#Cool edit pro 2.0 release date year driver#

Well, I did have one blue screen after I loaded an unsigned driver for a Midiman Oxygen, but I fixed that…. Geez, I run XP flawlessly on one of them low rent celerons that you guys slag, no issues. Sure, WPA, DRM, spyware, etc is a pain in the ass and using Windows means that you have to dodge bullets, as long as I can bypass/work around them and keep using the shit for free, I’m happy If you put this app against ANYTHING that Linux has to offer, you will understand very quickly just one reason why I’m still using Windows. What they do offer is more than adequate–unless you need one of the missing features.”Īs for me, I just started using Cool Edit Pro 2.0 as an audio editor. Premier Linux apps like StarOffice, Evolution, and The GIMP still provide only a subset of the features found in Microsoft Office, Microsoft Outlook, and Adobe Photoshop. “You can get every conceivable utility for Linux, most at no cost, but many can’t match the best Windows or Mac apps. In short, when comparing XP to the latest Linux distros, I don’t think stability is something that Linux has on its side anymore.īut the main thing I think people are overlooking in the article is this:

I think veterans of each OS know how to tweak them and make them run flawlessly, though newcomers (like myself, who managed to crash Mandrake 9 in less than 30 minutes) might have some trouble. Either that, or else they’ve got like 40 apps running in the system tray with no idea what most of them are for.Īnyway, get one of those fancy new GUIs up and running in Linux, and I think the stability thing is really a non-issue. Seriously though, most people I’ve heard complaining about stablitly in 2k/XP are usually running computers at work or in a school lab, running on low caliber Celerons and using parts (such as integrated video/sound) that are so shitty and cheap, they make Winmodems look state-of-the-art by comparison. “and while I’ve only seen one Solaris crash in the last month, we get at least one XP total crash (freezes for over 5 minutes, ALT+CTRL+DELETE …”įirst of all, who gives a damn about Solaris? Personally, I don’t know ANYBODY who has a Solaris box sitting in their living room.Īs for stability, I’m going to pull a ‘Linux zealot’ here and say that if you have an XP box that’s crashing all the time, it’s because you’re too stupid to know how to use it properly (Any Windows user in here ever heard that about Linux?) Windows XP, rock solid? Yeah, if you tie a rock to it!! 🙂 This setup has been running for 2 months now, rock solid! So today my wife’s computer is running Redhat Null (soon to be upgraded to 8.0) with Windows 2000 under VMWare But at that point we lost all confidence. This one I managed to fix by copying some DLL from the net (custom login screen). Some error like a missing DLL needed for the login screen. After applying a windows update, the LOGIN screen refused to come up.

Reinstalling proved to be the fastest route to getting a usable install again. The XP rescue thing didn’t get us too far. Some service failed to load and the screen instructed me to reboot to fix the problem, only to return at the same screen over and over again. The first time it just bluescreened at startup one morning. I already reinstalled XP 2 times on my wifes computer. WindowsXP is ROCK SOLID here! I haven’t had a single crash since March 16th 2002, which was the day I installed it.

Hopefully this will be better after we upgrade to a newer distro (probably RedHat 8.1 whenever it comes out). It’s generally very solid in terms of not locking up or crashing, but very flaky when it comes to printing, sound support, and the like, even between identical set-ups on identical hardware. We also have several RedHat 7.2 GNU/Linux labs. Still, Solaris - in my experience - crushes Windows in terms of stability. It’s not a great track record, but it is the best Microsoft has done (apart from Windows 2000). Note that all changes users make to a machine are rolled-back automatically, and generally these users just use Internet Explorer/Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Office.

Mac OS 9.2, of course, is much worse in this regard.

Well, I work part-time in a number of computing labs (Solaris, Windows XP, Mac OS 9.2 - I’m on the last of those right now), and while I’ve only seen one Solaris crash in the last month, we get at least one XP total crash (freezes for over 5 minutes, ALT+CTRL+DELETE not working, must manually power cycle) a day (1 per 40 computers per 4 hours) plus several other mini-crashes (ALT+CTRL+DELETE, kill Explorer and all “not responding” processes) in that same period.
