your thought process on which icons are circular - MK makes sense - and which ones should be rectangular or square?
    • Microsoft Paint used to be my favorite Windows app as a kid, and it's still pretty good

      By WaltC · Posted

      What I like about Paint is using it almost exclusively for cropping and resizing images I get elsewhere--it's quick, easy and cheap... I keep it glued to my taskbar, in fact. Also, the clipping tool comes in handy, as well (hit print scrn on the keyboard and it activates immediately.)

      I still remember it fondly today. It was so cool to work in 64-color Half Bright mode and 4.096-color HAM mode (interlaced) when x86 was still in 4-color CGA or 16-color EGA low res. C= never realized what it had until it was far too late--the failure of C= was the failure of its top management. The C= Amiga was 20 years ahead of its time, I always thought. It didn't hurt that in only 512k of chip memory, the Amiga could preemptively multitask when Apple was still doing gray scale graphics on tiny screens and along with everyone else was doing cooperative multitasking (running more than one app at a time in resident memory, but you could only run one of them at a time--had to manually switch between them.) I had a ball with AREXX scripting running between programs that had AREXX ports so that when you sent other applications data and instructions, those running applications could process the same in real time to output! Memories...

      I'm not sure about that, but it at least "does" a version of 7.1 that this brand new card doesn't....
