Windows 7, Viritual Box, geek talk.
The last few days?
Craaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy.
Between school, the internet, the typing gig, the murals, the writey and the family... waaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! *rips out brains* Can't say I'm bored, though.
Thanks for the grats on getting the college! Done with finances now, starting the entrance exams soonish (probably tomorrow). I still have to go over the FAFSA results, but it looks like I may get a free ride while I'm in school, which is amazingly awesome. I'll have hella loans to pay back later, though. Heh!
Anyway, my OS is linux ubuntu, and according to the rep, I'm going to need to use a lot of Windows applications. Therefore, I had to download Virtual Box and Windows 7. Pray everything works right! I know Windows is still a working edition, but I'm sure everything will still work on it... right? Had a good look at it, and it seems mostly Vista anyway--Aero edition, but Vista.
*crosses fingers and toes*
Despite all the fretting, though, Virtual Box is AWESOME. I have no idea why I didn't do this sooner. Check it out:
Inside the box! Look, it's windows! (Complete with crappy cursor!)
TWO DESKTOPS! Bwahahahahahahahaha! The background one is KDE 3. I know I need to update to KDE 4, but I rather like KDE 3, so I'm probably going to keep it for a while longer. At least until 4 is more stable... erm... anyway, yaaaaaaaaay! You can't see my real cursor (which is blue, pretty, and transparent), but trust me, it is so much cooler.
I win!
So! Computer geeks! Do you think Dreamweaver, Adobe things, and the MS Office Suit will work on here? Well, maybe not Office so much. I hate Office. I hope I can work around that...
Also, I want to remind the world that I hate Windows. I installed it, played around, and it ALREADY had an error. Working edition or no, that's just sad. Not to mention it's slow as all fuck. I'll probably have to use a Windowmaker desktop when I use VB more often. *stabs Windows*
