I find Windows 7 to be thoroughly mediocre. Sure, it's got a lot of shine, but it's broken a few of my old programs, and doesn't offer anything new and useful to me.
If those are your primary concerns, then it's unlikely any OS upgrade is going to offer you any value.
That's because you're supposed to use the soap box first, and we have become apathetic. Naturally, when the TEA Party shows up, they're ridiculed and called racists. Go back into your pasture, you stupid little sheep!
(Of course the intruder would be alerted that I have called the police and am armed to comply with local laws. Also the police would be alerted that the homeowner is at the top of the stairs in his underwear with a Mossberg.)
Which, of course, completely explains why the violent crime rate is lower in the UK, Australia, Japan, Sweden, Canada, France, Germany, and a whole host of other countries where firearms are strictly regulated.
It's why non-Americans think the U.S. gun culture is so obviously insane. I remember talking to one person here on Slashdot who recommended that I read the Turner Diaries [wikipedia.org] (which is often sold at gun shows to gun enthusiasts) in order to understand the gun culture in America. The funny thing is he thought the Turner Diaries was a NORMAL and intellectually stimulating thing to read, just like the Bible.
Rest assured that "The Turner Diaries" is a white supremacist fantasy novel and has nothing to do with "the gun culture".
just plain Gun Happy, as most Americans seem to be.
Again, clearly wrong or else we wouldn't have draconian gun control laws in so much of the USA.
Obama, relative to pretty much any other president in my lifetime, does not make gaffes in public. He just doesn't
He doesn't want his daughter "punished with a baby". He didn't know anything about the Cambridge incident, but he summarily claimed that the police "acted stupidly". He claims that "everyone is going to have to sacrifice something," yet his wife goes on a lavish vacation to Spain and he enjoys at least three vacations (albeit short) himself. He actually criticized the Post Office while trying to plug it as a good example for government-run organizations. He also had plenty of little "Bushisms", like pronouncing "corps" like "corpse"; "the reforms we seek would bring greater competition, choice, savings and inefficiencies to our health care system," and "It was also interesting to see that political interaction in Europe is not that different from the United States Senate. There's a lot of -- I don't know what the term is in Austrian, wheeling and dealing."
If anyone intended to balance a runaway budget in one year, during a recession, he WOULD be an idiot. It took decades to get us here, and it'll take at least five years just to balance the budget again. So basically, thanks for the straw man.
That's like saying Cuba is no communist country; if you want to see REAL communism you have to look at Mao's China (20-40 million dead in the Great Leap) or Stalin's Russia (God knows how many millions). No thanks!
Well, the WWW didn't exist in 1989, but OS/2 Warp came with an internet suite (and the web browser was downloadable from the built-in update utility). This was in 1994. Windows still used the non-OO "Program Manager" and Bill Gates thought the internet was going to be run by MSN and AOL.

I've seen Red Green, so clearly that's not the case.

They decided to put us all on prescription painkillers and psychotropics, instead.
Israel launched a direct strike on the Iraqi Tammuz 1 reactor in 1981. That being said, it was still under construction.
So what you're saying is that the sword sucks shit?

Is there a reason that they DO carry automatic weapons when they see fit, or that there are cameras all over the cities?
That alert sounds like, "chuck CHAK".
Well, one shooting in a mall is the reason for Oz essentially banning all effective firearms.
Wrong.

What's the penalty? Fine, right? Justice served.
There are already a bunch of vultures in Manhattan.
You forgot the criminal plague...
Why do southerners call it the "War of Northern Aggression", anyway-- being as the rebels started by firing on Fort Sumter?
Yay for apathy!

Because the Presidency is a dictatorship, and Congress doesn't determine what we spend money on or where we send our military.

How is that relevant to her ability to govern? OMG LOL SHE IS DUMB LIEK FLAT-EARTHER is not an acceptable response.
No.
Where's the "-1, Didn't respond to the poster's argument in his retort" moderation when we need it?

Then what's with the "lickable" buttons?
BTW, neither Windows Vista nor 7 look like that.
