Anyone intalled XP or Media Center on the PS3?
This topic is locked from further discussion.
I was just curious. It would be so sacralicious to stream media from the PS3 to the 360... donalbaneXP runs like garbage on the PS3, you have to emulate it through linux. the PS3 wasnt made to run a poorly programmed and resource hungry OS like windows. windows eats resources, and has very poor management of memory, which is a problem, since the PS3 doesnt have a lot of ram. plus you have to emulate it through another OS, which just makes it even worse

I think the OS for the PS3 blows compared to the OS for the 360, but to each his own. I guess I'm a big fan of mult-itasking. On PS3 it's like, "NO, you will not be able to listen to music while chatting with a friend and downloading one game demo while playing another. One thing at a time! Exit what you're doing and return to the crossbar!!!"

MS knows how to make operating systems? ever heard of windows? Your question confuses me sir. I said MS knows operating systems. Do you disagree or what? Yes i do. Since they released their first version, windows has an history of one crappy release after another, and sticking to ancient technology (anyone remembers FAT?). Their change in NT and XP has been the only positive thing... and not that XP runs fast. Microsoft servers are laughtable too. As far as i know, 360 is the only thing that MS has pulled out with true good performance :P. Which is kinda scary.

Do you disagree or what? obviously he does, and hes right its horrid, have you been reading the reports about vista ? apple knows how to make an OS windows just rips them off, you know vista is a complete rip of mac OS10 and MS freely admits that ? and i seen someone running mac os10 on ps3 but it only was using the ppe, that is why most run like crap cus they run off the one core only, if they tapped into just one spe its could all be gravy. you should get ubuntu i heard its great on ps3 and other ones too, look em on youtube man[QUOTE="Gzus666"][QUOTE="donalbane"]I was just curious.

I have been with windows since 95... works like a charm, but I do admit I havn't tried any of the alternatives because I never had the need to. Also, I don't try and do to much in the way of advanced stuff, (maybe editing the occasional .ini file to make a game run in widesrceen or something minor like that) but I build PCs for fun and know my way around the hardware (going to build my friend one this weekend, actually.)
It seems people are saying that Windows is crappy compared to OSX, whereas I was discussing the different operating systems on the PS3 and 360. If you own both consoles and favor the way the PS3 handles things, I'd be really surprised. That's what I'm comparing... Sony with MS regarding their different CONSOLE operating systems.
I may actually install Linux on my PS3. People have been talking about how cool it is, and I like to dabble in stuff like that. Not many games though, eh?
So all you guys are posting on Macs, I take it?

you stated M$ makes a good OS, no, they dont. even if you dont have "problems" per say, you for sure have memory management problems, you just dont know it cause you have no comparison. i started computing with apple and MSDOS, both of which worked just fine. when the first windows came out, my god it was a nightmare. behind the scenes windows has always been a memory hog, most of that crap is not needed, but M$ tacks it on cause it is easier to sell aesthetic crap to the average dumb consumer than it is to sell a decent OS. look at Vista, you have to pretty much make your computer the equivilant of a top of the line gaming computer to run it decently. thats not what a OS is for, OS is to manage, not to hog more resources than the things you are going to be doing with the system. microsoft has sloppy code, thats the explanation for the constant errors that plague it. also its a closed source design, so problems dont get fixed very quickly unlike linux. $300 for a pile of crap OS? no thanks. never paid for windows on anything i own, never will.XP runs like garbage on the PS3, you have to emulate it through linux. the PS3 wasnt made to run a poorly programmed and resource hungry OS like windows. windows eats resources, and has very poor management of memory, which is a problem, since the PS3 doesnt have a lot of ram. plus you have to emulate it through another OS, which just makes it even worse Ok then I won't even try it.

My mom just bought a Dell PC with an AMD dual-core processor and 512MB ram and Vista Home Edition. After I cleared just about everything from the startup menu and removed all the crap applications that come pre-installed, and restarted, Vista was still constantly using more the 60% of the memory available. I could barely do anything. I was reading in PC World that they recommend 4GB of RAM for Vista to run perfectly. 4GB!!!!

Man, computers sure have gotten better. the boot discs and editing the autoexec.bat and the config.sys did suck, but i never said MSDOS was great, it wasnt user friendly, but it didnt eat system resources. Linux is based off the tride and true Unix system, which is used for real servers all over because of its reliability. most good OS systems are based off Unix, some more loosely than others, which hurts them i feel. M$ has no reason to make a better OS, cause they have no competition, cause they bought up all the rights to software and have everyone install it on every computer that you can buy. Mac has no game support, so not many people go to it except media nuts. just cause they own a larg market share, doesnt mean they arent garbage, cause they are. your "better" comment is true for the computer itself, but M$ has definitely gone downhill. they just dont care, cause they know there is nothing that can compete with them cause of their market share and blatent monopoly. Bill gates is just a snake, hes not smart, hes a college drop out who took advantage of people, screwed some people, and basically slithered his way to where he is at. if this was a real capitalist society, then M$ would have been shunned long ago after all these problems they never fix emerged for something much better, most likely linux or mac. when i think windows, i think unstable, mainly because it is.[QUOTE="donalbane"][QUOTE="eclipsed4utoo"][QUOTE="donalbane"]XP runs like garbage on the PS3, you have to emulate it through linux. the PS3 wasnt made to run a poorly programmed and resource hungry OS like windows. windows eats resources, and has very poor management of memory, which is a problem, since the PS3 doesnt have a lot of ram. plus you have to emulate it through another OS, which just makes it even worse Ok then I won't even try it.

