I'll yield the floor to LSZ on this one. I'm trying to keep my involvement in this thread civilized.

Thanks, beats.

Let me first say to everyone how happy I am to be here, today. It's a real pleasure to address all of you in this thread. Now then...

Greatest.
Article.
Ever.

At this point, even Linux has more brand cred than Microsoft.



So many nuggets of gold to be found in that article but, really, the one that stands out tall and proud is:

Six months after Apple's (AAPL, Fortune 500) release of the iPad, Microsoft still has virtually no presence in the tablet market.

Yeah, hacks into OSX continue to be a major problem around the world, lol.

And as Microsoft once helped bail Apple out (fair is fair), as an Apple fanboy whose insight is just as valuable as an Apple employee I would like to recommend that Microsoft consider getting involved in the vinyl record pressing industry. Vinyl being that which will never die and also an industry that isn't already over-saturated with tech companies and already operates under extremely low consumer expectations. It would be an easy transition.



OK, back to being civilized......

64-bit version can access more than 4GB of RAM

Blurry... oh no.

It somewhat works.

I like the search feature almost everywhere. Mainly in the Start menu and in Control Panels (who's able to remember which icon from the millions is doing what I need actually).

Explain.

for example, there is no distinction between the quicklaunch buttons and the applications that are actually open, you just have icons and when it's app is running the icon is outlined. If you want a shortcut for an app tha's running (i.e. you don't want the icon to disappear when you close the program) you can just pin it to the taskbar. You can do the same with the start menu. It's not revolutionary or anything, I just think it's smarter than the old "shortcuts" method.

Sure some will make fun of the CPU wasting from the visual transparency, etc. but the same people would bitch that OSX is prettier and has an animation of your window getting squeezed when you minimize it. I think it's a good thing Windows 7 looks like an OS from this century, it was about fucking time. If I want to save CPU for a gig I change the theme to "windows basic" which is the same as XP, then press F11 in Live so I don't have to look at the ugliness.

+1

just start typing whatever you're looking for and you have it, kinda like autocomplete in web browsers.

Love the way you get all competitive about OS features like searching the hard drive and launching applications from the taskbar (or whatever they call it on macs). You guys are so fucking cool.

Best feature on both of my computers is I can make music on them.

And you wonder why people come over to my forum instead of hanging out here.

Nice bait. Go fuck yourselves.

Well, I wouldn't say that Tod and 3 spambots are 'people' per se, but I get your drift, broham.
