Don't like glassy see through windows? Or is your computer just weak...

whoa! ho ho, dude got jokes!
it's Windows XP, not vista or 7, and specs are on the sig, it's the zotac gf9300. and no, i don't like the glazed window look, it serves no real purpose. what's wrong with 'classic'? and i don't mean to start an os flame war, but XP is tha shitz. the taskbar auto-hides! how cool is that?

You're right, the shiny glass bars and windows serve no real purpose,
other than not looking like a 8bit version of Mario Bros. bricks.

I just don't get it. Even the XP themes look better than that archaic crap.

The only reason the old versions of Windows looked like that...was because
they couldn't look any better at the time.

This isn't about XP vs. w/e.

It's about having a Corvette or Ferarri, and then scrubbing all the freaking paint off of it.

You can choose to auto hide vistas taskbar just goes to show how little you know.

True.

Most people that don't like Vista, have never spent any real time with it.

I think it's just a case of "I'm used to this, so it's good enough".

Many, many people do it, and a lot of them are XP users.

(Afraid of change)

Yep my dad is like that I finally convinced him to change over to vista now says he never won't to use XP again. If people would just give it time they would get used to it plus vista has more to offer then XP. Windows 7 is the best choice for an OS right now I haven't used it much butt I'm already planing to get it.

I suppose so...that cooler takes about 1/3 the entire interior space in the Antec

Very nice work with your computer. Great hardware choices all the way around

so i skipped vista, so what? i did try windows 7; it was nice but i didn't like it enough to make the change. let me ask you this: do you drive a hybrid/electric car? it's the 'next best thing'! do you ever use cash at all for anything? we all went plastic a while back. see, just because it's 'new and improved' doesn't mean it's better. this is a case of: 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'. besides, most of the 'improvements' are just personal preferences. you might wear logo'd clothes and team caps and maybe jewelry and tats; i'm comfy with jeans and a plain T. i like my desktops grayed out and inconspicuous. heck, i just put that picture up for the post, but i usually roll like this

Bodaggit23 · 08-09-2009, 08:44 AM

Yeah, you're right.

The Model A Ford was a great car too...
