http://enthusiast.hardocp.com/article.html?art=MTA0NSwxLCxoZW50aHVzaWFzdA==surprise surprise, MS is going to make us (force us) to run this resource hog vista. Happened to be flipping through a PC Computing magazine in the library the other day with a few "features" of vista, the most notable being:
- transparent windows (you can see the desktop through them
[big freakin' whoop, how does that improve the OS in any way?]
- thumbnails while alt-tabbing and descriptions while same
[I have that NOW, you can install that power tool and others NOW]
- When you put your mouse over a minimized window on your task bar a mini thumbnail pops up
[WHO CARES?!?! How does that help the OS any???]
Basically the article listed a lot of CRAP that adds enormously to code bloat (and resource consumption) but does jack watermelon to help you, the OS user, find a stable and easy to run OS.
Then take into account the link I posted about DX10, and you come to the conclusion that MS is a bunch of retards. I bet they have a room of 10,000 monkeys and won't be "done" updating Windows software for another 10,000 years.
*sigh*
I don't want to have to run that bloated crap called vista. XP has enough. What happened to the days of MINIMUM FOOTPRINT software??? Hrm??
*rant over*
