lol, you are such a joke, i don't know why i waste my time...but here goes. I do not argue for arguments sake, that is your typical response to my posts when they disagree with yours. As for the constructiveness of my posts, I guess that is your opinion, not accurate, but opinions rarely are. I have never implied about where ever it is you may work, nor do i even care. I did not called YOU a fanboi, i said that "fanbois were predicting that" jeez, you really need to work on your reading comprehension.
1. I said that because you always have some argument with just about anything i post, and for the most part you predictably get personal with your attacks, deflect responsibility, and wave your e-peen around.
2. Good to know that your business is the bar to be used to measure the entire computer industry.
3. Good for you and starting to predict it a year ago, when others have been for decades and it STILL hasn't happened. That was my point.
4. my response to your comment on Win7 was concise and direct and accurate. You seem to take exception that i responded to it and tried to make it look like i was "picking it apare" when I was simply responding and correcting your statement regarding the "Fast release of Win7 as being evidence of the changing market place and the serious threat to microsoft" which doesn't exist."
5. This last part just made me lol, really... pointing out your supposed 6 figure income makes everything you say right now does it? lol, so you have been working on computers for both work and hobby? well, welcome to the club. 2 decades working in video game design and production, as well as being a computer "enthusiast" for the last 25 years. so what?
You have some sensitivity issues it seems like, so I try to be nicer and use lots of smileys and be more friendly in my posts so as not to ruffle your feathers....meh, what am i saying..no i wont. Man up, stop being so sensitive. the world does not revolve around you.
This no longer pertains to the topic, I will not continue this and further derail this thread.
Been up and running on XP-64 for over a year now. No issues to report. But, BIG BUT, I built my system with XP-64 in mind and have decent drivers. YMMV.

And also, even with more than 4 gigs of ram in the machine, CoX still won't be able to use more than the 32bit architectural limit.

Correct. CoH will max out at 2GB of memory usage. Where more memory comes in handy is when you have other things running in ADDITION to the OS and the game.

Okay, I'm a Linux booster and Linux user from way way...WAY back (91-92 anyone?). Have a server in-house running Linux, dual-boot it on my main machine, and have a fallback system running it. Plus I have several Linux boxes implemented at work as well.
While Linux is seeing decent to excellent penetration in the business market, most of that penetration is SERVER SIDE. VERY little of it is Linux on the desktop.
THAT is where Linux pretty much "loses" to Windows. Until Linux sees significant penetration in the desktop arena, it's going to stay out of the mainstream consciousness. Unfortunately, to compete in the desktop environment, people pretty-much demand Windows, even if it ain't Windows.
I'd LOVE to be able to say differently. But I'd be lying through my teeth.

Point out where I have ever done that before with anyone let alone you.

My reading comprehension is good, double check yours, right here in the 4th paragraph you suggested I worked at Gamestop selling used game cards:

I didn't mean this thread, you merely suggested it here, the post where you did appears to have fallen off the end of the boards, but you have called me an ATI fanboi (not that I really care either way its just another good way to point out your pattern of misinformation). And as the only one of the 2 of us that has any credibility at this point it will stand to be true.

Take another look who responded to whom? This time and last, and come back here and say that again with a straight face.
You responded to me in this thread first and in this one here as well: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showflat....part=3&vc=1
And as far as Epeens go you opened the door to that one here in the 5th paragraph:

Whats more is you contradict yourself, claiming 11 years the first time and now 20.

You don't actually ever give any information, or even present an argument point against my statements, the net sum of your posts can be boiled down to some form of 'nuh-uh', or that somehow the marketing info on the side of a game box is a technical reference.
So its good that you are giving up, discussing anything with you has been a complete waste of time, its long overdue that you wandered back somewhere where your FUD and unhelpful nonsense could be seen as at least laughable, try the PVP section you should fit in very well there.
And if you do come back to this thread or any others i'm in, please bring your big guns, i'm tired of holding back and treating you with kid gloves.
And so the topic degenerates. Sigh. This kind of thread makes me wish for a thread ignore, 'cause ya both bring stuff to the table for other things, but this is seriously a case of:
TAKE IT PM GUYS!
Because really? You're just sniping each other now. No need for us to see it... there will be no victor here.
/will try to avoid the thread, but it keeps showing up and I can't remember which ones to not click on.
August 31, 2012. A Day that will Live in Infamy. Or Information. Possibly Influence. Well, Inf, anyway. Thank you, Paragon Studios, for what you did, and the enjoyment and camaraderie you brought.
This is houtex, aka Mike, signing off the forums. G'night all. - 10/26/2012
Well... perhaps I was premature about that whole 'signing off' thing... - 11-9-2012
Well its clear yet again that you are choosing to argue for argument sake, you have tried to brand me with a fanboi moniker, you have tried to pretend that I work for Compustore(generic) and now you have nothing constructive to say again.

What, you disagree with something I said? There's a shocker...
[/ QUOTE ]
I gave clear reasons why I disagree, anything else is your prejudice.
[ QUOTE ]
So because you did it, the entire industry will follow suit?
[/ QUOTE ]
I gave 1 example of many, and yes sure, I call it the thin edge of the wedge when regular businesses are considering alternate solution providers from the mainstream ones.

10 years ago the linux/mac fanboys were saying the same thing.

I wasn't, I have started to predict this trend about 1 year ago.

The speed of Windows 7 has nothing to do with marketplace changing, it has to do with the crap OS that is Vista. It is not a full release, it is only an incremental one, despite what MS will tell you. There is not enough changes or differences of the 2 OS's to be called an entirely new OS.
[/ QUOTE ]
It was 1 example again, please feel free to pick it apart in a vacuum. I think the rapid release schedule for Win7 is significant in the marketplace, people were/are looking for alternatives because Vista is such a lame duck.

You are only speculating anyway, history supports what I said.

I am speculating, have been for my 20+ years of paid computer work and 10 years of hobby computing before that.
I started paid computer work when the adage of the time was "you can't go wrong with IBM" and I have seen every company, Symantec, Microsoft, you name it, wear that badge. MS has made me buckets of money I have promoted/installed/supported/sold their products non stop for many years now.
I owe my 6 figure working half time self employed income to the computer industry and I have been very very happy with my history of speculation in the same.
I am a computerist and i'll use anything by anyone if it gets the job done.
