Ticked: Just realized that Renegade Ops and Just Cause 2 are direct X 10 only and thus not XP compatible :x

I really dislike Windows 7 (suffer through it on customer PCs all the time) and the Windows 8 preview I've checked out is My First Fisher Price Noisebox for 3 year olds. Push the button to hear a cow go moo! :evil: :evil: :evil:

If you want him to name something he doesn't like so you can invalidate it by telling him how it's not REALLY a problem, don't bother. If you are genuinely curious, fine.

I like Win7 alright, I even like Vista OK (that's what I use right now), but I don't like folks who try to tell people what they are right to like or not like.

Unless you like x, because then you're stupid ; )

Just curious.

Nah, DinnerX is a sensible person who doesn't rabble rouse. :wink:

I've whined about it before. I hate the interface. I hate all the 'helper' bullshit that clutters up everything, a bunch of which I haven't been able to figure out where to turn off. I don't need transparent windows zooming around the screen. UAC is a good idea but horribly implemented. I dislike having power tools hidden from me. Blah blah blah. :(

You can't even download files to the C drive from the internet without changing settings. :x

What power tools are hidden??? I feel like I need my tweakui fix on 7 now.

TICKED: My professor (or the TA I guess?) hasn't graded any of my work except for a simply introductory assignment, which was graded on the 15th. Seems a bit on the slow side, and I would like some feedback to know if I'm doing things correctly. :?

:) -- Warioware Twisted (and I'm guessing the series in general) - 9 Volt's stages are a love letter to any NES fan, I played the micro games based on SMB, SMB3, Zelda, Donkey Kong 3, Metroid, Mach Rider, Baseball, Clu Clu Land, Wrecking Crew, Excitebike, and Kid Icarus (with the "I'M FINISHED!" message when you mess up)

Nice.
