mtmerrick:
I use my start menu religiously. loads of programs and custom shortcuts pinned to the main view of the start menu, and a crazy custom folder setup in the all apps menu.
TimO:
The trouble with Windows (and any other OS for that matter), is that to sell a new version, it needs to look radically different, so that people think that they're buying something new.
It would be nice if they spent effort on making it more resilient and bug proof, and better internals to program against, but that isn't what sells to the average bod on the street.
It's the difference between selling a new car based on it's greater efficiency and green credentials (which is starting to work to a degree), or selling it based on its looks, with Carlos Fandango spoilers and go faster stripes, which unfortunately is what makes it look like a fast car to the run of the mill bod.
Even open source software suffers from that, since they need to compete with Windows on the desktop, so have to also come out with a new and prettier version periodically.
Madmartigan:
I feel so alone.
Looks I'm one of the few hearing running on a MAC OS.
Sidhekin:
In an argument about Windows versions, don't expect OS X, Linux, FreeBSD, nor other Unixen to be hot topics.
Unless neck-beard AI makes a cameo. 8-)
* Sidhekin is mostly a Linux user, but the only thing keeping him from sharing his workplace experience with Vista, is the dread of reliving it all.
Mr_Rose:
My only workplace experience with Vista was wiping it so I could put XP on the company laptops.
