What Vista Is Really Like

Posted by kdawson on from the hotsauce-on-your-meatloaf dept.

This waking dream has been making the rounds: what if you woke and found a strange and beautiful woman in your bed, and she was inscrutible, unpredictable, and dangerous... but oh so beautiful? That's Vista for you.

    what if you woke and found a strange and beautiful woman in your bed, and she was inscrutible, unpredictable, and dangerous... but oh so beautiful? That's Vista for you.

    Yeah, but the problem with women like that is that they're like chocolate. Sweet at first, then increasingly bitter.

    Vanity article about Vista ... again ...

    I'm not against Vista [though I am], I'm not for it [truth], I just don't care. Are we not yet over the novelty of Vista yet or what? It's basically Windows XP++, big deal.

  4. Kinda funny, but utter rubbish by David+Horn · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Mildly funny, but why does the author go on a rant about viewing the screen resolution? For crying out loud, it's only 3 clicks away from the desktop. Ironically, exactly the same as in XP...

    That's a pretty clever demo, but it hardly makes me jealous. If Linux comes up with tools in the future that top Quartz Composer, Cocoa, CoreData, CoreVideo and CoreAnimation, then I'll use them.

    Yeah, I'll pass on "Brittany Spears" "beautiful." I prefer something more classically beautiful than trendy white trash thank you very much.

    Guess what? Firefox does the exact same thing: "Firefox prevented this site from opening 2 popup windows" in a light yellow bar at the top of the page with an X on the right side to close it. "Only Microsoft" indeed.

    I imagine the information bar increases the usability of websites that still require pop-ups for users who wouldn't otherwise know that their browser is blocking these windows. An icon in the status bar at the bottom of the window is too subtle for some users.

    Try V for vendetta. Though Alexa Davalos was pretty hot in Riddick, I don't recall the shaven head thing. And before I get modded off topic, only on Slashdot would discussion of two foxy chicks be off topic.

    I'm a overweight computer geek happily engaged in a stable relationship with a marvellous (and believe me, very hot) girlfriend.

    I am quite sure no Windows fanboy is waking up with women in their beds, much less beautiful ones.

    As for the dangerous ones, there are always desperate guys that may give them a shot.
