Getting kinda tired of the emails coming in saying my account here has been locked. Failed login attempts it says. Maybe you could delete my account or something? I couldnt find your email to contact you. Also how am I registered here 5 years before you? lol
I hate Vista. But oddly enough, I'm warming up to 7. I even put it on my main pc as my sole OS right now, after testing it on the laptop. To me, it just feels like Vista, but less aggresive to the customer. I may actually buy my first legal copy of Windows with this one.
Yes the old start menu seems to be gone, but at this point, I rarely used it on XP anyway. Having the quick access to the most common apps, is fine for me. I like the new tray. I especially like how quick launch was replaced with just additional icons that look and act exactly like the open window icons, except that they dont go away when the windows are closed. I like how all related windows combine neatly, with a popup of each set. Yes its a lot of visual flair bullshit, but somehow they've worked a good balance of graphics vs productivity I think.
Yes, I like some of the fundamental changes to the control panels as you mentioned. There's quite a lot of enhancements, the more you play with them.
Also I gatta say, XP was failing me in terms of some graphics glitches in many recent games, as well as my new wireless 360 controller absolutely refusing to sync. It would only sync if I used some crazy japanes ehomebrew driver. I tried reinstalling the official driver countless times but it was a piece of shit on XP. On 7, and I assume Vista too, the controller was recognized and fully installed in 5 fucking seconds, all automatically. Thank god. Then I have games like R6 Vegas 2 that no longer have flickering shadows like they did on XP.
Unfortunately, there are some issues with 7 right now which I hope they fix before release. For example, my wireless on my machines are being flakey. The router is like 10 feet from my systems and it says it only gets 3 bars, and always fails to connect after attempting for like 0.5 seconds. Some days it works, some not so much. Also, all games that use Bink video, which there are many, are completely muted. Not sure why. Maybe an incompatibility with the new DX11? Google has failed me on this one.

Wow, you're still alive greg. You ever ganna hop on AIM?
I've actually been listening to all the Sonic vocal tracks, including the ones from all the modern Sonic games I've been passing up. I actually like the butt-rock.
Heh, I wonder if I could buy a quick little layout off you soon then. I can't do this crap at all. I need help.
You're hardly on AIM anymore Greg, but you seem quite active on here. 🙁
Also Tim, haven't talked to you in the longest time, but I wanted to let you know about my site in case Greg didn't tell ya:
