Well, Vista has treated me pretty good for the past 4 years on my Macbook (it ran on the bootcamp beta all those years). The only major complaints I ever had for it was it's BS defragmenter and how fucking greedy it got with HDD space when it came to retaining fucking windows update installers (seriously, what the fuck).
I was thinking about making WXP my main development environment, but it's not completely up to date on some of the current tech. Namely GPT and exFAT. WXP64 supports GPT, but 32bit doesn't. WXP can support exFAT but it requires a WU download. Part of the whole having WXP as a "development environment" is it being able to access my resources (read: harddrives).
I'll be using VMware when it comes to WXP32 (just for my Xbox1 environment mostly) and maybe even start to venture into some Linux type stuff. In the end, my WXP64 partition will just be used for legacy usages. Since I'm not running it in a VM, it'll have full access to my GFX card. So older games will be safer and still enjoyable plus I'll be able to test graphical stuff on WXP.
Yeah, the cable (mis)management doesn't really matter since you're not up in your computer's junk everyday (at least the normal computer user isn't). I don't see it conflicting with any future PCI card addons, nor any later drives I might add. It may look ugly, but the case wasn't designed with that specific setup in mind (like a computer you order from Dell would be)
@Goat, I don't see any snails :P
Nope, no one that I know of in Germany was using SSDs. And when it comes to the gov't, they'll smash and obliterate any HDDs used in a production computer so no data is ever recoverable from it, even if the machine is Green (Unclassified).
On top of that, they have hand receipts for almost everything (except furniture, which is kind of funny). For example, another civilian IT guy that I worked with had a Buffalo NS that he absolutely DID NOT use (or rather couldn't, due to how our Win2008 images were configured by our theater's Signal command). So we had a 2 or 4GB beast just sitting there doing nothing. I asked him if he wanted me to take it off his hands (;p) but it too was on his hand receipt. If it ever came up lost or stolen he'd be responsible for paying back the gov't for it.
