[quote]There are 3 sides to every argument. New York TImes's biased spin, ars technica's biased spin, and then there is the truth somewhere in between[/quote] The truth is out there......somewhere......we definitely agree on that I am looking forward to the new release of FF...I hope it's a step forward, although I have no complaints about FF 2.
[quote]Now that's one of the worst attempts at spinning something I have ever read[/quote] Did you read the link? In case you didn't, here's a bit more spin:- [quote]"In every release cycle, everyone wants every bug to block a release and therefore everyone is 'blocker-happy,' and later in the cycle, all are changed to non-blocker status except the most critical as perceived by developers, drivers, and testers," writes A
[quote]I heard 80% of the reported bugs will not be fixed in the release.[/quote] [quote] [B]Reports of Firefox 3.0 bugs overblown, most significant bugs squashed[/B] By Ryan Paul ...stated that approximately 80 percent of the bug reports currently characterized as blockers will not be closed before the Firefox 3 release. This statement has been broadly misinterpreted in the press, largely as the result of a New York Times article which conveyed the statistic witho

[quote]I find that hard to believe. I personally know around 10 people that have installed \ bought a machine with it on... every single one of them has let me know how much they regretted it. Thats 100%[/quote] I have six friends, all either installed Vista on their computers or bought with computers with Vista on. All love Vista, have had no regrets and will not revert to XP. 100% satisfaction my end Quote from wikiped
[quote]You should try skinning it, the skinning of the start menu has been significantly restricted now in Vista.[/quote] I know this has been a major problem and frustration for skinners, however I was talking about it from a usability standpoint. [quote]Anyway, why should you use a keyboard to find an app? Might as well go back to DOS[/quote] I understand your view Fuzzy, but a keyboard is an integral part of any PC/Laptop. Perhaps I am lucky that I'm left handed but
I had this same problem with Vista Home Premium, OD+ and Adobe products. If I ran them from OD+ they switched to basic theme. If I ran them from the start menu then everything was fine. I never found a solution....... .....however when I re-installed Vista, this time the Enterprise version, re-installed OD+ the problem went away
[quote]Trying to figure out where all the OD programs place files is nuts. They are everywhere. Let me know if you can find the wall. I want to use it with LogonStudio to create a login. [/quote] In Vista the OD stuff is installed in: C:\Users\Public\Documents\Stardock The walls etc for Quest are here: C:\Users\Public\Documents\Stardock\ThemeManager\Quest
[quote]It's really nice with Outlook 2007 and I hear now it is also available with the new windows live mail beta. One draw back to all of this is confusing the server settings for an imap account. Be careful what you use for some accounts such as aol does not support the inbox folders.[/quote] I've started to use the new Windows Live Mail (it's just come out of beta) and they have something called Outlook Connector [link="http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HA102225181033.aspx"](
[quote]The seven things I hate about Vista: 1) The start menu 2) The start menu 3) The start menu 4) The start menu 5) The start menu 6) The start menu 7) The start menu The single largest step backwards in O/S history. Who ever designed that folder system should be keel-hauled.[/quote] I find the Start Menu a huge step forward. To have one neat small menu where all you have to do is type the first three letters of the app you are looking for in
[font="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"]Satan There was a construction worker who was working on a building when he fell 15 stories to his bloody death. He arrived at the pearly gates and St. Peter said "Oh, I am sorry, my son. But you have been sentenced to hell." The worker agreed -- not like he could do anything else -- and he was on his way. When he arrived, the devil looked at him and said, "Ah! A new slave. We shall burn you and throw you in the fiery pits." <b
Quest is the first blind that has enticed me away from the Vista Aero theme..great job and thank you Here's hoping for many more
Try Control Panel - Hardware and Sound - Change System Sounds It's just the same as the old XP sounds options and you can either disable or add your own .WAV file
It's a little tricky to view your screenshot, as it requires a password on your server to see it. Maybe try a web image hosting service.
[quote]Available through SDC[/quote] [quote]Turbo is the Premium skin listed under ObjectDesktop, Quest is the premium suite. Just install it through SDC and rebuild your skin list, it'll be there.[/quote] Thank you both, got them now.. And thanks Stardock, great skins
How do I access these new suites? I'm an OD subscriber, but when I go to the Subscriber Resources section I do not see anything new. Have I missed the obvious?
It is generally much better to carried out a 'clean' install of Vista, rather than an upgrade. That way you are starting from a completely fresh version of Vista. Of course you will have to back up all your docs, pictures etc first on an external drive, then copy them back after, as well as re-install all of your programs, including Windowblinds. It may take longer, but the end result will be a much healthy system. You can select a clean install from your upgrade disk. You will have
