| K Smitten Kitten Cloud 9 530 Posts 2/06 | Posted - Nov 4 2009 : 4:16AM I thought it looked butt-ugly(*), and I couldn't find a friggin' thing. Win2k come back, all is forgiven... well, nearly all. *sigh* I guess I'm getting old. Some of the new-fangled ideas I see in the latest Linux desktops don't sit at all well with me either. (*) As in Ron Jeremy's hairy backside. Not Nina Hartley's dainty derriere. [Link] |

| Bob All-Star Member 5516 Posts 3/03 | Posted - May 3 2010 : 8:04PM It doesn't seem so bad at all. Maybe it's even good -- too early for me to tell. I still like the visual scheme of Vista better. Once I'm really up and running with Windows 7, I'll try a compare and contrast. [Link] |

This is awesome. 2: Apple fans still say "we dont get viruses because we dont have enough users to interest hackers". [Link] |

| Bornyo Deactivated Member 803 Posts 12/04 | Posted - May 4 2010 : 6:55PM Beyond knowing where the power switch, keyboard and mouse are, you shouldn't have to know all this other stuff. Of course, if it interests you then by all means be a hobbyist with them just like others who work on old cars or scrap-booking. [Link] |

| Bob All-Star Member 5516 Posts 3/03 | Posted - May 20 2010 : 11:05PM Windows 7 is not a hugely different product from Vista in the way that Vista was with respect to Windows XP (whether you liked the huge difference or hated it). It's really just Vista refined -- what Vista should have been if Microsoft hadn't rushed it to market. And it seems as if they rushed Windows 7 to market, too, because there are still plenty of bugs, some of them obvious -- such as the tiny, unadjustable font and icon on the welcome/login screen. Oh well. Maybe by the time they release Service Pack 1 . . . [Link] |

I have a couple of their devices - a Touch and a couple earlier iPods - but I have a robust enough list of iTunes grievances - unauthorized charges, purchased products being "stolen back," non-existent service, and, of course, The Dreaded Exclamation Point Error - that I'll never be a fan.

| Bob All-Star Member 5516 Posts 3/03 | Posted - Jun 14 2010 : 4:54PM Under Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate, a user can run XP as a virtual machine at the same time that the regular operating system is running and can switch between them the same way that one can switch between "conventional" windows on either operating system. The two parallel operating systems share printers, scanners, optical drives, and files seemlessly. So you can run applicatoins in Windows 7 at the same time that you are running other applications in XP. This embedded XP mode is much smoother and more convenient than Microsoft's previous implementation of virtual machines in Vista. In addition, you don't need to pay for or install XP separately. A couple of very compact programs, available for free download from Microsoft, do all the (light) lifting that's necessary in a matter of minutes. The only "glitch" -- if you can call it that -- is the necessity to install separate anti-virus and anti-malware program for the virtual machine. However, Microsoft Security Essentials is free and reasonably good, so that's what I'm using for my virtual XP machine. All in all, very spiffy! [Link] |

| Cornell Lingus Senior Member Carryin', contrarian, libertarian 2982 Posts 1/08 | Posted - Dec 16 2010 : 11:45PM Now a colleague of mine just bought a new laptop and is getting used to Windows 7 after having been on XP for years. He can't get Windows 7 or the Office 2010 package figured out, but that likely has more to do with him being in the middle of a months-long alcoholic binge than anything else. [Link] |
