Really? So your posting on a forum and yet dont know how to make your PC stable? Amazing...
I dont know where people get this "less stable" crap; My PC runs great on Vista with 0 issues. Alot of people I know dont have any issues with Vista. Everyone bitched when XP came out and now everyone wants the same thing with Vista

With that made up statistic, did you know that PCs with Vista included have sold more than double than PCs with XP in the same lifetime period?

Another thing that bothers me is how could Windows Vista be a standard when no old standards work on it? The reason mostly of the scripts aren't working in Messenger Plus! is because Vista removed support for old standards (for example, VB6 ActiveX support). What were Microsoft thinking?
Keyword: old
So hey we should have support Betamax on Vista right?
Or support for MCA?

This new security thing in Vista called UAC is another stupid feature of Vista as well, luckily you can turn it off. If you want to rename a folder, you have to press "I accept" at least 3 times (if you change the file-extension). 3/4's of all users just click Accept anyway, because they get so used to it (a research was made about this recently).

You do the exact same thing in OSX/Unix/most other operating systems. Whenever you do something that modifies system settings a dialog comes up "Accept or reject" and if you are not a admin, you must type a admin password and press "Accept or reject" Now because Windows does it, its wrong?
And I just renamed a folder. Guess how many UAC's came up? 0.
Dont know what pirate beta you are using but stop spreading BS.


Like I said: Id like for scripts to be forced to work on both Vista/XP but if not I perfer a more modern, stable, better, improved, and technologically advanced OS which is Vista.

That is one of the oldest and childish cheap shots to take at MS. Grow up.

By your logic Cookie since alot of people still use 98SE and 2000 Plus! should be still supported on these platforms. Patchou shouldnt have stopped with Plus!; Patchou should have kept on with Plus! and Plus! Live at the same time....

Yes, because we all wanna wait even longer between releases. Plus! 3 is in a stable state with enough features to keep the users happy. The only reason MP!L is continued with is because M$ are trying to force WLM onto people in XP and Vista rather than their predecessors. It's understandable that companies want to further their products and still support older versions for people that prefer them, but they aren't just one man are they?

Well its kinda infeasible time-wise to be coding for 2 almost completely different programs...would you rather wait twice the time for the next Plus! Live version to come out? I doubt that.


I was talking about Cookie's logic; I am glad the old Plus! died seeing as Plus! Live is alot better :)
