This is a normal post ^ This
I find it amusing that people are still bitching on about the fact that Windows used to crash a bit. As far as I'm concerned it's up there with protesting against the Berlin Wall. The world has moved on and you didn't even notice.

This is a normal post Me hads a problem with last computer on XP
Had bluescreen a fair bit.

Now on to Vista, it used to lock up a bit, but now it seems to be okay for some reason. I'm soooort of taking to it, but it is bloody annoying with its security alerts:

OH HOLY SHIT, YOU JUST MOVED THE MOUSE, ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO DO THAT?
[click yes]
OH HOLY SHIT, YOU JUST CLICKED THE MOUSE, ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO THAT?
[click yes]
OH HOLY SHIT, YOU JUST CLICKED YES, ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO DO THAT?
etc.

Then again, I suppose they do have to make it for idiots at risk of offending their core demographic.

This is a normal post Yeah it's tedius
but it's benefits are worth a little agro from time to time. It should push developers into making their software a bit better in the first place, it's surprising how many XP apps need admin priviledges to run for any user, pretty shit design really, no hope in hell in running in a guest account either.

This is a normal post I'm skipping Vista all together and hoping they get it right the next time
it's a shame about my DX 10 graphics card though....

If any developers working on the next OS X version or the next Windows version see this:
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD LET ME TURN OFF ALL THE BLING IF I WANT TO!!!!

This is a normal post But you can do that already can't you?
You can make Vista look like XP simply enough, and disable the UAC.

This is a normal post ok, but can I make Vista looklike windows 2000?
oh
can I make Vista look like Windows 2000?
that would be great
then I'll only have OS X to bitch and moan about.

/sorry 'bout that

This is a normal post Yup sorry, that's actually what I meant, not XP.
XP in classic mode / 2k.

This is a normal post It's not that bad after you've been through the first security alerts
I've been using it for 6 months now, and wouldn't go back. I find it crashes *far* less than XP ever did, and I use it like a bastard. Benefits: It supports my DX10 8800GTS, and my 4GB RAM (though XP 64 would do this too).

It's also noticeable faster than XP for almost everything I do.
