You want tough? :) I have now poked around enough to see that they have worked _really_ hard to completely screw up the explorer. They've flipped the meaning of the open and explore commands; it's no big deal, but it's pointless. Where there were once scroll bars, one now has to hover with the mouse and somehow will the hidden pixels into view: maybe they were thinking of charging extra for that feature as a Ouija board simulator. I realize that I am expecting too much from a first service pack, but it seems sad to watch the system go into (minor) hysterics when faced with a flash drive in a USB port. The mouse cursor went nuts, and it seems to think it has several such drives connected (it does not) making it a fun exercise to figure out which of the devices to stop. Overall, it's worse than I expected, and THAT'S saying something. I might play around more tomorrow, but that noise you hear is a drive getting ready to be reformatted.

Re: [Pharo-project] [OT] Vista must-see items??

by Schwab,Wilhelm K

Tough, but honest :) Compiz is an interesting idea, and this machine should have the horses to do a good job of it. FWIW, it probably would last only about a week, so I might not even bother. Just to be fair (well a little more complete) in my exposure to Vista, I might put QCad on it for some drafting that needs to get done today and tomorrow. After that, Tux arrives.

You'll have a big clock and wheather and several gadgets more but, as any new windows install, you won't be able to do anything useful without installing several other apps before. I recommend to nuke it and install your penguin OS and try compiz for a similar experience. After a week or two you'll have enough of effects and you'll disable them (I promise) and you'll end with a normal machine, but without virus/malware. :) Miguel CobÃ¡ > > > > _______________________________________________ > Pharo-project mailing list > Pharo-project(a)lists.gforge.inria.fr > http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project _______________________________________________ Pharo-project mailing list Pharo-project(a)lists.gforge.inria.fr http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project _______________________________________________ Pharo-project mailing list Pharo-project(a)lists.gforge.inria.fr http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project
