Woo hoo! This even overshadows the fact that me and a few friends actually convinced someone to rm -rf /
To think that 2 great computing related things have happened in one day, makes me almost cry.

Triple boot OSx86 10.5.5, Vista Ultimate, and Ubuntu 8.10 :cool:
Ubuntu is my OS for testing others, since I've already got VMware installed.
All on my laptop =]

I triple boot Vista, Windows 95 and Gentoo. Gentoo took a while to start compiling but it did it eventually. Windows 95 is there for sentimental reasons above all else.

don't do that command if your running an os which does runs unix commands. Most probably your install is protected from it unless you disable it. I think Ubuntu does because its whole aim is easy computing which your grandparent's shouldn't easily break.

If you're interested, it is a command which deletes all files from all mounted filesystems (apart from those which are read-only of course [luckily for someone I know :cool:])

Probably not, does OSX run UNIX commands?

Apparently rm is a command for terminal or whatever its called. So... it may do.

EDIT: Upon further inspection it seems -f can be used to force delete so actually it probably would, so don't try it. I figures since it is mainly built on Nextstep which is UNIX (I think)

Not sure about the newest OSX, but I know OSX is Unix based. At least, I'm 99% sure.

Yeah, because I found a website that said rm -f is a valid command so rm -rf / should be.

This thread has gone from Windows 7 Beta to rm -rf /

I wanna see just how close they mimick the vista.  It seemed most of vista's problems spawned from
trying to prevent piracy.  Should be interesting.

It's apparently a lot faster and less resource intensive than Vista too. The thing I am anticipating most is Libraries.

Unfortunately they have delayed the release for people who aren't members of the MSDN.

Update on Windows 7 Beta Availability
Brandon LeBlanc
Yesterday, 8:53 PM
Due to very heavy traffic we’re seeing as a result of interest in the Windows 7 Beta, we are adding some additional infrastructure support to the Microsoft.com properties before we post the public beta. We want to ensure customers have the best possible experience when downloading the beta, and I’ll be posting here again soon once the beta goes live. Stay tuned! We are excited that you are excited!

windows 7 is pretty neat, i have it running in VMWare rather well despite no official vm support for it, the only thing i can't do is use the aero becuase the virtual graphics card, although, i might be able to; im not sure..

in any case, its pretty neat and rather fast, which is definitely good
