Fufufu... as long as you're willing to stick with Saseko, I'll even offer you a rocket pack.  ^__^

[Darknight_88]

FOOLS! don't let yourselves be deceived by the evil penguins and their cubes!

THIS is what you can get with Vista!



Ok, I failed. That sucked in comparison to Beryl...

But...
3D functions kinda suck, be it Vista or Linux with Beryl.

I just don't see the point. I won't deny I like eyecandy to some degree, but sometimes its just excessive. Doing it the old way its faster and more effective. First screenshot taken just for the sake of it, but I don't really use the 3d Flip function. And I have tested Beryl on a friend's computer...kinda cool, but don't really see the utility, aside the 4+ desktops.
I would have disabled aero interface If it weren't for the fact that the basic interface sucks hard.

So I'll let Vista hog 450mb of RAM >_>. Aside that it's not that bad.

[C-Chan]

Amen to that, brother.... ^___^

Call me old-school, but while I love Beryl I really only see it as a recruitment tool.  It has some neat useful tools, but at the end of the day I just find myself unconsciously doing things the old-fashioned way.  ^^;

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut,............

At least i know you're drawing that cute MP3 player-tan.  ^__^

Fufufu....

BTW, Xeon, reinforcements have arrived as I promised you....  ^.^''
Just try to make sure youz two don't do anything that void your licenses,.... and if you do give the M$ support technician hell for that.  ^v^

I agree too. 3d effects are tons of fun to show off, but when it comes down to it, I really don't use it. I tend to simplify my settings when I'm working, which is why it's easy to use 2k-chan if I absolutely need windows. Without the eyecandy, the other windows really aren't that different from 2k.
Thing with Beryl, though, is I it doesn't require a lot, so running it isn't too detrimental to productivity; I can run it and forget about it. Same on my Mac.

uh? people actually use Microsoft Support?? o_O
Anyway, I usually don't mess a lot with  Windows. Only tweak details here and there to upgrade performance. Nothing much

Without the eyecandy, the other windows really aren't that different from 2k.

so true. The only other thing I like about Vista it's the indexing thing. So much faster to find a file this way. I'm even starting to change the names of my files to actual names (not numbers..) due to this. Search tools on XP were too slow and unaccurate. And I know, Google Desktop did this before (dunno about Linux, probably too), but I never liked Google Desktop.

Thing with Beryl, though, is I it doesn't require a lot, so running it isn't too detrimental to productivity

And that's the most important characteristic about Beryl I always hear. I don't know If it's just Microsoft incompetence or they made Aero such a resource hog on purpose. I hope it's not the later. Probably it is.

However,  2D interface are still the best. The only good reason for creating a Beryl-like interface on Windows (and that cube, by now, still lags far away from Beryl) would be to stop the exodus of people attracted by Beryl into Linux. Gotta keep the balance in the force

If its any consolation for her, tell her she has the honor of having 1,357,594 alternative Vistan designs drawn in her honor..... ^_______________^

Vista calmed down a little bit after that comment.however i suggest you dont interact with vista-tan for a while....shes still pissed at you and is wearing her Kiss the Pork Apron and seems to have a hunger for bacon ^__^.

BTW, Xeon, reinforcements have arrived as I promised you.... ^.^''

Sweet now i can start a cult, all i need now is more members and a banner :3.

I think your a little late senpai..... because according to the license below
"License Misunderstanding:
Before buying, you should carefully read the fine print and understand what you are buying and what that license entails. If you buy an OEM license for Vista, you can upgrade a multiple times only on one computer, provided you upgrade components just about twice, preferably never. If you upgrade more than twice, the license becomes void and you will need to buy a new one. Retail license copies, on the other hand, can be transferred at any time."
And since mine is an oem version.....and i formatted more then twice....HAH!! I DONT CARE I DONT LIVE IN THE US ^__^ FREEDOM!!! XD*besides im not buying another copy just because i formatted to much.....*

Without the eyecandy, the other windows really aren't that different from 2k.

*Nods*

I just don't see the point. I won't deny I like eyecandy to some degree, but sometimes its just excessive. Doing it the old way its faster and more effective.

*nods again*

And while on my escapades to improve my vista, i found something for you eye candy windowers people

Wow, that's XP right?  (judging from Start menu)
That really does make Vista essentially XP with a new desktop theme, preinstalled eyecandy plugins and 10x more DRM.  ^^;
