Vista RC1 Options

[impala454]

Just installed this tonight, pretty sweet... the flip3d task switching is freakin tight as hell. last time I installed it was beta 1, and this version seems way more polished.

also didn't realize they have their own new document format... "xps" (similiar to pdf). don't know much about it, but they have a 300 page document full of color photos & tables and the entire document is like 12 MB

so then you were turning it into a "my OS is better than your OS". and look closely, when I'm an asshole in a thread, it's purely retaliation. i rarely, if ever, actually start the shit. don't fucking come into a thread i start, talk shit about it, and not expect me to respond.

Your sarcasm is lost on me. I wasn't trying to turn it into anything, was merely making a simple statement that you took as an attack. You rarely start the shit? I'm not even touching this one. Stop acting like you're an innocent bystander in this and take it for what it is, two people arguing over something stupid.

You've come into threads that multiple people have started (myself included) and "started shit". And if I do read correctly I never actually started anything. I merely stated it looks a lot like OS X and that memory usage for me was pretty bad (I don't have a beast of a machine).

I see Vista as a waste of MS resources. They could have spent the 3+ years that they sunk into it doing something with XP and building some really useful tools. VS.NET 2005 is a start and they need to stick to that path, giving people tools to make their product even better.

What I hope is that they have some installation options for people who are not technically inclined (my grandparents) or their Emachines are gonna run like crap.
