* kaijyuu is still on vista.

Like hell I was going to buy a new OS when I built my computer when I could use the one I bought previously.

This post made me raaaaaaaaaaaaaage.

The cost of loss of productivity by using Vista is much greater than the cost of a decent OS.

To be fair, I dual boot with Ubuntu. I only really use Windows for gaming.

I think I miss XP (currently running Win7) for pretty much the same reasons.

I still prefer XP because I find Vista and 7 to be overly fancy-looking. Dammit, functionality's more important than form!

Vista and 7 both have the 'disable aero' function, which more or less disables the fancy. Some programs do it automatically temporarily if they think you're going to slow with it on.

+1.

I admit that I've grown to like the fancy in the newer OS's. Or at least, I've gotten so used to it that when certain programs disable the fancy, it kinda throws me for a loop. Haven't noticed any real loss of functionality either, other than the lack of an easy Run command on the start menu.

You can just hit Windows key+r for the run command.

I learned something new today

Windows Key + E brings you to My Computer.
Windows Key + D brings you to desktop.
Windows Key + F brings you to search.
Windows Key + L brings you back to the login screen.
Windows Key + M minimizes all active windows.

Thank you, wise sir.

There's popcorn in the cupboard but if I eat it, I won't eat dinner. HNNNNNNNG CAN'T CHOOSE WANT POPCORN BUT ALSO WANT DINNER! The temptation is unbearable.

Easy: Eat popcorn with dinner.

You didn't tell them about Windows+Tab?

For shame.