There are not that many hardcore PC gamers out there. Mac lost because of Windows and intel. Windows offered a much more user friendly alternative to the Mac OS. Then software and hardware support followed Windows. Macs struggled against the IMBM PCs ever since they were released.

I have an MCSE (for those who don't know, "Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer"), and finally gave up on PC's and bought an IMAC. It was the best thing I have ever done. I don't want to get into it, but if you knew what Microsoft (and every PC manufacturer) did without your knowledge, you wouldn't be happy.
I witnessed it first hand with cold/hard evidence.

MS knows how to make operating systems? ever heard of windows? Your question confuses me sir. I said MS knows operating systems. Do you disagree or what? Yes i do. Since they released their first version, windows has an history of one crappy release after another, and sticking to ancient technology (anyone remembers FAT?). Their change in NT and XP has been the only positive thing... and not that XP runs fast. Microsoft servers are laughtable too. As far as i know, 360 is the only thing that MS has pulled out with true good performance :P. Which is kinda scary. lemme guess.... Apple and you are intimate butt buddies? seriously.... making fun of MS for windows is a joke that died 5+ years ago. the fact of the matter is, windows is on TWICE as many machines as any other operating system. Even Mac users are running windows now, and Apple made a specific effort to convert all of their computers over to an architecture that would allow it. If it was a crappy product..... somehow i just dont think this would have been possible.[QUOTE="donalbane"]XP runs like garbage on the PS3, you have to emulate it through linux. the PS3 wasnt made to run a poorly programmed and resource hungry OS like windows. windows eats resources, and has very poor management of memory, which is a problem, since the PS3 doesnt have a lot of ram. plus you have to emulate it through another OS, which just makes it even worse Ok then I won't even try it.

MS knows how to make operating systems? ever heard of windows? Your question confuses me sir. I said MS knows operating systems. Do you disagree or what? Yes i do. Since they released their first version, windows has an history of one crappy release after another, and sticking to ancient technology (anyone remembers FAT?). Their change in NT and XP has been the only positive thing... and not that XP runs fast. Microsoft servers are laughtable too. As far as i know, 360 is the only thing that MS has pulled out with true good performance :P. Which is kinda scary. lemme guess.... Apple and you are intimate butt buddies? seriously.... making fun of MS for windows is a joke that died 5+ years ago. the fact of the matter is, windows is on TWICE as many machines as any other operating system. Even Mac users are running windows now, and Apple made a specific effort to convert all of their computers over to an architecture that would allow it. If it was a crappy product..... somehow i just dont think this would have been possible. a lot of people drive european cars, doesnt make them good, they are piles of crap. just cause lemmings buy something, doesnt make it good. remember the baby boomer generation are the ones mostly buying a lot of this stuff, and a lot of them dont have in depth knowledge of computers. dont act like M$ is some amazing force and they won the market share because of a good product, your lying to yourself if you believe that.[QUOTE="Roland123_basic"][QUOTE="ZeLeam"][QUOTE="donalbane"][QUOTE="ZeLeam"][QUOTE="donalbane"]XP runs like garbage on the PS3, you have to emulate it through linux. the PS3 wasnt made to run a poorly programmed and resource hungry OS like windows. windows eats resources, and has very poor management of memory, which is a problem, since the PS3 doesnt have a lot of ram. plus you have to emulate it through another OS, which just makes it even worse Ok then I won't even try it.

Volvo suspension fell to pieces about every 15k miles or so, Audi, Mercedes, BMW, Porche, VW are all the same way. VW almost went bankrupt because they were putting out rolling garbage for so long, till they revamped themselves. they are still junk, just not as bad as they were. most american cars besides their sports models are oil leaking machines. japanese cars vary from model to model, but mostly good quality with minimal problems. so yes, the european car was a perfect analogy[QUOTE="Roland123_basic"][QUOTE="Gzus666"][QUOTE="Roland123_basic"][QUOTE="ZeLeam"][QUOTE="donalbane"][QUOTE="ZeLeam"][QUOTE="donalbane"]XP runs like garbage on the PS3, you have to emulate it through linux. the PS3 wasnt made to run a poorly programmed and resource hungry OS like windows. windows eats resources, and has very poor management of memory, which is a problem, since the PS3 doesnt have a lot of ram. plus you have to emulate it through another OS, which just makes it even worse Ok then I won't even try it.

I guess you just have a diferent concept of "stable" than us. BTW, windows is not "good" for software, it's just a matter of support. Since windows is more extended it gets all the controllers etc, which linux doesnt. Linux is better than windows in every single thing except the support (specially game wise), and yes, if games were made for linux (along with good graphic drivers) they'd run better. Basicaly, the only reason windows is so extended atm is the early start and years of monopolistic agressive busines model...Please Log In to post.
