All the Vista Bashing

code frog 0

I agree with that. It's not the chatting that bothers me. It's the people who are just repeating what they have heard. I think if you go read back through my comments you'll see that's the thread I'm spinning. I just hate it when someone says, "Yeah, Aero sucks." and they have not used it. Have not seen it in fact they really couldn't name one feature of Aero and yet they are just spouting crap. I'm not pro-aero or against it but if you are going to just wagon-bash it then save us all the time of reading your comments. Chatting about something casually is very different.

I laugh really hard at the bashers because most of them will have Vista installed as soon as it's released and to me that's quite funny.

I'm sure you're right on target with that one. :baaaa!: will be :baaaa!:, won't they?

Yeah, I've been there. I think most of the stuff from Rational really needs to be reworked. We had to use their whole test suite on C++ stuff ... made my colon ache. I just don't like it when people repeat what they've heard but not what they've experienced. That's the basis of my stand. The other part is if you want someone to take you seriously be very clear. * You didn't like what for what reason? * How does that reason have a negative impact on your experience? Etc, etc, etc... Spouting off with "This sucks." or "That sucks." is just schoolyard talk and it's drivel. Give some reasons.

It was reference to an identical post I made to the same guy in the soapbox, so I should at least get a 2 for subtlety, and a 3 for being able to use the same line twice without anyone knowing.

So if I want to rename "New Text Document.txt" to something else, only "New Text Document" is highlighted. That's ultra nice, IMO.

Now, what would be Super Extremely Ultra Nice would be a way to change the extension of a whole bunch of files in one go, without changing the other parts of the name. You know, the sort of thing you can do easily from a decent command line, but probably can't remember the syntax for since you only need to do it once every few months.

I tested it, and I don't know what the fuss is all about actually. It has some nice features (Aero, sidebar, Windows explorer looks good, download manager and tabbed I-net explorer). I wasn't able to test the Aero Glass feature though :^). The amzing thing is that it installed in about 15 or 20 minutes !:omg: What does amazes me, is that it takes soó long to release. Coulda, woulda, shoulda doesn't matter if you don't. :beer:

Exactly, which is why I am happy taking twice the time and enjoying it.
