Nidonocu Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Little bit off topic but more of a fun question since I'm at that stage right now. What do you do while your PC is at the endless 'Completing Installation' screen? In my case er.. Making silly posts on Neowin! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making silly posts on Neowin! :D 586333232[/snapback] I just go get a drink/smoke etc. I did find it odd that the "completing installation" takes longer than the actual instalation itself though :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chavo Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 The last time I went out of the house, that big fireball in the sky blinded me. I think I would have burst into flames if I didn't rush back into the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtreme $niper Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Hah well seeing as how I went through that process twice, I ended up spending most of the time either sitting there staring off into space, listening to music from my mp3 player, or walking around taking pics.

canadian397 Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 Well I got so bored I went and washed the outside of the house and while doing the front i noticed the Vista desktop so i finished the front quickly and went inside and tried it out :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunbiz_3000 Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 I was completing my college assignments, while Vista was being installed............... :woot: I really miss those old Linux installation where you could play a game of tetris while the OS was being installed. I want MS to come out with something innovative with the Vista installation.....like they could have videos(not high quality, coz the drivers wouldnt have been installed) of the history of Windows or how Windows improved all these years. They could have some games like "marbles" that they had in their PLUS package last time........ All this would surely have made the boring and loooong Vista installation a little more better....

Vice Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 I took the time out to tell Nasa to stop sending junk up into space. I then told president bush he's the smartest guy in the world :| I then killed 3 people 2 being made of clouds. I then ate green eggs and ham, in a box with a fox in a house with a mouse talked to a louse etc... Then - I woke up - and Vista was installed.
