those were preview versions ... and the actual problem was cooling-related because the company supplying the coolers somehow ****ed up their product.

do you really think the world's biggest software developer would release an unstable CONSOLE? people, have some common sense. comparing a console OS to a PC OS is like comparing a brick to a whole skyscraper.

Configure: "Win XP is stable as hell", what do you do install it on a partition on ur HD and leave it and use 2K or someat. So far win xp has corrupted the system32 file, crashed HL (but prob seems to have gone now) and yesterday my entire system froze, left it for 30 mins come back and was still frozen. Thanks MS you set me back 1 hours worth of important University work there; and crashed and froze on other numerous occasions. Yes all important progs like firewall and stuff are for XP and all drivers are either XP defaults or XP drivers released from the Manufacturers. XP is not stable as hell at all.

Oh yeah and one more thing Gran Turismo 3's graphics are crap on PS2. All PS2 is, is a redesigned PS one with more processing and polygon pushing power to make ppl buy them. Im sorry but GP3 on PC looks better than that. Also where are the so called good graphics that appear on the adverts for it. You know where there are cars racing and one spins round drives back and looks at the sunset. I dont remember those brilliant graphics while playing on me mates PS2. LOL, im sorry but PS2 is poor

I would tell him its a big pile of s**t but dont have heart. But i have said that a PC would smash the PS2 into the ground on the type of graphics it offers (oh how i wiped the smile off his face LOL)

Oh and one more thing i hate Gates he stole the one game that could take away Half Lifes dominance as the turning point in FPS's. That game, the one, the only, Halo. It will undoubtedly come to the PC but when? That question can only be answered by MS. Plus it would look better on the PC than Xbox, especially when it finally gets to us lowly PC owners, under the thumb of corporate giants who make deicisions based on maximum profit and what would make their product look better

My rant over. peace out

Adam, I think your dealer is lacing your crack with Tide. Might wanna speak to him about that. . .

Xp >IS< stable. You probably upgraded from a previous OS, didn't you? An installation that is probably at least a year or two old. Doesn't matter what OS you use, "upgrading" from an older version is just an all-round bad idea.

Didn't upgrade? How old is your computer? Is it some piece of Gateway $hit your daddy bought you for your 16th birthday? If so, your problem is right there.

Fact is, that if your system has the drivers it needs, and the resources to run it, XP is THE operating system to use. I've had my computer running for seven days before I rebooted to install NAV2002. I've spoken with others who claim to have had their system running for upwards of a month or more (although for all we know the box may have been idle for the entire time, which would increase the believeablity a hell of a lot). Personally I actually used my box before this screenshot. Banking, gaming (MPBT 3025, Max Payne, AvP and CS multiplayer, etc), watching movies, downloading apps, serving **** to friends, and so forth.

You have problems with your system, yes. But are they caused by XP itself? No.

Ps2 is 45 % slower than Xbox, Gamecube is just 15 % faster than Ps2, ps2 may rule this winter but it will die in 2002, gamecube will die cuz its not good enuff.. xbox rules and for ppl who say xbox is crashing, all they want to do is say that it sucks that its crashing...demo`s crash for crying out loud and my ps1 and ps2 crash as well from time to time so dont let ur anti MS rhetoric make stupid forum topics like this

So let's see.....

Spend about $400 on a X-box, get two games and a controller.....

hmmmm...

Shouldn't I have an option as a consumer to purchase just the console and a controller only? Why should I spend extra money on two games and a controller? I know it's a new system, but atleast give me an opportunity to choose............rent....borrow

TY MICROSOFT

    • Gemini in Google Sheets can now help you debug and fix formula errors

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Gemini in Google Sheets can now help you debug and fix formula errors by David Uzondu Google has started rolling out an update to Gemini in Google Sheets that allows the AI to diagnose and fix formula errors in one click, as long as your Workspace admin has Gemini for Workspace in Sheets turned on. According to Google, the new feature can handle pretty much everything from basic arithmetic to very complex calculations. This ability to debug formula errors comes about two years after Google introduced basic formula generation with Gemini in Sheets. To create a formula with Gemini in Sheets, you open a spreadsheet on your computer and click Ask Gemini in the top right corner. You can also enter an equals sign in any cell and use a shortcut like Ctrl + Alt + G on Windows and Chrome OS, or Command + Ctrl + G on macOS. Once you open the side panel, you write a natural language prompt using your sheet references. For example, you can ask Gemini to divide goals by games, or to find cell C1 in range D:G. If for some reason, the formula Gemini generated doesn't work, or maybe you wrote the formula yourself, you can troubleshoot the issue directly inside the grid. When a cell shows an error message, you hover over it and click "Fix". This action opens the side panel where Gemini analyzes the data structure and automatically applies the fixes when they are ready. You can cancel the process at any time by clicking stop in the side panel. Image via Google Google has been pushing its Gemini integration in Google Sheets for a while now, steadily moving AI features from side panels directly into user spreadsheets. Last year, the Mountain View giant shipped an =AI() Function in Sheets that allowed users to run translation and text generation directly inside cells instead of using the side panel interface. Earlier this year, the company announced that Gemini in Sheets had reached near-human expert performance, achieving a 70.48% success rate on the SpreadsheetBench dataset.
    • It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I get what you are saying, If i go onto the Instagram site, it says log in with Facebook, but they are not allowed to link my account with Instagram until I do that. Maybe in the U.S, they can link them, but Privacy is not a thing in the U.S. the way things are going,l won;t be any better in the U.K.

    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      Exactly, this is just the beginning. I hope that by that time, our inept politicians devise something like a Universal Basic Income, because unemployment and poverty rates will skyrocket otherwise. And believe me, robots that perform physical work aren't a matter of IF, but WHEN. No career is truly safe from AI/robots, it's just a matter of time.
