Bill, Just wait until you are familiar with the nuances of penguin power too ;) Travis -----Original Message----- From: pharo-project-bounces@lists.gforge.inria.fr [mailto:pharo-project-bounces@lists.gforge.inria.fr] On Behalf Of Schwab,Wilhelm K Sent: Tuesday, July 28, 2009 8:22 PM To: Pharo-project@lists.gforge.inria.fr Subject: Re: [Pharo-project] [OT] Vista must-see items?? 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.

By that time free upgrade coupon would have arrived for the retail version, and new machines are entitled to it after June 26th, but I rest my case :)
Your statement having a severe semantic error: the words 'free' and 'Microsoft' can't be used together in same context :)

Hello all,
I finally bought a new machine. Â It arrived with a severe malware infection (Vista), and while I was tempted to blow it away w/o even so much as letting it boot, I decided to have a look. Â Is there anything I should try before the stampede of Penguins begins?
In particular, is there any way to gag the animation/visual effects/whatever they call them?
Bill
