    So, I edit a bitmap and click save as. It starts me not in the folder I loaded from, but my pictures folder. There's a drop arrow next to the file path, and so I click it, expecting to see a bunch of recent paths. I get a bunch of URLs, my browse history, I guess. So, I want to save my bitmap to a URL ?

            I think the world is going to explode. Microsoft can go to hell they are fucked up. Microsoft needs to take responsibility for their terrible mistakes. The world runs on computers and 90% of the computers are running their software. They need to get their shit together.

                MS have really lost it with Vista. If it wasn't for the .NET framework and gaming I would happily jump on the open source ship.

                        hahaha its good to see the relative comparisions, But comparing vista with linux X| ... is like comparing between rich and poor , both have problems but the rich looks better than poor does that mean that most of the software's now a days s**ks big time !

                          Damn, just spent 10 minutes trying to find searches that made your post look silly. No luck. "firefox bugs" returns 47 million while "internet explorer bugs" returns just 9 million. Weird.

                            you also have to consider the time when vista is launched, its only around 6 months

                                          MS have really lost it with Vista. If it wasn't for the .NET framework and gaming I would happily jump on the open source ship.

                                          I tried to move over to Linux. After spending a couple of days with ubuntu not liking my gfx card and causing my headaches and people suggesting I try gentoo, but I'd have to compile it my self, I went back to my installation of vista and spent the next 2 days operating at 100% efficiency rather than 0% :P I know this is alot to do with my inexperience with Linux but I'm after an OS I can install, click a few updates and then use ... not something where I have to do this, try that, find out the drivers arn't around yet or compile myself. If you enjoy messing around with OS's then it's probably great :D I personally like messing aorund with games and some light development to unwind from work :P
