If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!
I have seen the BSOD when I had vista over 5 times, seen it once or twice on another desktop, and over 3 times on "pappy" my old broken Vaio .
I can drag and drop things in Arch. I don't know why you can't in ubuntu samwise . Ubuntu is my least favorite distro. With "sudo" You can gain administrative privileges without administrative passwords, it's too popular, and leaves a lot of security holes. Still better than windows though .
I generally use a Windows 2000 SP4 and latest-version Ubuntu dual-boot.
Win2k because it has decently wide compatibility and decent security as long as you use a proper program setup, and is thus far better than XP for my needs. ...although I wish iTunes would get more back-compatible, it's very annoying.
I'm really just an Ubuntu/General Linux novice, though. Once I learn to make better use of it it might be worth a single-boot system.

My favorite computer is probably my first one which was like a Windows 5.0 because it was very kid friendly. I learned so much about how to use the computer on that computer.... Also, there were sweet games.
Well, right now, I have an x box and I like to play sports games. But back in the day, lol, I loved Commander Keen 1,2, and 3. Also, I liked Captain Comic. There was also this alien game where you had to find all the letters?? Anyways... lol. What about you. Any great computer games you like/ liked?
I'm a Windows person, but I really have never used a Max, and only used Linux a couple times. No idea of a brand, since everyone I've used and/or owned has been mean to me.

I've used windows all my life and like it, although I'm sorta getting into Linux too. (lol, sorta.. *cough*)
I find with Vista a few people hate on it and then people just follow by example...It's got some issues but I think it's a good stable OS. I'd definitely use it over XP for regular computing.
But the best system and OS is Mac OS 10.5 Leopard.
I got Vista for my laptop. I didn't really like it because I couldn't get my older programs to work on it. Now I really like it since I got the 1st service pack. They need hurry with the next service pack, then maybe it be the bomb! At least for me.
Vista hasn't exactly been my friend. It's for games only, I have a copy of XP pro, but it has ran it's license out (:- ). Vista has actually given me more trouble with my wireless card than Linux has altogether. All I have to do is go into hibernate mode, and come back into vista, and bam, I have to reinstall my wireless card .

Vista is actually killing me. It is exceedingly slow while downloading updates and the like- it needs new updates EVERY SINGLE DAY (no matter how much I try to stay on top of them, I can't ever keep up), and it has a bluescreen error going on... I still haven't gotten to the bottom of it, and it's killing me. I'll be sitting on my computer, doing w/e, and all of the sudden the screen will turn blue with wide wording, saying that it's restarting to save my information. Supposedly it has something to do with my Intel Turbo Memory Driver :\.
