yea u may be True Devil but a 10-12 hours of Decompressing of 2GB file will be less for me as compared to download speed of stable 2KBps ....
swtchin to BB etc...are diff things which probably are not possible for me .but if it decompresses as i stated then its a mini size boon for me![]()
Has this actually ever worked for any one? I don't think so.
hehe system ki watt lag jayegi tere.And koi gurantee nahi hai woh decompress hone ke baad chalegi.![]()
ye to koi decompress karega tabhi pata chalega.lol.I gave up after an hour.
Well if no one's going to try the WinRAR trick, I guess I shall have to reveal All.
The file is not Vista, not even a pre-release build. It's a meticulously crafted collection of files that really have no content apart from the same character repeated several times - open any of them in notepad and you'll see.
Compression works on a simple funda - find patterns, and then store the number of times it's repeated. So compressing a text file with, say, "Digit" written a hundred thousand times will create a text file that is most likely 50 odd MB, but when I compress it, it will be a KB at best - the compression algorithm will just read the content as "Digit * 100000", which obviously takes up little or no space.
And guess what? Every single file in this iso is like this.
WinRAR, incidentally, compressed the iso to 1.2 MB.
Finally, tech_mastermind: I hope you got your answer now. Someone could rename the goatse image to "Vista.iso", but that doesn't make it Vista now, does it? Please grow a few more brain cells before stepping out into the real world.
