Windows 7

[corvette k225]

Bill Gates, has said today that the windows new OS called Windows 7 will be out late in 2009. I just hope it will be alot better than vista was! I tryed Vista and gone
back to XP the support for XP should last tell 2012. I got that from PC world. I hope that Silent Hunter III will work good on Windows 7 Or maybe we will see a New Silent Hunter V out for Windows 7 I hope we go back to the North Atlantic
if we get a Silent Hunter v out, lets just cross are fingers.

If another WW2 submarine simulation is produced, I sincerely hope it will not be something financed by UBISoft. They are clearly not interested in publishing a finished product. Hopefully, the next group of people will be well aware of the simulation community here and will make a special effort to finance their venture so the simulation can be properly matured. As to what theater to feature, I hope they do it in such a way as to be able to produce both Atlantic and Pacific theaters...either simultaneously or as an add-on.

It pains me to think what the devs could be capable of if given the time they needed

All i read about Windows 7 so far was that even more useless eye candy stuff and endless but complex super-wonder-gimme-more features get implemented that many of us probbaly have no reasonable use for. that users want a slim, ressource-economic OS that does not behave like the star of the show, but submissively serves in the background and is to be seen as rare and little as possible - that is they do not get at MS. Intentionally?

I would not hold my breath for Windows 7. too early too doom it, but I do not hold my breath for it, really. what they reveal when commenting on their product philosophy so far tells me that they have not learned anything and are set to repeat and multiply the mistakes with Vista.

Hope I'm wrong.

I am a BETA tester for it and really should not be sharing any of this info with anyone ... but ... what the heck.

Well, here is the boot screen. The first Service Pack [SP-1, Gates 7.0] will fix the bad typo from version 1.01 to version 7.0. There is an entire division at MS working on this problem and it should be fixed for final release in 2087:






2087 Server Edition -
Next, the server Edition called Windows 2087 Bloatware Special Edition [BS Repellent-BETA] , will require this type of high end processor called Adam and Eve and the Rotten Apple a/k/a [AERA - Intercourse Interface]. Looks like this - that printer is an $EXPENSIVE$ option:






Microsoft 2087 Laptop Division - [formely call Kenmore Sewing Machines - 1960]
Even though it is in BETA, they are having a real hard time with the laptop version. The laptop weighs as much as a sewing machine and only has a 4-inch screen. Microsoft's work around is for you to go to their download center and fill out a form. They intern will send you a 24-inch magnifying glass to put over you current 4-inch screen. Here is the latest in Microsoft's Windows 2087 laptop technology:






The thing I hate the most about the BETA Windows 2087 is the calculator program. How could you jazz that up? Look at what replaces it:









The last thing I can show you without breaking my contract is the boot screen. I have been doing some looking around and it seems that the main base Operating System Kernel is driven by a product called Microsoft Bob, which I think Mrs. Gates was the head programmer for that product? My contract only allows me to send you a link - I really cannot post the boot screen. So click on this with caution because a patent lawyer may pay YOU a visit at 3 a.m right after the Matress Tag Police make sure all your tags are in order.

Click with caution in mind:

SH3 will most probably not work, this is where the dual OS setup comes in. Leave Winxp on and if you need to get Windows 7 then install on another partition. Ive done the same thing with Vista what wont run well on Vista i just reboot to XP.

Will Silent Hunter 3 install on Virtual Machines? IF so , I believe every installation problem can be solved, without complex dual OS stuff.

Download virtual machine software & install it
Install Windows XP in virtual machine and then Silent Hunter as well

Have fun

I can't say I'm surprised, Vista was a total flop. I used Vista Home Premium edition for about 5 minutes and decided I hated it, so many unnecessary bits in there its untrue. I get on by quite nicely with XP pro. And your right, the OS should be something in the background doing your bidding, not dancing around in front of your eyes with fancy graphics. What's with that slide thing between windows? What ever went wrong with selecting it off the task bar? :rotfl: NUBS! The lot of em'!

I have to chuckle every time a person makes a anti-Vista post like these, here.

I have three [3] Vista machines - my gaming rig, my work laptop, and the spouses business PC.

SHIII with GWX 2.0 no problem(s) on Vista - NONE. For SH IV - NEVER had one crash [ever] in two months of use with a new PC based on Vista. Cannot use SH IV on the laptop because of a CRAPPY Intel video graphics 945 series. ShIII runs just fine on my Vista based laptop. Laptop and spouse's PC have 2-gig RAM. My PC has 3-gig RAM. SHIII loads in 10-15 seconds. SH IV loads in 20-25 seconds.

Had a temp burp with one non-game program (Symantec ACT 2000) converting one database file. Installed this as a work around for $FREE$ and now use it almost everyday for kicks:

I have Vista Home Premuim on all machines. I created a XP Virtual machine and stuck in a valid XP CD and installed it. Then stuck in my SHIII DVD in the virtual machine - patched it to 1.4 - Damn thing worked including the sound on the virtual XP emulation mode! Kinda confusing running it in a Window mode - I am use to full screen - which later I figured out how to do.

Yesterday, Friday, created a Windows 98 Virtual PC. Stuck in a Windows 98 install CD. Pressed <del> (it is a fake CMOS or boot BIOS screen) while the Virtual CD was booting and reconfigured it to use my DVD as a source CD in Windows 98 Virtual PC. Installed the ORIGINAL version of Silent Hunter - I would be thwrice, doubled damned! IT WORKED, TOO!!!! including the sound.

So to you anti-Vista folks, go fly a kite.

BTW:
If you get Microsoft's Virtual PC 2007 (it is FREE), it claims that it is for Vista Business Edition or Vista Ultimate Editions only. Baloney! I am running it [Virtual PC-2007] on Vista Home Edition. Ignore the install warning box that it is not supported.

What Microsoft is telling you is:
Don't pick up a phone and expect free support on a problem you are having using Vista Home Edition to run Microsoft Virtual PC-2007.

The only downside I have found is USB based devices are not supported in the Virtual PC mode. Who cares? I am just trying to run an old game!
