lol nice

great... can NASA get my computer running right now?

What game are they playing there, Galaga?

I really like XP, I'm on vista now though.

I am on XP... I might move to 7 when it comes out.... I am not even going to comment on vista

NASA still uses computers from the 70's... so nothing amazing there.

Ill stick with Vista, and will have 7 running within a month when I get some time to swap this one out, or goto dual boot.

TinyXP FTW!

If you want to hear something funny.. The computers on the shuttle are very old and simple, like 80's and early 90's. The astronauts bring lap tops along to plug in and help run the ship.

Space stuff is like banks, they are always 10 years behind on their systems.

This is the computer system it uses.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_AP-101

Do u get full functionality on that cute lil thing?

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Yep, but the fix will cost ya' $23,500 (but they use genuine NASA components).

:1orglaugh

maybe they have some other kind of xp, i would never get into the the ship guided and controled by xp. Would you?

Never ever had a problem with XP and no plans to change any time soon.

XP is real gold

I bought a new computer and it has vista as its OS. After only a few weeks I really miss XP and may even consider uninstalling Vista! If you have XP, words of advice... Stick with it!

yeah, xp rocks, but 7 is way better :thumbsup

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Erm, I highly doubt they use that piece of shit operating system as a whole.


Want proof?

XP is a best OS so far

XP is a nice OS, haven't tried MacOS yet though...

cool beans :D

or in this case... cool Beams!

Well, just getting ready to turn back to the old and good XP.

Sorry, NASA can't fix stupid. :winkwink:

hahahaha, funny!

they actually upgraded their flight system to the IBM-AP 101 S in 90 or 91

I love Windows XP!

GO XP!!!!

:2 cents:same

I am still on XP

Banks, Government and nearly all Fortune 500 companies are probably 3-5 years behind as far as tech goes. They do this on purpose because they require the upmost stability and reliability.

What the fuck happened to your head, boy? Burn and Dodge, or meth?

hehe probably a whole bureaucratic deal for them to go with a different OS

I pre-ordered Windows 7 yesterday. Lookin forward to that, but Vista has been fine for me :)

why bother? sure i guess it was different before they started using the same freakin hardware.. it's not your pc that sucks, it's your os.. www.ubuntu.com :2 cents:

maybe they are running it on a thinkpad

yup, I prefer XP as well. Vista blows.

Do you even know what TinyXP is?

As one of the few people using XP and Mac side by side on a daily basis ( I do like the navigation aspects of windows) I can tell you a little bit about what I went through last night:

I bought a new webcam from target and plugged it in to my XP machine expecting it to boot right up - instead I spend the next three hours trying to update "service pack" and all these other updates to the OS and all this crap even before I could install the service pack - these downloads put thousands of dll files on my machine and I was forced to restart 3 or 4 times and was unable to work during all this - it was a total nightmare.

The mac os is so vastly superior to windows is astonishing anyone still uses microsoft crap.

That's good to know.

Very nice, hehehehe!

Installed windows 7 few days ago, wont be going back to XP

fun topic...
