I would normally have 3 - 5 copies for FF running with 6 - 10 windows in each. This is how I like it and no I will not change it. So if I add it to the taskbar, and click to launch it. If I click it again it does not open another copy but bring it forward. LAME!
Exactly! Someone else who agrees!

I spent the other day arguing with a colleague the other day over the taskbar and how they stole the interface from KDE and did a piss poor job at it.

Why screw around with quicklaunch either?






One thing that annoys the missus is windows 7 advertising campaign. You know, the fudgepackers and lesbians saying "windows 7 was my idea".

Absoloutely cringeworthy adverts and what annoys her the most is they list selling point that have been around since win2k, such as home networking/printer sharing/media sharing and then trying to make out certain features like parental control are new when they are just aspects knabbed from AD.

On the second point though, I did say to her it was making things easier for retards to control their computer without using other apps. But the point remains the same that these capabilities have been around for ages and if you really care about user logon hours, you would lock down their profiles using AD anyway.

What makes us both laugh is how they try to make out that microsoft does exactly what the customer asks. The first time we heard "I told MS what to do, and they just did it" we almost wet ourselves.




I just cant believe the amount of sheeple that go on in public "oooo windows 7"



Baaaa baaaaaaaa
