yeah my HDD is small ... im still old HW user kinda sucks to see USB stick to have bigger storage than my partition then again I belong to those "if it aint broken don't fix it"

Noel I read somewhere (most probably on MDL forums) that w10 (server I guess) allows boot from ReFS partition

AFAIK it is still in testing stages also by analysis of other IT people, it seems ReFS is crippled compared to NTFS its only advantage is that self-healing thing that nobody cares about

so I have 32gig USB stick but by default it came with FAT32 FS now that I stiffed bunch of movies on it I wish to have it in NTFS, but don't want to format or lose data can conversion be made "direct" without killing data on it ?

people are missing the point of both Vivaldi = another Chrome clone Otter = QT based browser that uses ported Webkit engine (QTWebKit), but is not Chrome clone, thus works blazing fast and has small memory footprint - they both aim at bringing back old Opera features, but are miles away in difference under the hood

I hated XP, mostly coz I was winME user, but that thing was so unstable that I wanted solid OS then I heard of its "brother" win2000, but it lacked good multimedia support then years later I switched to XP SP1 that was blazing fast and loved it since

can't tell anymore when hes sarcastic or not

@ TELVM: you're wrong as that hand palm looks 3d-ish, that would be anti winblows 11 user experience guide for flat stupid design

replace it with dud.exe and see what happens

thats why I loved testing Longhorn and Vista betas so many technology there was stiffed in with nice glossy themes (vista beta 1-2) heck even alphas of win "7" were exciting, especially the PDC 6801 build theres one guy who still today is importing some stuff from both vista betas and alphas (longhorn) into XP source, to kinda get best of 2 worlds but with this win8/10 crap, oh well ... I ain't gonna touch them

I'm more offended with icons being colored BW rocks !

ahh you guys...

no I'm not chrome and idiotic firefox started that bul***** before that all was fine, Opera worked on all sites and IE.... who gives a s*** then comes HTML 5/CSS 3, and hypocritic chrome and ff become using their own prefixes poor opera had to follow and since then agent strings started to determine who has "rights" to approach the web bloody idiotic world most ironic, all now put "mozilla 5 compatible" inside string what the hell is with that ?

Noel you can't kill desktop as long as touch based OS cannot be used as workstation as easy as plain desk PC - programming aka writing code on tablets is disaster - playing any games that require both keyboard+mouse is disaster - doing any serious both 2D and 3D rendering and editing of images/objects is disaster lets not forget how cluttered and unmanaged "Metro OS" is its just not happening, and as much as I hate to start with Apple, but they realized this long long time ago... you have special OS for touch devices and special OS for Desk PC's that does integrate SOME services related to cloud and all that bul***** in fact and I hate repeating myself like **** parrot, but touch in general, will only become dominant with holographic DEVICES, and by the time home users can afford this and machines and apps become available, I'm affraid humanity will be long gone ... some things just don't add up just like isometric games could not totally use 3D objects (except voxels, and only 1 company did this) so industry HAD to switch onto 3D engines/games just look at the Vista, Vista is in fact 3D OS, everything is mapped via DWM into 3D space yet we all still use 2D objects and "2D OS", simply coz you can't invoke user experience of 3D onto 2D display

4bit graphic

and this just shows how browser wars again come if they all would comply to W3C standards, there would be NO need for any user agent string at all but this is such a bul***** childish game that I'm so sick of few months ago I had to hex-edit agent string in OLD Opera 11, to show Firefox 24 in order to approach Apple's iCloud site ain't that hilarious ? it gets better now, now I'm using Otter along with old Opera, and Otter allows users to manually write whatever agent string they want... (which is great for the very reason above) so will web at the end become playground for agent strings ?

why would anyone use MS search at all

well personally I don't care as they are shooting themself in the leg all I see in my country widely, that goverment institutions use either win7 or server 2003 while stores and supermarkets use XP for cashiers that says something

exactly they just wanted to distance themself from bad image of "8" just like "7" did from vista

lol my boot is within 45 seconds and I have old machine

doubt that companies have time to customize that shit OS on massive scale

I never used vistas nor 7's search as they both suck a** so does of 8 and 10 indexer is garbage, and MS never uses MFT search which is instant and no resource hungry at all as for XP UI, whats wrong with it ? - don't misplace ugly theme and UI itself, 2 big different things

not really IE or more specific MSHTML is integrated into system (shell needs it) and as of winblows 8, its mandatory for metro-crap to me anything that is so tight integrated into system = ticking bomb I don't even enjoy having .net 2 integrated, yet it has to be coz of DWM but what happens when security hole is found within .net 2 ? they won't support it coz its out of real use, its ancient

well there lies your problem you use piece of sh* software

cortana is hilarious to me coz in my country it comes close to name for dick and condom
